Mandela led the ANC, hardly a peaceful movement. Heard of necklacing?

I'm so glad you know nothing about Mandela's leadership.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union came paired with a shelling of parliament.

Do you not understand what the attempted coup was for, or who it was by? Hardliners trying to keep the Soviet Union together.

Jesus Christ. Utter tankie delusion.

The ousting of Pinochet involved assassination attempts on Pinochet.

Oh, is that what led to the referendum? A head of state having what every major head of state has to deal with?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Mentioning Ghandi and pretending the uprising of 1857, which inspired and propelled forward the movement for independence (including Ghandi), never happened is deeply dishonest, and disrespectful to those who gave their lives for the cause.

...

MLK jr., much like Ghandi, was paired with violent methods as well. Ignoring their contributions is ahistorical.

And ignoring the contributions of the moral persuasion that MLK Jr. pursued, instead pretending like some edgelord fascist that only violence creates change, is ahistorical.

The difference is that I don't deny that violence creates change. I only pointed out that moral persuasion can too.

I’m assuming you’re using “etc etc etc” (etc) to mean “I can’t think of any other examples, erroneous or otherwise”, so I’ll do the same:

I'm sorry, how many examples do you want before the principle is established?

Oh, what am I saying? It would always need to be just one more, because what you're interested in its validating your own bizarre red fascist worldview, not reality.
