There is no such thing as a bloodless revolution.
If you mean that communists could be elected and take power peacefully in that manner, yes, that's possible. But, since the premise of my comment was "if you believe in world wide revolution" and I believe that winning elections EVERYWHERE is so unlikely as to be nearly impossible, there is an implicit suggestion of the use of force.

Ok, although I'd say that was as much a collapse as it was a revolution. But given that communism seems to think capitalism will collapse too, perhaps such a bloodless revolution would be possible.Originally posted by Azazel

Although I think Che is right - there will be those who would resist a communist revolution violently.

I just take it to be an implicit admission of impossibility. Communism would be beautiful if everyone accepted it, but it's never going to happen. *shrug*Originally posted by Arrian

What's wrong with fascism, Stefu and Che?
It's like the propensity of items to move in a vaguely downwards motion when dropped. You take up fascism, and you became an almighty pus-gargling cheese ranger even if you weren't one already. I can back this up.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment
