I hate these dumbass redditor types who, to make up for the fact that they're probably extremely timid in real life, sit behind their computer screen making death threats: "if I was in charge, I'd be absolutely RUTHLESS, just like Robespierre! Then mom, dad, and my high school crush who rejected me -- oops, I mean the bourgeoisie -- would see how tough I REALLY am!"
In reality, no genuine communist sheds human blood lightly. Sometimes it has to be done, but it's always a tragedy, and we don't celebrate it.
Same here. I genuinely believe every death is a tragedy, for various reasons. For bad people, I feel bad that they often had a shitty start in life, and they could have made something of themselves, but due to circumstances and really shitty choices and evil actions, they end up dead.
That being said, there are definitely lots of shitty people who belong in the dirt, and I won't feel as bad about it when they deserve it.
I don't see why you assume that they adhere to horseshoe theory. How I understood them was an attempt to call out the discrepancy between being commie while supporting a fascist regime, albeit the killing part was not tasteful, but again no worse than "the only good nazi is a dead nazi".
That’s like saying “as an anarchist how can you support the oppressed rising up if the organization is hierarchical” (not that some anarchists don’t agree with that logic, but there are also better and anti-imperialist ones that don’t). “If you’re not at your goal every step of the way are you really trying to achieve your goal?”
And then people ask me why I want to see the west frozen over, baked over, and cratered out. Ain't no salvaging liberal ghouls like that. Ain't no re-education. Just mulch 'em and move on with the rest of the actually-humane, multipolar world.
Damn, just like a microwave lasagna. The worst fate imaginable.
Can't say I really disagree though, I would rather a drop in QOL in the west leading to people getting a sense of perspective and getting rid of all these ghouls, but sadly, people in the west are probably too far gone. We'll be living in wattle and daub "mud" huts and working in the X mines for King Elon III, watching Chinese hyperjets flying overhead and insisting that our peasant lives are better because we have the freedom to work 18 hours a day.
I hear you, comrade. I can’t tolerate anymore of the west and it thinking me and my brothers and sisters are nothing but “inferior terrorist barbarians” and thinking that gives them the right to bomb as much people as they want.
