I don’t oppose the state in the abstract, I don’t oppose violence in the abstract, I don’t oppose tyranny in the abstract, I oppose capitalism above all, and my heroes are those who have devoted their lives to building an alternative and crushing capital. Its an ugly business, my heroes all have bloody hands.

(Ummmm yikes #like—.#this is exactly what ppl say when defending Obama lmao)

except obama is a neoliberal who bloodies his hands in the name of capital, not in the name of liberation— identifying that both reformists and revolutionaries share a non-utopia quasi-utilitarian framing for violence, does not in fact prove that they are alike in their goals or their ethical standing
