The Guatemalan protest turned violent? What? It was literally a coup for fuck's sake
And every socialist country is history has 'violently supressed dissent'.
yes, because they don't have the support to be violent. If they could overthrow the government, they would do it TODAY, and would do anyhing it took.
And again, you're saying 'the commies are being peaceful!', but so are the far-right, and yet you come up with hypthetical future reasons to take away their right to protest today.
But let me guess? People screeching 'globalise the intifada' only want peace, right?
1. "The Guatemalan protest turned violent? What? It was literally a coup for fuck's sake
And every socialist country is history has 'violently supressed dissent'."
a. I admire that you're speaking so boldly yet you're so unbelievably uneducated on the topic. The Guatemalan coup initially began with the dictatorship of Jorge Ubico who violently suppressed peaceful mass strikes against the suspension of constitution and economic unrest using martial law. Ubico resigned and appointed a military junta as an interrim government who was deposed in a violent coup. So yes, the protests began as peaceful and turned violent after repeated use of violence by the dictatorship.
b. Not every socialist nation has this clearly as I stated two examples of a non-authoritarian, democratic socialist nation that did not use violent force to maintain order.

a. You're saying simultaneously that the Communist Party both lacks the support to try and overthrow the government but also claim that they would do anything it takes to overthrow the government, which would presumably include support? If they were willing to do anything it took to overthrow the government, they would've done it already and the fact they haven't directly disproves your argument.
b. The far-right is being peaceful as a guise, which they have ADMITTED on their own accord. This is not a hypothetical future reason, this is the reasoning they give to why they are peaceful currently.
c. Not everybody who says "globalise the intifada" is a socialist or leftist, multiple Palestinian right-wing groups also echo the same sentiment. The term intifada was used to signify aggressive yet non-violent resistance to Israeli occupation and has since been twisted by Zionist media to signify violent revolution which it clearly is not.
