Communism and Violence

Hey Comrades!
Pretty new to this forum and site, but I have a question. What are your feelings towards violence and Communism? Do you believe that it is the only thing that can break through the barrier of Capitalism? Or do you think that Revolution can only be brought about through non-violent practises?

 

Violence begets violence.

 

Violence as of now is the only thing that will bring about any meaningful change. Any peaceful movement is a waste of time.

 

I am usually a very peaceful person, but even i have to say that there are times such as these where shit has to get fucked up to get anyone's attention or get anything changed.

 

If you say so...

 

lets just sit pretty and ask nicely; that's been working great so far, right?

 

You would be surprised of the power of giving love for hate.

 

There is no such thing as peaceful communism, in it's history it has only brought genocide and suffering. That is one reason why it doesn't work.

 

I agree.

 

And, why is that?



What about Ghandi?


Violence is exactly how they WANT you to react, for that is what they know, and they are capable of dealing with you.


When you stoop down to their level, you just get taken the fuck out.


You get hate when you give hate.

You get violence when you give violence.

Is that really the cycle you wish to perpetuate?


Show them love, and they will be bewildered!

 

What about him?

 

Hm, I knew you would say that.



He gained independence for India through peaceful resistance.


Violence never really solves anything.

It just puts blood on your hands and those of your children.


Isn't there enough blood already?

 

I think there were a lot of systemic factors into play that made Indian independence possible. There were other colonies that gained independence violently during the same period.

 

Excuses, excuses.


Violence creates more problems than it solves.


Dead people, for starters.

 

I feel good!

 

Oh, and did you see this part?

Your thoughts?

 

I feel good! Anyway, discussing it over the internet does no one anything.

 

Yes it does.


It spreads knowledge.


Knowledge is power.

 

:cheers2:

 

So, let's discuss!


Why do you think violence is the answer?
