Revenge is fine as long as it’s tightly targeted. Collective revenge is not good

Class based liquidations aren't revenge. They're the real movement to communism, they merely stand in the way. It's nothing personnel kid, you will cease to exist

If it feels that good to remove thing masquerading as a person , it has to have some elements of revenge even if they are secondary or tertiary

When I talk about revenge, I'm talking about interpersonal beefs. Some guy kidnapped and killed your spouse or something, I'm not going to say it's bad if something were to happen. Morally, I don't care. Legally of course that is to be frowned upon for obvious reasons regarding death penalty and right to a trial.

Large scale politics is not revenge. It is class war. It is strategic calculation and victory, seizure of what is ours and restoration of justice.
