I believe that due to the inherent contradictions of capitalism a revolution is inevitable, and necessary, but it's still not something that is easily palatable. Revolution is certainly romanticized, yet I still question every day whether or not I would be willing to die for my beliefs. My question to my fellow comrades is do you think non-violent form of revolution is possible, or will the state and reactionaries always crack down? I know that in the past those with power and prestige have been reluctant to give it up.
Ya, I think I agree. At a certain point, I think that people, especially in rich places, are... moving beyond war? Which feels absurd to say about america, but I think makes a kind of sense.
As ideas like Human Rights become increasingly entrenched in culture, and as people continue to become, generally, less violent and more... content? I think we’ll see a much lower tolerance for total war. If some states seceded, I don’t think we’d see Civil War II: Baby Come Backaloo. Even as unlikely as seccession is at this point, I think it’s even less likely that it would come as war, if it did.
