I find it ironic that contrapoints is saying that "you know what follows in your revolution scenario, it's a civil war" and, like, lady the only thing that has moved the ticker towards Biden is covid, and the toll has been roughly a third of the civil war casualties so far. Literally hundreds of thousands of people had to die before a significant number of voters even considered Biden.
The civil war never even ended, ask George Floyd or Breonna Taylor or Fred Hampton. Armed struggle is here, we're just losing and it doesnt affect everyone equally.
Completely outside of Biden bullshit...every fucking revolution requires violence, because the oppressors will never give up their power willingly and nonviolently. Idealism doesn't help anyone at the end of the day, it's better to understand the reality that revolution is violent, always has been and always will be.

you know what follows civil war? Fuck off you absolutely don't.
That's the better argument IMO. Especially with a disorganized and weak left.
