Quick, name a revolution resulting in decolonization or AES that didn't involve guns? I'll wait forever.

I'm just wondering what the Advanced Encryption Standard has to do with guns or revolutions

Actually Existing Socialism, ie the former USSR and current Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, etc.

Not my socialism.

Cool, except socialism in AES has brought liberty to the working class. Sloganeering isn't a substitute for a point.

There is a nuance between knowing that no revolution was made without arms and "loving guns"... If I ever have to use one, I know I won't love it.

Well if you think that people and leftists don't like guns then I guess you've never been to India or Mexico
