Quick, name a revolution resulting in decolonization or AES that didn't involve guns? I'll wait forever.
There is a nuance between knowing that no revolution was made without arms and "loving guns"... If I ever have to use one, I know I won't love it.
Well if you think that people and leftists don't like guns then I guess you've never been to India or Mexico
I'm just wondering what the Advanced Encryption Standard has to do with guns or revolutions
Actually Existing Socialism, ie the former USSR and current Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, etc.
Not my socialism.
"... we are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality;... " -- Mikhail Bakunin
Cool, except socialism in AES has brought liberty to the working class. Sloganeering isn't a substitute for a point.
I suggest reading theory and learning more about national liberation movements if you have the time, it seems we agree on ideals already, but we're all victims of Western anticommunist and imperialist propaganda
