Hot take: people edging themselves over revolutionary violence is my least favorite Chapo aesthetic.

I understand that revolution is messy, and that revolutionary violence often doesn't have the benefit of the drapery of both legitimacy and time to always make strategic selections - so it shouldn't be held to the same standards as imperial violence. And there's a huge difference between violence in service of a cause/revolution, and retributory violence.

We shouldn't strive for a revolution which we end by executing old men in front of firing squads (looking at the top comment on the recent post about Bernie Sanders). Jeff Bezos shouldn't be guillotined, he should be forced to participate in the restructuring and nationalization of Amazon, and then should be a worker, same as everyone else.
