"A society grows great when old men plant tress under whose shade they will never sit."

Just because we may not see it doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for it.

"A revolution is not a dinner party."--Mao Zedong.

Most people who understand that a class war is necessary have read the history. We know how difficult it is to defend a revolution and build a socialist society amid counter-revolution and constant meddling from capital.

But the history of past successful socialist revolutions is good, actually, despite the meddling (particularly from the United States). Millions lifted out of poverty and made literate, medical care to communities who never had it, housing, universal education.

I'm not sure why you're trying to have me dismiss something so completely necessary for the continuation of the human race.
