Funny thing is communists DONT year for violent revolution, they yearn for a more egalitarian society, but fucking capitalists just murder them for even wanting it.
That's literally what they do, they push it to the peripheries where an underclass is barely paid to do it for them, this applies to animal farming as well as imperialism.
A necessary, unavoidable pre-requisite. I don't know why you'd feel the need to hand-wring over it unless you have substantive criticism of the application of violence in the revolution.

If you are reading history and conclude anglos have generally been anti violence, you've got the book upside down or something.
I think you're reading my comment upside down.
Any read of F-R that doesn't start with "good" is poisoned by 18th century english propaganda, CMV
The revolution was good, but I am firmly in the violence is a necessary evil camp. Bully me about it all you want.
