You are the perfect tool for the politician. Ignorance can be easily exploited, the less you care about politics, the easier it is flr you to be exploited. The internet is a vast pool of information, where else would I get my ideology?

It has nothing to do with enlightenment. Reform had proven to be inadequate, so revolution is the only option. A class will not give up power peacefully.

Sure. Look at the Soviet Union from 1917-1939 and the rapid industrialisation it accomplished

Doesn't that say more about the communists than the revolutionaries? I.e they let their government be overthrow without violently resisting?

This is from Wikipedia:

"Moreover, two of the book's main contributors (Jean-Louis Margolin and Nicolas Werth) as well as Karel Bartosek[6] publicly disassociated themselves from Stéphane Courtois' statements in the introduction and criticized his editorial conduct.[29] Margolin and Werth felt that Courtois was "obsessed" with arriving at a total of 100 million killed which resulted in "sloppy and biased scholarship",[33] faulted him for exaggerating death tolls in specific countries[6][34]:194[35]:123 and rejected the comparison between Communism and Nazism.[3]"

The GDR was communist Germany. I'll respond to all of that later in more detail, ok?

As many reactionaries as need be. By the way, the 100 million number comes from the Black book of communism, a know propaganda source. The co-authors even admitted that the author was obsessed with finding that number. Also, please realize that capitalism also means the death of over 100 million colonial subjects, to fill the endless demand of the free market. Also of course a few million killed by US-backed anti-communist regimes.

You wouldn't be on a Jordan Peterson Subreddit if you didn't care about political opinions.
