A dialog on the hypocrisy of nonviolence

A comrade comments:

"My biggest concern is that human beings seem to escalate every minor disagreement to a "fight to the death". All sides claim the ultimate justification to murder anyone on the other side who would oppose them. This predilection to such violence is only the surface of the core flaw in human thinking: that for one idea to exist, it must kill all other ideas. This deeply-rooted character flaw will leave the human species extinct."

My response fellows:

These disagreements are not minor.

They are the day to day battles of an overall class war. Capitalists fund and organize these many different little groups surreptitiously to create an environment of terror, test their recruits and to create denials of responsibility. Hitler started his career in this fashion.

Only when the crisis gets to large for the capitalists to handle with his traditional institutions of class repression does he promote the most talented in his stable of mercenaries and give the reins of repression to him.

So you see everything eventually gets "outsourced", Ha,Ha!! as an outsourced former software engineer I find this rather amusing.

Regarding violence, nobody who passes a homeless person on the streets should give himself the right of to pontificate against violence.

We can do no greater violence to a fellow human being that is suffering horribly every second of his life then to ignore them. Not that throwing a dollar at them is anything less than humiliating.

There are all kinds of violence that we ignore. All the kowtowing that we do to people who are more powerful to us.

The terrors of losing our jobs, the hunger of our children, etc...

We accept the monopoly of violence of the capitalists every day, whether that of the public or private police, armies both public and private.

Yet the second we stop turning the other cheek being struck again and again, this is when discussions of the evils of violence begins.

It is better that we stop this hypocritical discussion once and for all until after the revolution is complete and all classes destroyed.

We have not left the evolutionary jungle yet. The nonviolence that you seek should not be just an local condition of one's particular oasis.

All of us our stained with all the brutality and mayhem of the Imperialist system. Unless you are a homeless beggar who contributes nothing to the global system of transaction processing and commodity production.

Only the beggar can claim innocence. The rest of us contribute every single day of our working lives. Not just in the commodities we produce, but in the taxes we pay.

Perhaps you are that other class of innocents, the citizen who refuses to pay his taxes and become the prisoner who refuses to work. Then you would be my hero.

Please do not take this personally. I do reach these standards of heroism either. I wish I was that kind of man.

While we are in the jungle we must obey the evolutionary rules. One of which is violence.

The only way to escape the jungle is to escape the requirement of laboring for reproduction. For as long as we have to labor we are forced into the division of labor processes. Our individuality becomes a slave to our efficient functioning as a part of an overall machine, that we have the arrogance of calling a society.

This is why we Marxists revolutionaries seek both to construct and fight for a classless society and developed the automation necessary to free us to be actual individuals.

As long as we have to be in this or that profession, we remain pseudo individuals and semi conscious.

We must surrender the egotism of individuality. Assuming the goal does not make it real.

PS: The Earth has another couple billion years. Plenty of time for another species to learn from our mistakes. So there is no reason to despair.
