    Okay sure, so what examples do you have of a successful modern revolution?

    Bonus points if you can name one where the winners didn’t just immediately change the rules and continue fucking over the little guy.

    Another bonus point if you can name an example where a revolution didn’t result in disproportionate civilian deaths relative to the ‘bad guys’.

    Then again, maybe you’re one of those ‘the end justifies the means’ kind of guys, who fantasizes about saving the rest of us by way of firing squad. If that’s the case, I’ll expect you to be on the front line to fight the government funded military force that shows up.

    Or maybe, just maybe you’re another lame ass tankie who talks a big game, but would piss their pants if someone so much as gave you a dirty look IRL.

      Soviet revolution in Russia, Revolution in China, in Cuba, in Vietnam, in Laos, in Nicaragua, just to name a few.

      Bonus points if you can name one where the winners didn’t just immediately change the rules and continue fucking over the little guy.

      None of the above examples did anything of the sort as anybody with even a modicum of historical literacy knows.

      Another bonus point if you can name an example where a revolution didn’t result in disproportionate civilian deaths relative to the ‘bad guys’.

      Define what’s disproportionate and how you decide on what’s proportionate.

      Then again, maybe you’re one of those ‘the end justifies the means’ kind of guys, who fantasizes about saving the rest of us by way of firing squad. If that’s the case, I’ll expect you to be on the front line to fight the government funded military force that shows up.

      Then again, maybe you’re one of those people who are benefiting from capitalism and don’t care about the suffering of other people as long as you got yours.

      Or maybe, just maybe you’re another lame ass tankie who talks a big game, but would piss their pants if someone so much as gave you a dirty look IRL.

      Or maybe, just maybe you’re an ignorant dronie who is as illiterate as you’re ignorant.
