Roger Kulp quotes fkalosar101: Castro shot a lot of people. He said they were murderers and probably most of them were. Then again "mistakes were [inevitably] made." But this is the third rail of revolution--you can't live with insurrection and you can't live without it and you can't have insurrection without firing squads and prison camps, especially when you are confronted by state violence, which utterly dwarfs the violence of the NRA and the rest of the sinister creeps on display in DC on 1/6and
Roger Kulp goes on to comment: I hope this comment doesn't get me banned,but should a country ever get to the point of a communist,or worker's revolution,prison camps or eradication of the capialist class may be needed.For the squeamish among you,the less violent option would be succession along idelogical parameters,one I strongly support.I would like nothing more,than to see the US broken up into multiple countries,with one nation being a dedicated communist/socialist worker's state,where the capitalist class would be banished,and their assets taken over by the state,or distributed among the working class.While many on the left disparage so-called "state capitalism",I believe state ownership of assets,like internet and energy utilities,and even food manufacturers,is preferable over private ownership. Ken Hiebert replies: I thought it was perhaps wise to let the comment by fkalosar101 pass. But since Roger Kulp has commented, I’ll add my own. First, I have no idea who fkalosar101 is and I won’t be surprised to learn that no one on the list knows who he or she is. It seems to me that the comment was posted will ill intent, for the purpose of discrediting and isolating this list. And in response to Roger Kulp, whatever the original history of the Russian Revolution, it is fair to say that Stalinist repression fell heavily on workers and peasants. Is there anyone else on the planet who killed more Communists? Never mind the majority of the Bolshevik Central Committee of 1917. Even the majority of delegates to the 1934 congress of the CPSU fell afoul of Stalin in one way or another. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
