Good! The firing squad is only the beginning of a grander movement.

I for one am glad that this fat capitalist oppressor's reign of laissez faire tyranny is over. Anarcho-capitalism has finally been overthrown in the North pole- no more will the proletariat elves be exploited by the red fur garbed, beard wearing, gluttonous bourgeoisie!

"A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”

This might make sense if the elves were the ones with the guns. Unfortunately the religious whackos doing the shooting would be just as oppressive to the elves (if not more) than the bearded fat man in red. I'm sure they would consider the elves soulless, and therefore not worthy of rights or protections.

The elves have an abundance of materials and resources to manufacture the weaponry in Santa's workshop; wresting the monopoly of weapons from Santa is an integral step in the revolution. Once the proles acquire arms things become interesting.

While I agree that this particular group would likely see elves as inferior, I do think it's important to point out that the common ground here is that Santa has been removed from the equation and the various ideologies can now hash it out. What the revolution may require is a figure like Ernst Bloch to bridge the gap between the Christians and the elves and emphasize their shared interests.
