Great take. We must ask ourselves: what happens the day after the revolution?

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Nice.
To idle along nicely, we need to reach about 800 revolutions per minute. So we need to increase our number of revolutions by about x1,100,000
(And I realise now I've inadvertently worked out that if I left my car idling for 24 hours, the engine would go through over 1.1million revolutions. Cool!)
Really, if there is a sudden turning point, where Eat The Rich becomes common thought, how long does it last? Is it over in a few days? Is it a literal class war going on for years? If the bottom 50 decides to take out the top 5, how long can it go on for?
Check out the Russian revolution. The extremists will put the moderate revolutionaries in the gulag or shoot them.
It's all a crab bucket in a crab bucket in a crab bucket in a... aw, fuckit.

Hate to say it, but I'd argue that this particular leftist sub-group can be ever worse than Christians. At least on paper, Christians are supposed to want to convert sinners and non-believers, and are supposed to work to do outreach to help people explicitly undeserving. The Christian enemy of the devil is effectively an abstract. Yes, there's the anti-lgbt+ bigots, but in my experience they are a minority despite their incessant loudness and overwhelming presence in the public eye.
This particular revolution worshipping sub-group of leftists though? They appear to overwhelmingly just want death and suffering for their "enemies". They have no plans to attempt to convert people and many are actively against even trying.
I can't tell you how much heat I've taken for suggesting that (at best) ignoring all the fuckers that voted for Trump and not trying to find any way to build relationships so you can turn them is a losing strategy.
It makes me sick that so very many people see violent and complete revolution where somehow they never have to deal with opposition voices ever again afterwards (read: purges and re-education camps, ideas I've seen positive unironic support for from this group a shocking amount) as a more viable and desiriable outcome than trying to understand and care for their misguided neighbors and family so they can turn them.
Just because your plan isn't technically genocide due to it falling on lines of political ideology doesn't make it less completely fucked in the head and reprehensible.
If your wishes for the future include "We have to be baddies so we can completely erase the worse baddies from existence and make our utopia" then I strongly suggest you need to reevaluate just about fucking everything in your life and ideals.
That's why they narrowed it to evangelical Christians. There is still your argument that they will try to convert you first, but boy if you don't, it's the same hate. I'd say the leftist hate is at least honest and doesn't try to camouflage it with "love the sinner" lies and cherrypicking from a guide book.
Leftists cherry pick from holy scripture aka. theory ad nauseam to build arguments to support any inhumane action.
The Christian „love the sinner“, „love your enemies“ is different. There you only need to profess your faith to be accepted in the community. Then afterwards the reeducation/indoctrination/conversion happens over time.
With tankies you go to gulag/reeducation/indoctrination first, and if you survive that you can maybe become a comrade. You will never join the party though. You remain irredeemable and a suspect counterrevolutionary.
You mean, the paper that was inked to "allow" divorce & execution of a certain Anglo king's wives, or the "original" low-effort patchwork plagiarism of any/all folklore the ruling class could scrape together? Either way, that's some ironclad foundational document, there. 😝🤌🏼

This leftist believes we are already dead and this is hell.
It's hell all the way down.
Zen makes no sense and all the sense simultaneously, the more you look/don't look at it.

And not a single one is doing anything to actually revolt, just sitting online talking shit on people who are actively doing things because "incrementalism is useless, we need a revolution".
Sorry creating lemmy isn't starting the revolution, getting together a small amount of people online to talk about a parallel societal formation isn't starting a revolution, being civically inactive is not starting a revolution, buying a bunch of guns is not starting a revolution, talking about moving away from corporate tracking tools is not starting a revolution, switching from US to Chinese propaganda is not starting a revolution. As lame as all the gravy seal militias in the US are, they are numerous steps ahead on the starting of a revolution.
The Antichrist walks among us, wearing a spray tan and a toupee. We must use our second amendment rights to throw off our oppressors and create the kingdom of Elohim on earth.
Shittiest MadLibs reboot ever.
I've been saying this for a long time now. All the "moral" principles that people supposedly just have are actually derived from christian thoughts that have pervaded society for centuries. All the supposedly secular and "ethical" concepts are actually just christian concepts without the brand name "christian".
What you've got there is a tankie
Dear God, the Tankies are fundies!
Well, Marx’ withering away of the state and the rise of Communism was basically the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
"A stateless utopia birthed from the continual consolidation of power in a proletariat dictatorship" gives the same vibes as trickle down economics.
Hmm... Floating into the sky which is also where a magical land exists with an all knowing, benevolent supreme being or equality and fair treatment for all peoples... Yeah those are the same.
