Courted Kollontai, if I am not mistaken?

Although I see violence as something necessary, I also see it as a component of revolutionary change and not something that simply exists to sustain it. Even if there was no counter revolution, without violence, there can be no revolution. To answer, I don't view any figure as a bastion of violence, I think Lenin can represent the violence of the bolshevik revolution just as well as Dzerzhinsky can, though I am starting to become quite interested in Tukhachevsky, Frunze and others as alternatives to Stalin and Trotsky.
Hi, thanks for the interest. I did a rough guide to impossibilism on revleft and here http://libcom.org/library/impossibil...-reading-guide but there is also Coleman's PhD on impossibilism and the opportunity to come to a SPGB meeting, I am in South London meetings every so often.

Thanks for the compliment, and for planning to do an extensive write up as well~ I sometimes argue in conjunction with those I usually disagree with in order to dispense with weaker arguments from my side, so I understand that you aren't necessarily a moral nihilist, but again I thank you for the clarification. =)
