    Frankly… Capitalism was born from grotesque violence. The amount of violence necessary to move from capital to socialism is justified in my view.

    The liberal demands historic forgiveness for their crimes. But they expect the socialists to be perfect and harm no one. They’re not entitled to an excuse or explanation for left wing violence or draconian measures.

      Wanna bet these people think that the violence that took us from feodalism to capitalism was somehow “leftist violence”?

        Haha. Yeah. The aristocracy was totally down and okay for the bourgoisie to take their place… Eventually. Thise dastardly liberal capitalists just wasnt patient enough and needlessly chopped off heads because they were too hasty.

            This is unironically what most Usonians believe

            Or at least any that I’ve heard talk about the French Revolution, which admittedly biases my sample towards those able to get published or broadcast
