      And also against thousands of corrupt pieces of shit who for centuries had enjoyed power and privilege over the masses.

      A small price to lay for a better standard of living in the long term.

                I agree, but you phrased it as if living in extreme poverty under a septic ruler was all worth it, because after that it would all be better. E.g. that the Argentinians who live in squalor now are paying a ‘small price’.

                With that I don’t agree

          If theres a revolution would I not also be at potential risk of some abuse in the aftermath? So sure, its a price we all have to pay to push things forward from living under destructive systems.

            Not just abuse, it could be your life. Revolutions have a tendency to get very bloody once the distribution of power starts to take place. Often targeting former comrades who also want the reigns of power.

              Yeah I know. Im willing to take that risk because lives are already being lost today.

              But I also don’t want a system where any individual has power to seize.
