However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, “by any means possible” change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I’m not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it.

Those seem like two different things to me.

Edit: TO COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, OR ANYONE ELSE CALLING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF SOCIETY

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU.

    Yep, I have no interest at all in living under a communist dictatorship. If see you’ve seen another kind of communism, please let me know what it is. I’d love to be informed about it.

    Maybe a lot more violence needs to take place before it works right.

      You could try reading literally anything people have sent you (I personally recommended three different books earlier) or you could keep up with your ahistorical vibes based analysis. Up to you champ, just know that you look goofy as shit to everyone who has actually put in the effort to educate themselves.

      PRC, Cuba, USSR, Vietnam, etc. are good examples of societies that were organized along Communist lines, and came with drastic reductions in Poverty and drastic increases in life expectancy and freedom as opposed to previous conditions.

      Maybe a lot more violence needs to take place before it works right.

      What do you mean?

      Yeah yeah, continue to spout your anti-communist propaganda. You already live in a dictatorship, you’re just to propagandized to realize it.

      The only dictatorship we want is that of the proletariat, as opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. That is, a true popular democracy.

      Maybe listen to what other people have to say and go read communist theory before saying anything you don’t know about.

      As it stands your position is not left in any stretch of the imagination.
