Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism. Strict ideological conformity is required or you’ll get actual death threats. Don’t go there unless you want violent communist revolution and hate discussing interesting ideas.
I mean, it doesn’t have to be violent but beggars can’t be choosers.
“The very concept of “revolutionary violence” is somewhat falsely cast, since most of the violence comes from those who attempt to prevent reform, not from those struggling for reform. By focusing on the violent rebellions of the downtrodden, we overlook the much greater repressive force and violence utilized by the ruling oligarchs to maintain the status quo, including armed attacks against peaceful demonstrations, mass arrests, torture, destruction of opposition organizations, suppression of dissident publications, death squad assassinations, the extermination of whole villages, and the like.”

Also violence got us civil rights and the 5 day work week
If it isn’t going to be violent what do you intend to do with all the fascists and counter revolutionaries? Putting them in prisons will require violence. You gonna just leave them out there doing their thing?
Tbf they are the ones that force it to be violent, our side would be happy with a peaceful revolution and to end violence forever. Only the fascists get off on the violent parts
