Obviously the kids of a deposed ruler represents far more of an issue than regular children in a country. I seriously don’t think non-revolutionaries far after the event have a leg to stand on to critique the actions of the Bolsheviks from some Ivory Tower of morality. What happened was during a revolution and they were the children and heirs to the position of the sunpreme enemy

Right it was some great great cousin of the Tsar that opened the Soviet Union up to the west leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union and not some hereditary nobody.

I mean, they fail even a basic “ends justify the means” test given that Russia is currently a hyper-capitalistic dystopia so yeah, I don’t think my critique of the path they set down is in fact ill-posed.
Capital, in all it’s algorithimic and anti-humanistic glory is the supreme enemy, not some guy wearing a funny hat in a bunch of medals . The french killed their funny hat guy and 10 years later they had an Italian in an even funnier hat running things, so this notion that we can just kill our way into socialism by executing certain lineages seems a bit daft.
Saying that I am promoting “killing our way to socialism” is patently dishonest. I am stating that the Bolsheviks took out an easy path to anti-revolutionary activity and stopped the flower of evil from flowering. I don’t wish to have a conversation if you are going to misrepresent what I said by claiming that I want to “kill our way to socialism”
You are willingly misrepresenting what I am saying. The path to socialism isn’t about killing but of course killing is generally necessary, the enforcement of authority of the proletariat must be carried out agaisnt the former oppressors. If you can’t understand that, I don’t know what to say
Fuck you. Killing children is never necessary. If you can’t understand that, I don’t know what else to say.

Children were never the oppressors you fucking ghoul! You remind me of the goddamned apologists for the US nuking Japan “anything done in the name of furthering the goals of my side, even deliberately to innocent people born in the wrong place at the wrong time, may seem icky but thems the way it is. I’m just being practical.” Not only does the argument rest entirely on a possibility of what might happen, it’s completely unjustified regardless.
I don’t think it’s fair to equate the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and the injury and radiation poisoning and genetic defects of countless more to killing, what, 5 children? That’s absurd. You’re blowing this completely out of proportion.
You can argue it’s wrong but I can’t imagine getting upset over something like that. There’s a simple matter of scale to consider.
And again, that’s exactly what the fascist apologists for the dropping of nuclear bombs on innocent Japanese civilians say.
“I can’t imagine getting upset over something like child murder.” I almost put in one of the disgust emojis here but it felt like it was too light-hearted for the disgust I’m actually feeling right now for people I used to think of as comrades.
Lol holy shit 5 innocent people were killed a hundred years ago and you’re throwing around “people I used to think of as comrades” because we’re not clutching pearls hard enough over it.
What a ridiculous thing to care about. Do you support revolution? You realize that lots of innocent people would die in a conflict like that, right? Way more than 5, I can tell you that! Revolution is not a dinner party.
I’m sorry that I don’t consider the lives of royals to be worth more than other people. Kill the lib in your head.

Well let’s strip out the euphemistic cover to the following.
What specifically did that involve? A smidge of killing possibly?

Like a 12 year old? I guess that’s the part I don’t understand.
