This is the most Reddit Mod shit I’ve seen in years. Do you ever take a moment for self reflection?

Do you genuinely understand what you’re calling for here? It will not be a bloodless revolution, and a lot of people are going to get hurt, imprisoned, or killed resisting the establishment. Because the establishment will resort to violence to break up labor strikes and try to force people back to work, as we’ve seen several times in the US (let alone elsewhere.)

If you’re okay with that, then why are you moderating some random lemmy sub instead of being on the front lines? You’re preparing to fight and kill for the revolution but you still got time to go on power trips on the internet?

You believe that the ends justify the means, and you might even be right. Reform is a delaying tactic, not a solution. But who the fuck wants to pay that butcher’s bill? You?

Reform is a dead end, but the alternative is to start a fucking war and leave thousands dead and millions displaced, if the asymmetric warfare of the 21st century is anything to go by. Who’s willing to pay that butcher’s bill? Who even can? Even if you start with nonviolent means, like a general labor strike or civil disobedience, the establishment will introduce violence in an attempt to force people back to work.

Like, it’s all great to read Marx, think dude had some pretty good ideas and want to make them reality, but how do you get there?

So then what’s your plan? Marx is pretty explicit about needing to violently overthrow the establishment in order to usher in the revolution.

So go ahead, big guy. Go get your rifle and start bringing in that revolution. We’ll be right behind you, pinky swear!

Or maybe we could try the “not a violent lunatic” route?

Democrats aren’t fascist, but they’re okay with having fascists in charge if it keeps the lefties away. It’s like the Nazi bar analogy.

Well Harris lost because Biden and the establishment made her fight with her arms tied. Remember how popular Walz was in social media for a couple weeks, then he fucking vanished? He was popular because he was saying stuff that the establishment didn’t like hearing.

Voting in every election. Your city councilors and state legislature critters have far more direct impact on your life than Washington does, and it’s a way for candidates to get practical experience before going for a federal position. Hell, run for office yourself! We’re seeing constant proof that intelligence and education aren’t requirements to be elected, so people telling themselves they don’t have what it takes are lying to themselves.

It showed you that a neoliberal political machine prefers candidates that aren’t gonna rock the boat? Was that somehow surprising?

But yeah Hilldawg’s campaign strategy consisted of “I show up and am handed a crown.”

That’s not your position, but it’s evident in every statement you’ve made. So it is your position, you’re just not aware it is.

Like, you just assume you’re speaking to liberals.
