NEVER give up control of the military.

    Gonzaloids continue to have a normal one.

    Like fuck, successful communist movements have (largely) limited themselves to defensive violence, and instances where they stepped outside of that are generally (correctly) considered mistakes.

      How is what I’m saying anything other than that?

      who would commit acts of horrible violence against the revolution and the proletariat.

      Emphasis on “would”. You can rephrase it as “will” if that makes you feel better.

      Gonzalo was an idiot who thought that murdering the proletariat would build class consciousness.

        And how do you know exactly who would, for sure? You can see the future?

        Putting aside how it's bad to kill people who haven't done anything wrong yet, consider the practical implications: it opens you to counter-intelligence operations to get you to execute loyal party members, for instance.

          Good start: The chuds posting pictures on facebook of their guns and about how much they want to shoot communists.

            Facebook posturing is enough to keep an eye on them. I wouldn't round them up and kill them outright - that's a lot of people who haven't committed a crime other than having their peanut brains rotted by American propaganda.

            The ones that immediately joining organized militias, yeah have at it.

              I’ll remember to add conditional statements to a throwaway shitpost comment next time.

              Reason I’m being a dick about this is because as a woman I’m used to having hairs split over words I pick. Probably not your intent.

              Anyways communism will win, kill and eat the rich, etc etc. Thanks for the banter.

                Nah, sorry if it came off that way. It's just that in the last few days I've had several arguments on here with people who were (edit: or seemed to be) calling for some pretty excessive violence. Hope you have a good day.
