If human history progresses along a set path, from primitives to feudalism to capitalism to communism, and this 'evolution' is inevitable, what's the point of doing a bloody revolution to bring about a change that is inevitable?

Same goes for crypto-marxist neoliberals who genuinely believe that the triumph of Western ideals such as liberty and democracy are inevitable destinies. If it's going to happen anyway, why fight and kill to make it happen faster?

Wouldn't it be the most morally resonsible thing to just sit home and do nothing? Let time gradually work things out in a slow peaceful way, instead of forcing genocidal social experiments (wars of liberation, revolutions) on people who don't want it?

It just boggles my mind that people who harp on about their brand of politics being the ultimate 'right side of history' fail to see this hypocrisy.

If the world socialist revolution is going to triumph no matter what, why kill millions to make it happen in 10 years? Why not kill nobody and let it happen over a 1000 years naturally, isn't that what a normal non-sociopathic human would do?

It's inevitable because the revolution is inevitable you dunce. If you sit around doing nothing then nothing will happen.

Not even a smoothbrained tankie but inevitability doesn't imply non-action. In fact it implies the opposite.

No one is going to do a revolution until Capitalism force people to do it.

Kill who? Certainly not the average wage worker. As i said, the "psychopathic bloody proletarian revolution", will happen as a self defense mechanism.

Shouldn't the revolution be spontaneous rather than needing to be guided by ideologues?
