Whether or not a socialist revolution is possible is not subjective. It's either possible or it isn't, and my opinion doesn't change the fact one bit. Whether or not a socialist revolution would be a good thing is subjective, and in my subjective judgment (which, again, probably arises from stupidity), it certainly wouldn't be. |
That is subjective. For workers, and eventually every member of society, socialism will be a good thing.
Under capitalism, the capitalists benefit directly from that system. It's a system "built" for them.

Of course, at first the revolution will be opposed by capitalists, because it means that they would have to give up their wealth, and their property (as in the means of production, not personal possessions). They might try to resist, burn crops, destroy machinery, and even form a counter revolution against the new revolutionary government. It will be the governments job to organize an army to defend itself against this counter revolution.
Once the capitalists no longer exist, there will be no classes. Everyone will be 'workers', but everyone will also be 'rich'. Everyone will benefit, no one will even remember what it was like under capitalism.
