“We’ve tried non-violently pressuring people into violence so that they can die for our beliefs and it hasn’t changed anything for the better in a century. Therefore, non-violence doesn’t work.”
Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to engage in actual leftist activities. And unlike tankies and accelerationists circlejerking over “theory” and only the minimum to explicitly make the lives of vulnerable people worse (because their religion says that this will magically ignite class consciousness), I prefer to engage with my community and volunteer to help those in need. Seems the lot conveniently forget the “act” part of “think globally, act locally”, and are just happy to pretend that you’re “fighting The Man” while doing fuck all to actually improve the human condition and push things to the Left.
“Non-violence doesn’t do anything” - well, put up and take action to prove it or shut the fuck up while the adults talk and try to avoid unnecessary deaths of working class people who tankies really don’t give a shit about.

Is, I think, what this boils down to.
Noone is stopping you from continuing to do nothing.
