Another hard fact: Revolutionaries usually become the very thing they fought against and are lousy leaders in the absence of a struggle. It's why many of the counties founded on revolution still act as if the struggle continues. They have lots and lots of soldiers to keep the masses in line and sacrificing for the state that supposedly is populist but is really just a dictatorship.We need international revolution and adequate protection for anarchist/socialist groups that form.It's true that no group attempting socialism has ever been allowed to exist in peace but this too is a hard fact of life on Earth you must accept. Socialism will never be allowed to flourish as long as there are still plutocrats and warhawks in the world. The power elite are like the Hydra, you cannot cut off enough heads to kill the beast of authoritarian rule.Do you realize why they failed? VIOLENCE AGAINST THEM. The paris commune? Mass violence. Ukraine Free areas? Bolsheviks. The spain anarchists? More bloodshed. Jesus, are you an idiot?If it didn't last that long it cannot be said to have worked, between infighting and external pressures all the social experiments in socialism broke down because people do not naturally live that way. The experiments only worked all because they appealed to the tribal nature of mankind rather than any kind of wise consensus on the part of the people.It worked in the past, I'm sorry if that upsets you, but other countries are realizing how fucked up the world is.
Great post.
Our native Americans ran from oppressive groups to find a land for the free. It just so happens they used tyranny on the Indians to fight the tyranny they were running from. Even Hitler noted his thought process was based on what American-Europeans did to the Native Americans.
