    Who are we to stop the masses if they wish to exact revolutionary vengeance upon someone like Bezos and all the other millions of bootlickers and fascists? If they decide to fight and hence destroy the lives of these millions, will you support such actions or denounce them?

      Nah, I getchu. But I think that left-deviation is a thing and that we need to be wary of it.

        Yeah. But are you going to use terms like “horrendous and asinine episode” to describe such an event if it did happen?

          Nope. But the Gang of Four were horrible. I wouldn’t want anything leading to that.

            I didn’t say anything about the gang of four though. Will you support an event in the USA which would certainly “caused terrible suffering for millions, lead to a massive brain drain with scientists, doctors, and other high level professionals escaping” and also certainly will “gave the global bourgeois powers endless ammunition to attack and demonise socialism.”

              Only if there was an absolute benefit for the working-class and oppressed at the end of it all.

                LOL. You are viewing such an event in the US the same way you view the cultural revolution: from the comfortable position of hindsight. How will you react if you see your landlord dragged out of his house and beaten on the streets before being hung up like Mussolini, the terror apparent in his eyes, his young children crying their eyes out as they plead with a group of former tenants doing the beating. What about that alt-right friend you met in high school? What if you saw him placed against a wall before someone buries a bullet in his brain? What if you saw hundreds of thousands of people like the liberal techbros in Silicon Valley fleeing alongside the likes of Ben Shapiro? All this without knowing either way whether it would benefit anyone, much less if it will be an ABSOLUTE benefit. Remember, the perpetrators of the cultural revolution at the time probably did think what they were doing was beneficial.

                  Depends. I wouldn’t want left-deviation leading the movement to a Gang of Four situation, in which the revolution could be lost. But hey, I want to see what you want to see. Just not at the expense of the revolution and Marxism-Leninism.

                    But I didn’t mention the left or any communist parties or whatever. I’m talking about violence done in raw anger, in vengeance by the masses of people themselves?

        Sure, but I will have to remind you that capitalism already kills tens of millions around the globe yearly. I’ll tell you it will not be in the least surprising to me if such killings do take place. It’s perfectly justified many times over at this point.

        Do you think the communist party ordered the deaths of landlords, or was it rather the masses themselves who took the task into their own hands?
