Again, I think you need to look up the political definition of reactionary.
Taking up arms to defend yourself against fascist is not reactionary politics... Otherwise that would make just about every socialist revolution a reactionary force.
Again, you are being a moron.
Lol, very convenient for you.
Again.... Not sure how you equate self defense to "giving up". I will also again suggest you read Scott Crow's Setting Sights.
You suggest we are going to defend ourselves against neonazi armed with AR-15 with what, hopes and prayers?
Says the boy who claims that anyone with a gun is fascist..... Even if they are fighting fascist.
You are not a reactionary!? You don't want to return to an imagined time before "fascism" took hold of the US. I know it is bullshit, but so are you.
Arming groups of people is not self defense. Arming both sides is a classic US fascist maneuver. You are so fucking stupid I can't even with you.
I suggest you are not going up against Neo Nazi and that you are a fucking fascist yourself. Playing pretend defense fantasy scenarios in your head.
I don't claim anyone with a gun is a fascist as I live in Alaska where guns are tools not props for larping idiots like you.
Lol, I've said several times I'm a leftist...... Which means I want to progress to a socialized economy. You are just lib brained.
I'm guessing you've never heard about mutual defense networks?
Any historical examples you'd like to back that claim with? Or is that another topic where you don't care to explain yourself?
Yeah, It's the socialist who were really the fascist....... Are you having a stroke or something?
Explains your education, did you learn about fascism from Sarah Palin herself or something?
You are about as leftist as my right nut. You ain't fooling me or anyone else.
No, I don't larp defense fantasy bullshit sorry.
You want me to explain to you how the US has armed both sides of conflicts? Yeah hard pass, try reading something other than your gun manifestos.
You are about as bright as Sarah Failing.
Because, I don't think right winged extremists should be the only armed citizens during a political schism? You do know that absolutists gun control isn't a leftist political position? You're just regurgitating the libs.
Again...... I never claimed I'm going to fight a military force like the right winged chuds. Mutual defence networks have historically been utilized by marginalized communities because the police cannot be trusted to defend them from paramilitary forces. The same paramilitary forces that are typically utilized by fascist regimes to do systemic violence against unarmed victims.
Both sidesing every problem is a lib reflex.
Another excuse, color me surprise.
Lol, like a history book? The ones that could explain to you the history of anti fascist resistance groups? Or maybe a book that explains the difference between leftist and liberal?
Because you are not a fucking leftist. I have marched with socialists and fought successfully for people's rights. You are a fucking joke.
You are a gun nutter through and through. I am not going to listen to your cosplay bullshit excuses. You showed your true colors and there is no backpedaling no matter how hard you try.
You are ignorant of history and think the little slice you studied has given you some insight. Here is a wake up call, you have no insight. You are a moron.
All you can do is trot out tired tropes like a one trick pony. I am going to bid you goodbye and I hope you do some self reflection and grow the fuck up.
I have also demonstrated with other socialist, and have successfully helped start unions in a right to work state. What is it about recognizing that gun control is not a going to be a obtainable on the foreseeable future disqualifies anyone from being a socialist? As I have said several times already gun restrictions isn't exactly a leftist policy.
Lol, guns have nothing to do with the economic theory of socialism. Especially when you are in support of the reactionary government achieving a monopoly on violence. Nothing you are claiming is a tenet in socialist theory. I haven't back-pedaled you just have an insane definition of both socialism and fascism that doest reflect political theory or historical reality.
How exactly do you think people have seized the means of production in the past? Even people who still adhere to electorialism on the left recognize that power has never been transferred to the people in a totally peaceful manor.
Again...... You are failing to align your criticisms with any examples or evidence of historical context. You continue to do nothing but make unjustified claims.
Says the person who has done nothing but make rebuttals based on ad hominems... You have had ample opportunity to justify your position with the examples of history you've alluded too. You've had ample opportunity to explain your logic, or even examples of one of the many solutions you claim to exist.....time and time again you've failed to provide any substance to the argument, or even address my rebuttals with an actual response relevant to the argument.
Based on the argument you've put forth the only thing we can conclude you believe is that anyone with a firearm is a fascist, including historical examples of socialist resistance fighters literally fighting Nazis.
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.
Some random not-a-fucking-leftist gun nutter, apparently
This guy has to be trolling, or we've just run into the most American lib brained person on the fucking planet.
Oh look another idiot to block.
He's literally quoting Marx...... Is Karl Marx not left enough for you?
