>I don't care if I have an 1 in 5 chance of being stabbed to death in a tribal village with 500 inhabitants, if the number of murders in a city with millions of habitant is slightly bigger, that is logic
I am starting to get why people fell so much contempt from hippies.

Hmmmm....

I don't understand the point of discussing with anti-capitalists who believe that capitalism (or class society, monetary exchanges, the division of labour, etc) is the reason for everything bad in the world.

I can see Karl Marx believing that in the XIXth century, before modern archeology could dispel Rousseaunian myths about pre-civilized society and show that it was just as violent and superstitious as what came next.

There is no reason to believe that even if we achieve True Communism™, the patriarchal family is abolished and everything is organized by worker's councils, these councils won't just engage in perpetual warfare like all those tribes who have lived or are living under primitive communism.

Specially if the only thing you can claim to counter this argument is a vision of a future that only exists in your mind.

So yeah, to the helicopter it goes. Why not? If you propose revolutionary politics as war against established reality and disdains the rule of law, why shouldn't established powers in reality go to war against you?
