Well, I’ll give you some nuance then: You’re right. A revolution is not going to be bloodless. Use of force requires moral compromises, and we probably won’t get there with our hands clean. But: I think there’s a big, significant difference between the contradictions we struggle to navigate as we strive to build a world without masters, and the cynical, foolish choice to deliberately hand unchecked power to masters we believe will wield it in our favor. Put another way, I can tolerate grey areas we’re reluctantly forced into if our goals are anti-authoritarian, because I believe that such a project would have a good chance of reigning in those excesses. But if we accept and embrace domination from the start, the outcome is inevitably that we all wind up under a boot. Does that make sense?
