We can't reeducate or shoot the reactionaries because that would make us evil authoritarian tankies
Oh no, the reactionaries we didn't reeducate or shoot instituted an armed takeover and now they're torturing and killing us along with countless innocent people! It was worth it to preserve our moral purity, though
Real revolutionary socialist states: "evil authoritarian red fash, why can't you be instantly perfect utopias?!!!?"
Failed revolutions: pure, good, unburdened by reality and the fact that every capitalist state wants you dead, totally would have established a worker's utopia in a week if it succeeded, despite being besieged on all sides.
Sounds great, can you grassroots me some air defense systems so my grassroots mutual aid non-state can stop getting bombed by the USAF? Thanks.
