Everything is burning now, exclusively because capitalism. If we make a concerted push for change, and gain enough traction that violence is necessary in an attempt to maintain the status quo, WE did not introduce the violence. Also, “we’ll kill you if you try” isn’t the strong argument you think it is.

People always act like revolutionaries wake up with a murder boner and start killing , instead of acknowledging that it’s a response to extended oppression and violence from the state in the face of opposition.
