Maybe you should hang around left wingers more

Being an evil person to get rid of evil just makes another evil person, you can believe you are good until you die but can you believe the person who comes after you will be?

MLK jr and Gandhi bettered life for their people without violence

uhhh, maybe you should?

left wingers have zero respect for laws and will make the world better and fairer by any means necessary.

as a leftist if I somehow got control of the state I would immediately order for the rounding up and execution of every single person in the country who is either a corporate executive for a top-250 corporation or in possession of assets worth 100 million or more.

because that would be the most efficient way of rapidly reducing the risk of the wealthy wresting back control.

and it would be totally ethical

as for gandhi and MLK, well, india is a fascist dictatorship and, well, how are things looking for black people in the US?

Not to bat for the disgustingly wealthy, but at the point Leftists have had a successful revolution, we don't need to execute them outright, just lift their assets and jail them if they resist, or execute if they go on to become terrorists. Learn from successful revolutions, when the Cuban revolution succeeded Castro was actually very lenient in comparison to Batista.

Revolution is bloody, and we won't make excuses, but at a certain point it risks dogmatism. Billionaires aren't like Minecraft characters that drop their inventories on death, revolution is actually very sensible because it's a lot easier to sieze their assets when the working class has control.

don't get me wrong, if the choice for a non-violent revolution is there, i would take it every time.

but if, somehow, i magically became the president without any kind of revolutionary effort, that's what i would do, and i would be totally justified in doing so

You definitely aren’t a leftist

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 1 points 18 minutes ago (1 children)

yes, i am. i know how horribly evil capitalism is and i would gladly make that sacrifice.

The sacrifice of being a fascist is definitely left wing
