    From what I read (yes I actually read the walls of text they post) the two weren’t exclusive. There were violent protestors during that time, and the protests in the square were minor, nonviolent, and opposed by dispersion via an announcement rather than tanks.

    I’m not sure if I believe all that, but it’s better to know what they’re actually saying, imo




  • I’m an anarchist myself, but if you try to approach their argument logically I think you’ll have a better chance of understanding why people might come to different conclusions than you.

    If the bourgeois were left to their own devices, it stands to reason they’d be back on their shit as soon as they saw a chance. In that light, an oppression of the formerly oppressive minority for the benefit of the majority (literally everyone else) might seem like a necessity.

    Based on what theory I’ve read, that and protections from external capitalist pressures are the entire reason for implementing a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong here, just that some empathy might help some leftist unity along into helping more people see things our way.
