So far, you have said that you disagree that the Global South needs to use violence and “authoritarianism” (i.e. having governments and militaries) to defend against your empire.

Oh have I? Quote me. Where did I say that?

How should the Global South resist your empire?

First of all, again, you are poisoning the well with this “your empire” shit. You love a good argument fallacy, don’t you? But regardless I did not say that there are not times where violence is necessary and called for. Revolution, fighting oppression, and defense of self and others are all perfectly reasonably justifications for violence. My position against violence is more nuanced than “it can never be justified”.

What are your positions on the justification of violence. I will assume you also support revolution, as that seems to be your implication. But what about, say, the Chistka/The Great Purge? Or Red August/Sweeping Away All Monsters and Demons (Héngsǎo Yīqiè Niúguǐ Shéshén)? What is your opinion of those events?

Okay, where did I misrepresent your argument?

Are you serious? I just quoted that. The selective reading comprehension is impressive, honestly.

However, the fact that you do not contest that, when people are called “tankies”, they are, indeed, correct too soon is telling.

Allow me to repeat myself. I contest that. I refute that. That is bullshit. Clear enough?
