I have been an active communist for nearly half a decade now but there’s something that just gets to me in the left wing and generally more activist adjacent spaces in general. Their stance on violence, take alt right internet users, incels, people who bully artists by putting their art through generative ai models, etc, all these groups might have to be dealt with violence after the revolution because it’s clear they won’t play ball and just be fucking silent. But people act like having a feeling to kill these people after the damage they have done to this world is somehow reactionary, people say having the feeling to kill the people who bully artists enmass, support tech oligarchs, and work for them is somehow reactionary and “radical” when that’s pure necessity of a better society, how are you going to build a revolutionary society while keeping people who will at every point try to sabotage your fledgling society is beyond me and not possible, there’s a reason gulags existed, there’s a reason great purges existed, people after death of that bastard fascist Kirk started quoting Guevara to gaslight people into thinking they’re evil for celebrating death of a fascist. “oh guevara said a revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love and you don’t feel love for person who spread hate speech md made millions off it? You’re reactionary” I fucking hate it, these people are cowards who can’t take action to protect their community if it means their peace won’t be disturbed, I want justice, when we have a revolution we can’t have people around who will try to sabotage it at every point they can so we will have to kill many
