we view neoliberals as largely responsible for the state of the world

Sure, and some Nazi blames the Jewish people for all the wrongs in the world. Does that mean that it’s justified if a Nazi says all Jewish people should be shot in the head?

The reason I don’t care about advocating for violence is because ultimately the only way for communists to come to power

And this doesn’t start your spider sense tingling that maybe you’re on the wrong side of things? Holy shit, do you do even half a minute of introspection? I’m sure fascists would say the same thing. Are they also justified in violence?

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.

Do you think it’s wrong that the ““status quo”” uses violence? After all, you don’t view it as fundamentally wrong, right? So it’s not fundamentally wrong when it’s used against you, either?

Also, I’m not sure what exactly sure what you mean about you saying something negative about the far-left.

You set up a straw man about so called “ebil tankies” that I never said or even implied, to justify advocating for violence.

Here’s the kicker. Take everything you said, and then look at it and tell me if I personally deserve violence. I’m generally capitalist (democratic socialist is just capitalism light). You seem to imply you have no choice but violence against me. Is this truly how feel, or is all this simply to justify some stranger getting upvoted when they advocate violence, so you don’t have to admit your instance is toxic?
