Political power comes from the barrel of a gun Mao Zedong said. Those who think that the global revolution necessary to replace capitalism with socialism can only be achieved by violence and force, or by assassination, are mistaken.
When the socialist minded majority decide to implement socialism then any violent opposition on the part of the ruling class will not be taken lying down. The democratic process, used to its fullest, remains the best method of replacing capitalism.
Every day, across the world, people are injured or die as a result of capitalism.
Unlike some they do not have their fates emblazoned across the global media. Nor are there outpourings of condemnation from world leaders at the ‘horrific’ social system that continues to perpetuate misery on the many.
