πIf you donβt suppress the inevitable imperial-supported bourgeois counterinsurgencies, your socialist project will go the way of Allendeβs Chile.
What a loser-ass mentality. It's absolutely possible to remain just and free while being secure. Skill issue.
Point me to one single socialist revolution that wasn't immediately attacked by capital. Just one. You can't.
Name one single socialist revolution that didn't start as a violent dictatorship. You can't.
The USSR, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. all were massive expansions on democracy and working class control. Capitalists, landlords, fascists, monarchists, etc were (usually) violently oppressed, while the working classes were uplifted and society was democratized. From the point of view of the capitalists, they found themselves living in a violent dictatorship, for the working classes they found themselves finally escaping violent dictatorship.
Lol stay stupid patriot
What do you mean patriot?
exarcheia, and the Paris commune
Those being anarchists, not socialists. There have been shitloads of anarchist communes working perfectly, until some external force fucks them up or reclaims the land or whatever.
I asked specifically for socialist ones.
And you were given a dozen that you ignored
Not really, I'm reading more about them, aside from the USSR and Cuba I'm not that familiar aside from some general knowledge in them. Neither Cuba nor the USSR I would consider free. Just is debatable, but I can see the point. But I should probably read more about the rest of the examples

anarchism is socialist. it's often called libertarian socialist.
