    I always had a soft spot for Malcolm X, considering how loudly his actions spoke. School would show videos of police brutalizing protestors or of accounts of lynchings, then the next day get told that any attempts to fight back with more than a rousing speech were going too far. Honestly shocked I wasn’t a full on communist by grade school, really.

      I mean, fighting back against state brutality of a capitalist regime could be called communist, but would fighting back against state brutality of a communist regime still be communist?

        Yes, a communist organization that no longer serves the interests of workers relinquishes its purpose and should be destroyed, and replaced with one that does.
