    The SRs did this for nearly a century in czarist Russia and it didn’t bring them any closer to revolution. By the 1910s they made being a minister for the Czar a legitimately dangerous profession, if anything it made the regime more reactionary and made them beef up the police state.

        The main cause for the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 was the governments failure to handle the war. No one was striking or in the streets because an SR killed another minister

          Main cause perhaps in 1917. But not only cause. You cant pretend that SR activity didn’t have an impact.

      A thing that didn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future by learning from the mistakes of the past.

      But go on, keep telling me how much you love billionaires, and capitalism.

        Never said I love billionaires and capitalism, just saying there are better ways to fight them then assassinations. It’s trying to solve a systemic problem with an individualistic solution.

        We need to organize and unite to defeat the capitalists, if people rally around a dead oligarch then that can be good, but if it alienates people due to the inevitable collateral damage then that’s bad for the cause.

        Either way though the main challenge is building solidarity and there are safer ways to do this with more mass appeal, albeit less drama, then assassinations.

          Look, I’m gonna stop you with that “organize” bullshit. It is very clear you’re a fucking fed who wants to lead everyone on with hopes and dreams and thoughts and prayers. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. I don’t know how you sleep at night. I hope your children never find out that disgusting things you’re doing in support of capitalism.

          Organizing. Solidarity. What fucking jokes. It is immensely clear what side you’re on and it is not mine.

          Kindly fuck off and die. Kisses.

            Idk if this is sarcasm but you clearly don’t know the FBI if you think they’d be discouraging assassinations. They’d track your IP and gas you up as much as they could to build incriminating evidence to show that they caught a dangerous left wing terrorist.
