Is revolutionary violence good or bad? Is it something you can celebrate? Almost all marxist revolution resulted in a excessive parade of violence. Is violence justified if it is used to overthrow capitalism? Can violence ever be justified? Are violent tactics really necessary? Is revolutionary violence good or bad?

It's not about how this is justified or not, violence will always seems justified from the point of view of the one who's doing it, much less from the point of view of the one on the receiving end.
It's about whether violence is strategically and tactically productive, and this is highly context dependent.

Left wing violence is always and has always been retaliatory. Most of the time when the working class or whatever left wing movement were gaining steam, the right comes in to crush the movement, and if the left wing succeeds they usually retaliate ten fold against the enemies of the revolution. We only pay blood for blood, never as an attack but to make an example example against the enemies of the revolution.

There's a reason why a red terror follows even a "peaceful" left wing revolution. The red terror is the just desserts, the just retaliation and the just purging of the people who spilt our blood. There's a good reason why liberals fear the "aftermath" of a working class revolution, what they fear is retaliation and fear of being on the wrong side of history.

The answer to a certain question is simple: do you fear the red terror? If your answer is no, then you are a true communist and friend of the revolution, if you do fear the red terror for ANY reason then you are indeed a liberal and have what's coming to you unless you accept the revolution enthusiastically.

Then let them have one. But you won't, because that's a threat to your profits. Even if social democracy is a release valve against extremism in difficult times as FDR knew, the porkies won't even budge and give us the most basic crumbs. When the most milquetoast of social democrats are demonized, ostracized, and called radical communists, they might as well just be radical communists.
This is why black people in America will burn down cities and police cars and smash windows. The punishment for existing is the same as the punishment for doing crime.
If you don't want people to fight back against capitalism, you should be begging for unions and social democrat welfare states. But the porkies want the whole fucking pie, and that will bite them in the ass, if not from people fighting back, then with climate change. Self-destruction is inevitable.

I don't know what California bougie bubble you're living in, but things have been getting out of hand for a long time and worker movements are gaining traction in the first world. And yes, plenty of people are dying of exploitation and malnutrition.
When things are about to go out of hand, the people won't listen to your promises of petty concessions when they see the tables have turned and they can take the power. UBI was the right choice to make decades ago, you can't dangle it in front of a slavering crowd of revolutionaries - prevention is far less costly than a cure.
Capitalists really need to take a lesson from ceausescu. He tried doing lame concessions when the crowds were out for his blood, it didn't go well. And when they saw the writing on the wall, the army and all but the most loyal security services turned coat as well.

Not all workers. That's the key here. You have to carefully make compromises and appease right groups. Dividing workers and turning them against each other always works.
>When the workers realize they hold all the power, and that the bosses need them while they don't need the bosses, things become different.
Workers have no clue what's going on in the world. They will always have a very limited view because of their circumstances. They spend most of their time wageslaving and then come home to enjoy garbage entertainment churned out by Hollywood or Japan. They'll lap up any lie that can benefit them. Collective Worker Consciousness is a meme.

 No.679286

>>679199
Let me put this in terms you'll understand
See, the thing is, there'll always be a small portion of the population that reads Marx, realizes the reality of capitalist property relations and achieves class consciousness.
When things are worse, this "vanguard" is able to "redpill" more people about these realities and more people will become communist. This potential grows much higher in times where the class relations become extremely obvious even to the layman, like when they're bombarded with news stories highlighting the absurdities of capitalism. Those welfare state people and even standard liberals become radicalized.
Social democracy might have prevented this because people would be too comfortable to care about the class relations, but it can't stop it once it's already begun.
Add to this all the other contradictions of capitalism - the owners have every interest in paying less wages, but then the workers are too poor to afford the things they produce - basically all the shit the MSM has been blaming on "millennials": houses, cars, big luxury goods, families to produce more workers, etc. More workers start to become redpilled and refuse work, porkies cope with unproductive "nobody wants to work anymore" seething.
Your system is suicidal and it's going to take the rest of us with it while it dies in a hissy fit over how ungrateful we are.
>>679277
Well, now we have the internet. You wanted to get extra profits from Netflix and online stores? Good, now workers can browse r/antiwork on their phones and get radicalized in minutes.
