      do you think workers got rights by asking nicely?

      if factories didn’t get set on fire with the owner inside people would still be breaking their backs working 16h a day in conditions that shorten their lives by a year every month spent working, every day going deeper in dept to the company store. Oh and they asked for better conditions, they protested, they demanded, they went on strikes, but there was no way out.

      violance isn’t the answer - violance is what happens when you take away someon’s hope. And this is not a new relevation:

      Sun Tzu said ‘When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard’

      because a desperate, hopeless foe will fight to the death

        Atleast they chose a communist nation founded on the rights of the working class over Russia an ex commhnist country that is now capitalist. So it could get dumber

        More like: ‘this focus on instigating violence and ignoring all other forms of progress js so idiotic and self sabotaging, it must be foreign propaganda’. But if you insist that you as an individual are just that dumb and self sabotaging then congrats, and keep on enjoying behind the bastards and pretending that it’s actual history’.
