I don't think leftist like guns, but otherwise makes sense.
People forget that not everyone on Lemmy are from the States, because where I am from leftists are usually really anti-gun.
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.
