ImOnADiet,

It does matter. this is a common thing on the far left. we view neoliberals as largely responsible for the state of the world, and people express their anger in crazy ways sometimes. I have a friend who threatens to bomb my house, he’s threatened to drive his car through my living room window, and he’s done this in the middle of yelling screaming arguments. I have never for 1 second thought he was serious, it’s a way for him to express anger in a jokey manner. The reason I don’t care about advocating for violence is because ultimately the only way for communists to come to power will be through some level of violence, the state won’t allow us to take power peacefully. what the hell is someone making some hyperbolic statement compared to actually having to use violence in the real world if the need somehow ever arises (I don’t have a lot of faith in the western left). This is normally where tankie accusations get thrown around I doubt you want to hear why I’m a marxist blahblahblah

I don’t view violence as fundamentally wrong. I abhor that it’s necessary, but advocating pure non-violence in the face of a state that has shown it will murder you with no remorse is both foolish and also ignores the violence that the status quo inflicts on the poor and minorities every single day.

Also, I’m not sure what exactly sure what you mean about you saying something negative about the far-left. I called you an anticommunist because by and large anticommunists are always pushing for lemmygrad to be defederated. The only other thing was the “im just joking” example which was just me trying to come up with an example on the spot
