Communist Revolution in Canada?

[Ben Kenobi]

Somehow I highly doubt the majority of Capitalists are out to kill the Communists

Yeah, the Capitalists are too busy selling the communists guns.

Flippant, perhaps, but any comment is fair game.

Even the one where I invited Ted to roast marshmallows by the light of burning Republicans?

Great, That means Bill gates has allready assimilated all groups more productive and useful that the sticking French-Cannuck commies. After them what is next down the list? The association of telephone sanitizers?

History. Capitalists have been killing the workers for standing up for themselves since there have been capitalists and workers. Every workers' revolt has been met by massacre and bloodshed. It goes back centuries. The worst, of course, was the Russian Civil War, where the capitalists killed millions, and even started the bloodshed in an otherwise bloodless revolution, with the massacre of 500 Reds in Moscow who had surrendered to them.

This is where Communism was defeated, not in 1989. By breaking the revolution, by beating it down and maiming it, but not killing it off, it ensured the dream became a nightmare. Just to stay alive, it became a monster. Communism became it's opposite, but only because of capitalist violence.

If we were to vote in socialism, and I mean real socialism, and not welfare capitalism, the capitalists would revolt, and the workers would be forced to defend themselves with violence.

Usually it doesn't come to that, because either the socialists back down or the capitalists launch a pre-emptive strike, before the socialists can get powerful enough to legally assume power. That's when communist revolution comes to be on the agenda.

I would not be supprised if communits actually hold the record for workers killed/time existed. Pretty sure Mao clinched it all by himself.

And of couse communists are in to killing pretty much anyone.

i love it, according to che the reason communism always sucks donkey balls is becuase of the capitalists

[Ninot]

I thought that according to Marxism, the communist revolution is inevitable.

If Capitalism can easily hold it down by killing a few of its members in the early stages, then that seems contradictory.

[Kontiki]

No, we greedy capitalists are forcefully keeping the economic system that everyone wants down by forcing all but 1% of the voters to cast their ballots for non-communist parties.

Yes. So worrying about communists killing people is besides the point. The real question is whether such a revolution would be largely peaceful. Past experience suggests not. Then again, capitalism is in its way better than the aristocracy, and we have capitalism largely because of violent revolution.

Look, correct me if I'm wrong here but, since when is Canadian soceity ANYTHING like pre-civil war Russia? The fact is, Canada is so much more liberal and modern than any country back in the 20th or 19th century, that it's not even comparable. And nevermind the Communist pseud-Fascist all throughout the world that have caused the deaths of MILLIONS. I find it hard to believe that the Communist regimes killed no Capitalists during their takovers.

Every once and awhile they take a short break from killing workers for their own good to off a few capitalists for forms sake.

Yeah, I remembered as soon as I left the library. This is in the wrong thread. Oh well.

The difference between Hitler and Stalin is the difference between losing your child to a drunk driver and losing him / her to a child molester-murderer. Both are absolutely horrible, and in both cases, the killer is absolutely responsible. But one is far worse.

I'd like to argue that being sent to work in Siberia, having little to no food at all, and then being shot when you lose your ability to work is very close to what the Nazis did in most of their time as leaders.

[Ninot]

so which one is which?

is Hitler the mollester, or the drunk driver?
