A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another

Because your question was loaded and intellectually dishonest

Lenin and the October Revolution succeeded largely due to just how nightmarish the Tsars were, and after the Soviet Union fell, well, just look at the nightmare that is Russia today. Many Russians want to go back to communism because it ended up being the best time their country had known, quality of life wise.

yes, it had its problems, and the Soviet Union did a lot of bad poo poo, but you're almost certainly posting this from America, and if so, well then uh lol 😂 this motherfucker 😂

as if people aren't riled up enough about racism and xenophobia in America ITYOOL 2017

"go vote!!!" How can you when there's systemic corruption in the voting process that's so blatant now by means of gerrymandering and suppression, sure is breeding contempt and distrust like a fuel canister on an open flame :thumbsup:

At first I expected false equivocation with Seattle's Lenin statue on private land, then I read further and thought it was all right, then I got to


I think that changing the name of a Jefferson Davis Building on campus is just as important as tearing down these statues. You don't pass by the physical presence of someone that was important to the Confederacy, but you have to refer to the building while discussing how to get from A to B. That keeps the memory alive as much, if not more, than the statue. People that are infamous for their acts of hate deserve even less recognition in our daily lives than the relative nobodies of history, like President Chester Arthur. But sure, call people who are protesting it "silly" so you can keep looking down from your high horse.

Maybe I should try to cobble together something that's at least a page and see if I can get any anonymous op-eds submitted to any newspapers in lieu of these scrawls that are only accepted because they're from a former president's adult child.

I don't think the middle can, by definition, be edgy unless you are referring to a very narrow middle like something balanced on top of the spine of a book.

if changing a building name doesnt matter, chelsea, lets change all the bill gate buildings at UW and see if he cares

its not

people are looking for the mattering to document it instead of igniting a cataclysmic thing, they also want the mattering to be context specific, like the US functioning again, but thats just a perception issue because everything is flawed.

its like watching the embers die out because you're too busy filming how pretty and fragile it is much like life instead of fanning it~

just saying that theres more poo poo hitting the fan at a constant high velocity that eventually the fan's just gonna stop working altogether, like maybe the decline of the American superpower, at that point, that shits gonna be carved up

full balkanization now :unsmigghh:

like why be united with racists and supremecists and robber barrons in the ranks? people dont want to excise this tumor, so just cut them out and leave them to rot in their confederate nation state or obliterate them, there's no half measure here.

What? No, sorry, let me rephrase that: what? :psyduck:

I don't recall the civil Rights movement getting all that much help from free speech, and even expressly nonviolent civil rights leaders like MLK faced both legal and illegal government suppression on a regular basis. Civil disobedience - engaging in their protest actions whether they were legal or not - was a key part of the nonviolent civil rights movement. MLK spent time in the Birmingham jail (where he wrote a certain famous letter) because he violated a court order that essentially said he had to stop protesting in Birmingham - and yes, that conviction was later appealed to the Supreme Court, which upheld it. To say that the civil rights movement was helped by or dependent on free speech requires a special level of ignorance, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how many people think all the black people just lined up and asked nicely for their basic Constitutional rights.

The fight for civil rights continues until this day. Notice I said post 1960s.

Edit: also, for what it is worth, see for example Gibson v. FLIC
