Like I think a central state is needed for the first phase of the revolution, but the more brutal aspects is something I just don't want to do, even if I understand why they did them?

    I would rather not have a gulag system. I acknowledge that there will have to be military conflicts that will break our morals. Still in peacetime, there needs to be something of a Bill of Rights and legal process as protection.

      Of course! If you're so inclined, please read the Constitution of the USSR. It's got a lot of cool stuff in there

        The options are prisons, or just shooting people. And if we choose prisons, in a war time economy, we need to have them working too.

          Or re-education camps, they have an extremely negative connotation, but it is the high road, especially if we have the convictions of our own ideology.

          I say we set up a reservation somewhere, like Death Valley, and we name it "Galt's Gulch" and send all the hardcore capitalists who refuse to live under socialism there. While they are confined to the reservation, they would be left alone to figure out how to survive, for the most part. Maybe the free market will save them?
