Was there a single Communist revolution that didn't involve thousands being massacred or imprisoned over petty ideological differences?

Well you had Chile.

Until the Americans massacred thousands of communists for democratically electing a communist.

Right because it's not like the same thing happened at the dawn of liberalism…

Pro tip: revolutions lead to instability. Instability leads to conflict. Conflict leads to death.

Instability leads to revolutions

God bless America.

This is bait.

He turned a little crazy but it was way better than the monarchists

At least he was a good general, not gonna lie.

But nothing beats Robespierre tbh

And a lot of Chileans still think Pinochet improved the country and did them a favor.

Chile is the most successful experiment of the US.

This is what's called a vicious cycle.

Nothing to see here.

COMMIES KILL GAZILIONS!


Constant Revolution?


Like Spain and Franco or Greece and Papadopoulos.

...

Feudalism was birthed by the bloody destruction of classical slave society embodied in the Roman Empire.

Capitalism was birthed by the bloody destruction of the feudal order in the English Civil War and the French Revolution.

Communism will be brought about by the bloody destruction of the capitalist order.

This is how things work in the real world.

Spot the counterrevolutionary

Maybe he was referring to how tankies and anarkiddies are constantly at each other's throats like in Spain.

Yeah, that's where I was going. Many Chileans don't care tens of thousands died because le spooky commies and muh economy, even though Pinochet fucked it even further.

HURRRR

That's true.

...

ftfy

there's literally nothing wrong with purging counter-revolutionaries

Forcing people to serve a new social order generally requires force yea
But any ideology could be forced on people without them wanting it, resulting in mass murder

Cubans are better off than Chileans lol

...

Interesting piece of thread-related trivia, Patriots during the American Revolution went around committing mass acts of terrorism against Loyalists, killing civilians (including women and children), burning crops, mass rape, mass repression, etc.

It turns out that violent political upheaval literally always leads to these kinds of attrocities, even when it's OP's precious liberals doing it…

Algeria.

The difference is it stops at some point when the liberals are doing it.

...

You mean like it stopped in most socialist states?

I mean sure most of them were pretty authoritarian but there weren't "thousands being imprisoned or massacred over petty ideological differences".

Revolution is the war of liberty against it's enemies.

Counter-revolutionaries need to be purged in the revolutionary terror.
