atomicsocialist:greaterdepths:hey look that quotes mid WWII. in the context of world war two (which was what orwell was writing it in) that statement is correct, otherwise it isn’t.You know what, those Syrian rebels ought to just lay down their arms now, same with those in Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen as well because you know, pacifism is alright when some dictator is massacring your people. It’s totally fucking okay just to stop fighting and put all your eggs in one basket, hoping that the government that keeps power by having it’s hand on the gun and finger on the button will just lay down its arms due to non-violent resistance. Don’t fucking kid yourself. Police and soldiers are there for a reason, they are the ones that you have to fight when shit goes down and whether you’re fighting the nazis or the corporate state here at home, non-violence isn’t an option. Non-violence gets you put in a death camp, non violence makes you a victimEver heard this quote summing up how fascism rises?First they came for the communists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.Then they came for the Jews,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me. -- source link
