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?
She may just be letting off steam since her job sucks. Its normal to be extreme at first, especially in the US with conditions being what they are, ideally the workers would either become acquainted with theory to not to make errors out of rage, anger like this is self-defeating, some is good since it helps drive you to improve things, a lot blinds you and can make you a useful tool of the bourgeois in their painting all the left as mere adventurist terrorists hurting the proletariat instead of liberating them. Also have to note conditions, why violence was necessary, sometimes you do need it, torture is a hard no, its one thing to kill someone its another thing to objectify them as a spectacle and drag out their death. We are trying to move toward more humanized interactions, returning again to coercive human-object relations (like under capitalism) in order to do something as idealistic as 'make a point' is self-defeating here. No one but the bourgeois and silly libs care for 'preachers and high-flung ideas' they want praxis, what can you do to make things better tangibly?
