Like the only criticisms other marxists/leftists bring up about parties like the pcp is that gonzalo killed people, like who cares would the reprisals in the first world not be worse? like if some county/city were to start a counterrevolution after being docile under the bourgeoisie they're ALL dying
>>2907190>when it comes to the decision of whether or not to resort to political violence, these kinds of ethical dilemmas have to be sorted out with a civil conversation that arrives at a consensus decision and if the people are not even capable of doing that, then it is unreasonable for them to expect to be able to build a civilized egalitarian society after the revolution is overI regret reading that slop kill yourself or never participate in any form of civil disobedience
>just kill random civilians bro,violence is inevitable
don't be surprised when the "masses" you're supposed to lead breath a sigh of relief when you get drone striked
>>2907207
That wasn’t in jail, also rude
>>2907193>if people were so opposed to violence then they probably wouldn't enjoy violent movies so much.are you retarded?
>>2907205>just kill random civilians bro,violence is inevitablethis was never my point
>>2907207whatever that means homo
It's a question of whether the violence is properly used and directed, and holding perpetrators accountable when its not. Violence is a tool and probably a necessary one in the course of class struggle, but it must be used only when necessary, judiciously, and with discipline. People who misdirect it or are excessive should be apprehended, tried, and punished. I'd say excesses alone are probably inevitable and aren't sufficient cause to withdraw support, but a party or movement that has far to many excesses and refuses to correct them (i.e. prevent them in the future and punish those responsible) will undermine itself and the socialist cause.
it's all romantic and exciting until the revolutionaries run out of cops and soldiers to kill and they're drinking and still high on adrenaline and they decide to break down your door to steal every valuable thing you own and cave in your skull with a rifle butt and run a train on your wife.

>>2907488It's a strategic decision to be made according to the forms of organization that prove most effective in the course of class struggle.
