      Not every revolution has to be an Marxist-Leninist revolution. Nor is the world the same. Not to mention that Capitalism is killing millions per month right now. You’re perfectly content to let Capitalism crush millions right now to maintain the benefits you have so you’re just a hypocrite on top of being intellectually dishonest by presuming every revolution will lead to totalitarianism.

        When did I say that?

        I think changing the system into something better sounds like a great idea. I’m being a hypocrite about it because I haven’t really done shit in an activist sense; that part is accurate. But if you ask me what I want, I want the system to change into something better. I don’t want it to change into something worse. How does that translate into me being perfectly content with the current system?

        presuming every revolution will lead to totalitarianism

        There’s a reasonable middle ground between “let’s ignore the history of the outcome of this strategy and assume it’ll be fine” and “every revolution will lead to totalitarianism, I’m content with the current system.” I am definitely not saying the second one, although I can get where it might have sounded like I was. In my opinion the truth lies somewhere between those two extremes.

      You just send me on a rabbithole and Til

      A part of the movement who’s nain motive was to maintain communism apparently included the creation of social classes…

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Black_Categories

      “Members of the Black Classes were systematically discriminated against, as one’s classification could affect employment opportunities and career prospects and even marriage opportunities. This could also be passed onto their children. Over time this resulted in a victimized underclass that was treated as if it were still composed of powerful and dominant people”

      Literally facism… of course to some this was already apparent but with this information bring public its baffeling that so many still believe china is political left.

        The groups were:[1][2][3]

        • Landlords (地主; dìzhǔ)
        • Rich farmers (富农; fùnóng)
        • Counter-revolutionaries (反革命; fǎngémìng)
        • Bad influencers [“bad elements”] (坏分子; huàifènzǐ)
        • Right-wingers (右派; yòupài)

        The French revolution claimed all men were created equal yet oppressed the noble clergy classes.
