    They couldn’t even give up their slaves, give black people rights without blood, you think they’ll allow their power to be taken peacefully?

    Do you think we have no blood now? That homeless aren’t dying in the winter, that CEOs aren’t denying 90 percent of claims?

    Communists are not the reason capitalism is failing.

    You sarcastically suggested that communists are "destroying the building before anything can get built," right? Maybe I misunderstood and the building is actually some nebulous "progressive movement," rather than capitalism itself. In that case, sorry for misunderstanding, but it's still a bad point IMO. Communists attacking social democracy as ineffective isn't destroying the movement, it's trying to push people towards more effective practice.

    Why will there be no revolution? Is a Civil War not also a class conflict?

    Destroying which building? A building that facilitates taking the spoils of imperialism? A building that exploits poverty for the sake of shareholders, resulting in, by some estimates, 200,000 deaths every year? A building that enacts more violence than it would take to deatroy?

    Yes, definitely destroy it before it gets built. That's hardly a question.
