You don't need guns to make a revolution. In fact, guns make the worst type of revolution, one that leads to civil war. So if your type of leftism cares about wellbeing of your fellow humans, you would like to avoid a civil war by all means.
A person having a rifle was a threat to power, when power also meant people with rifles, not anymore. The power will thrive in a civil war scenario
Must be nice living in fantasy land
Said a man dreaming of shooting your way into power. I'm actually glad you never go beyound your stupid little larp.
You are extremely inane and lack understanding of the world you live in. I am going to block you because there is zero chance you are ever going to contribute anything to my lemmy experience. I suggest you go to lemmy.world/settings and locate this button
Everyone knows the best revolutions are ones where the powers that be are simply convinced to give up their power by facts and logic, like what happened with women's suffrage, or civil rights, or gay rights. No guns or violence involved with those!
Every fucking time I for some reason think I can have a serious conversation here, someone hits me with shit like that. Why do I even bother.
They have a point, all real gains for the working classes have come through violence or the threat of violence.
well then, show us any revolution that didn't used guns to be accomplished
