Every time we chat, and the discussion turns towards capitalism, she’s the one who without any hesitation just says we should kill them all. Now, though, it’s gone further to torture. And she names names. In addition to people like Bezos and Musk, she includes Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and others.

I say we should force them to work and maybe learn the error of their ways (After the revolution of course. During it many of these fucks will die and I’ll be glad).

Her current jobs is extremely horrible. She’s being massively overworked, verbally abused and, of course, underpaid. So I get her frustration. But it’s also scary. I don’t want her to get in any trouble.

I don’t know if I should be gently turning her away from imagining a slow and painful torture of capitalists or not. Am I being a lib or is she too extreme?

    Mandela is a good example. He walked the walk, engaged in a violent struggle, was captured and subjected to horrible imprisonment, but emerged to become the leader of a peaceful draw down of the conflict. Thank you for bringing him up, I never would have thought of that.

      Yeah a lot of what he said is very insightful. Reading "a long walk to freedom" from a socialist perspective is eye opening.

      I'm South African, so it's the first thing that came to mind actually. As I said I used to disagree with what he said on certain topics, but I recognise the value of what he was trying to say now.

          Yeah it's his autobiography. A lot of libs and conservatives read it and completely miss the point.

          It's not theory or anything, but it's a good book.
