To Moralists

To all you Bourgeois moralists out there: Revolutionary change inevitably brings casualties! They are necessary! Seriously, Terror, Civil War, utter cleansing of all elements of Class, the Revolutionary transformation of the legal system, and the uprooting of the old established society, this will bring casualties! Hundreds of thousands, millions, maybe tens of millions will have to die! It is necessary! A Revolution cannot be made without blood! And not just a little blood, but rivers, oceans of blood! And it is necessary! You see, there is a fundamental difference between casualties caused by Capitalistic Imperialism and those caused by Revolutionary Change: Capitalist Imperialism kills off millions of people because it wants access to oil, or because it finds it advantageous to have a military base in the area, or because the leader of a certain nation does not obey the West, or simply because it wants to close a deal. Essentially, it kills off millions of people for profit and for money. We may have to sacrifice large numbers of people too, but here is the difference: we, unlike most who use this claim, really do carry this out FOR THE GOOD OF THE HUMAN RACE AND A BRILLIANT FUTURE! Capitalism cannot bring this, we can. But people will have to be sacrificed, great numbers of people will have to die. But to die so that the people may own everything, so that the tyranny of money is abolished, so that exploitation is abolished, so that all war may end, so that all across the world will be treated equally and well; surely this is a better cause to die for than a few tons of oil, or a military base, or the ‘National Interest’. Never trade humanity for patriotism! Some of the most barbarous, horrid acts of torture and massacre in history have been carried out for profit and in the name of patriotism. To die for liberation is better than to die for oppression! Some people will have to die, and it is tragic and we will mourn the victims of our Revolution greatly; but it is necessary! It has to happen! How many people have to die we do not know, hopefully it is comparatively few, and we will do all we can to minimize casualties; but some will have to die! Revolutionary change brings casualties, that is necessary, and, unlike for Capitalism, they are truly dying for a noble cause. Casualties and Terror are necessary; but by their method Terror and War will be abolished. Remember, to abolish Terror it is necessary to use methods of Terror, and to abolish war it is necessary to take up the gun yourself!
