Ardent Communist posted:I mean, the fact that the powerful have had a massive advantage in technology and organization is a longstanding obstacle of revolutionaries. Spartacus had to fight against the might of Rome, with all its legions and fleets. The secret police of Russia was regarded as a particularly efficient and bloodthirsty example. Every successful state has created an image of invincibility, which is important because that invincibility is based upon people believing it. The full power of the American war machine has been focused on the poor small country of Afghanistan, and yet still they fight. A revolution takes place in the minds of its population, as well as materially. I have to jump in here to say that while the Russian secret police had that reputation, the pre-revolutionary Okhrana were more often than not a bunch of bumbling idiots than they were effective at actually crushing dissent. And like most things in Russia at the time, they were insanely understaffed compared to the size of the country and the scale of the dissent they were supposed to manage (it's not much good arresting half a dozen revolutionaries when millions of peasants are rioting and burning down manor houses). What was actually effective at crushing dissent in Russia between 1905 and 1917 was the imposition of martial law, the use of the military to break up strikes and uprisings, and the execution of thousands of people by military courts, and the big reason why the revolution could happen in 1917 was because the entire country collapsed under the strain of trying to fight the First World War and the military didn't obey the tsar when he gave orders to do it again.

Yes, that is certainly true, but it doesn't disagree with what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that they had a reputation. The conditions for the revolution were affected by many different factors, especially discontent among the army. Do you really think that in a civil war type situation that there wouldn't be any soldiers not 100% for massacring civilian populations? The mere fact that people kept trying to start the revolution, and the conditions imposed by the authorities in hopes of preventing a revolution, are things that make a revolution more likely. I can't think of a single successful revolution that didn't follow unsuccessful ones, but that doesn't mean you should wait until conditions are perfect to launch a revolt. An unsuccessful revolution can lay the groundwork for a successful one, both as a learning experience for those that survive or at least the relatives of those that lose their lives, and for leading to the kinds of repression that alienate larger portions of the population.

infernal machines posted:the person you're quoting was very clear about not advocating violence. responsible gun ownership is nonviolent. simply by owning a firearm, and storing it safely in a locked cabinet, you will be free from predation and assault That's called game theory and it was developed by some of the smartest people to ever live. If it was wrong, it probably wouldn't be the defense strategy used by every state for the last ~100 years.

i just dont understand how anyone could be stupid enough to advocate for less gun control when we have the most obvious case study ever of why that is absolutely loving moronic in the united states "because guns are cool" is not a rebuttal

Had a dinner with a member of the police like 4 years ago. He was super into telling everyone he was getting Assault Rifle training because those "split seconds can save lives man we can't wait for swat" He got a bit tipsy and says he was sad that he didn't get a chance to fire his gun on duty yet and its really "us vs them" out there. Take away all guns. Also stop hiring loving toxic assholes.

Here is the cops' defense for why it's so mean they can't march in pride: "[It's] asking police officers to put aside part of their identity. You have to understand the police culture is all based on identity," Joe Couto, director of government relations and communications for the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, told CBC Toronto earlier this week. "The police identity ingrains itself into who you are and what you are." good, if you chose to be a hateful bigot and that's your identity than I can discriminate against you repeatedly and give no fucks
