I'm all for restructuring of the state and economy. But when has revolution ever truly worked long term. Has it worked long-term in France? Definitely in the short-term it made some change. Did it work long term in Russia? North Korea, etc. Replacing one inflexible authority with another is only asking to repeat their mistakes.
When the argument for an ideology as it has for so many of them, boils down to "you will accept it under penalty of death". It might be that it's a bad ideology.
I'm with Marx, it should be an evolution. Not revolution. Leftists giggling over guillotine posting isn't helpful. Because it was an all too real thing, for good or bad. Realistically it makes more enemies than it could ever remove.
