        Okay, since you’re not a coward, when are you going to assassinate someone? Today? Tomorrow? What are you waiting for?

                Direct action is not convenient. Building on-the-ground worker solidarity is not convenient. Building and maintaining syndicates to aid and support both those alienated- and those discarded by capital is not convenient.

                But I’m sure a keyboard warrior like you is much more knowledgeable and involved in the class war than little naive me. Please, enlighten me. What do you suggest we do to abolish capital?

                  Bro you’re german. Your white-wingers just allied with the nazis so whatever you’re doing to lead the class war is obviously not working.

        Who is “you guys”? I’m not saying the revolution was (or will be, in the future) bloodless. But to have a revolution, you need to organize, before you go out and shoot someone in the streets. To think that simply assassinating some of the worst offenders will bring about systemic change is naive, imo.

        There is an argument to be made that in the age of social media Propaganda of the Deed could make a successful comeback as a tool to build collective action (and some anarchists are making that argument), but it’s this collective action we need, not lone wolves.

        That’s not the point I’m trying to make. As one of the ‘bloodthirsty subfucks’ I’m well aware that the war likely would have started either way, all the imperial powers in Europe were eager to try out their new weaponry. But the commenter above claims that assassinations can solve structural problems. Which I don’t think is true.

            You sure know a lot about my political beliefs, huh? Check my other comment before you jump to conclusions. I don’t disagree with violence as a tactic (but I still don’t like it, and try to avoid it), but assassinations are only useful in so far as they are used to build a movement. The vindication you feel by seeing someone horrible killed will not change the system, collective action will. And that takes actual organizing, not posting Luigi memes online.

                Ah, you’re both going through my history now and exposing yourself as a shill for the modern Tsar. If you think Russian imperialism furthers the left, we can end it right here and you’ll end up on the blocklist. Have a good life!

                Also, what do you think a germanist is? lol

                  Russia is an ultra capitalist nightmare because the US coup’ed them in 1990.

                  At least before that they truely knew how to deal with the right-wingers. We lost that knowledge and now look around. Nazis everywhere
