i wouldn't be trying to will socialism into existence, though, i'd just be having a little fun :3

i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.

but yes you're right, i'm willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i'm right, and i'm not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.

i wouldn't be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it's the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.

i'm not an old man and i'd love to nap every day

i still think you're assuming what my actual, real-life views are from a silly what-if scenario! i am never gonna be in control of anything more powerful than a barbeque.

but if somehow i got to mind control the president or something, yes, i'd take advantage of that brief control to eliminate as many capitalists as possible

i'm not going to get into a debate about it, because i have better things to do, sorry.

i would agree that the USSR was socialist, but very quickly stopped being so, and now it is capitalist. that's not what i call a success.

any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.

they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.

now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism

yeah you're not a leftist, you have no fucking idea what fascism is if you think what i wrote was fascistic, lmfao

violence against oppressors isn't fascism, it's justice.

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

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

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?

you see? this is why we didn't want redditors to come to lemmy to begin with. you brought the fucking astroturf campaign with you.
