My wife's a hopeless radlib, maybe demsoc. I am very open about my politics and she doesn't care for the most part. I have tried to convert her but she's got somelib hangups and can't accept the historical necessity of violence. so we mostly agree until i say some
shit, then she just sighs and calls me crazy. love herThis is almost identical to my own relationship lol. I feel this combination of people is quite common for commies
I lean more syndicalist than traditional commie but the hubs is a demsoc and yeah, that's pretty much how our political conversations go when I get "too feisty" lol
The concept both of social violence and violent maintainance of the status quo through cops, imperialism, etc. are helpful. So is a simple trolley-problem framing. The revolutionary socialist does not like violence (or in any case shouldn't), but they see it as necessary for the purpose of stopping the violence that is continuously enacted by the ruling class. If cops were beating someone to death for shits and giggles, would it be wrong to brick them or wrong to not brick them and let their victim suffer and die?
Pretty much same boat atm, at least she’s much closer to a socdem but too embedded on lib talking points and beliefs (especially economical).
