American Militia Members. Where the hell are you? THIS is what you exist for and you are doing NOTHING!
Edit: I’ve only heard “defense against tyranny” as justification for these militias by these militia
There was supposed to be a well regulated militia.
The militia we have are gravy seals and Y’all Qaeda who want to dismantle regulation and rights.
Waiting for their orders to start killing brown folks.
if you count urban terrorism, we have Atleast three groups. All of them communist or communist in name.
I’m responding to groups self identifying as a militia, and that claim to exist as a check against tryanny. For what is worth
Oh they only care about tyranny that affects them. It’s not tyranny if it’s hurting the people they want hurt.
The vast, vast majority of armed militias that are allowed to operate in the U.S. are far-right white supremacists. Mysteriously, they are allowed to operate without any issues, but any leftist militias that start to accumulate guns get a visit from the FBI or the ATF.
We should start a leftist one masquerading as chuds for subterfuge. 😂
Chuds for Subterfuge sounds like a great punk rock band.
Nothing got gun control passed faster than the Black Panthers buying guns.
You mean the National Guard? They’re just another branch of of the military now.
If you mean the white nationalist militias, they’re pretty content with what going on. I think they’re getting ready to bring lynching back.
If you are talking about leftwing militias, I got some bad news…
I meant any of the groups that justify themselves as being a check against tyranny
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. For the most part, it’s fascists who form these militias, and quite a few of them are cops and military from 9–5. These people are not against “tyranny,” they’re for their own fascist brand of tyranny.
While it is true that the majority of what people conceive of as American “militias” are reactionary, leftist community defense groups do exist. They have no where near the organizing capacity to march on DC but they can be seen protecting their local communities often under the umbrella label Antifa. Given the material conditions of the US, most of the focus is on providing marginalized groups with the skills and resources to protect themselves.
Thanks for the links
it’s not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,
They also didn’t do anything when the democrats were presidents.
And they were at least fascist lite.
Now look at them crying bcs they lost their precious uniparty democracy once it started bullying them and not just the rest of the world for once.Lol?
I haven’t seen any government nor president of the United States being toppled over by militia so it obviously meant they did not do it.
TIL: anything = successfully toppling the largest govt on the planet and anytime less than that means nothing at all
Very hot take
Enforcing government tyranny.
Are you fucking stupid?
Why do you think any organized group is going to be making frontal attacks at all, much less at this point?
Jackass
You are unpleasant
You have no idea
Majority of militia folks are fascists
Be it right or left. Militia or paramilitary is always big no no
Left and fascist are opposites. Left wing organization in general does sadly require millitancy, though, whether it be for revolution or to defend against outside Capitalist powers.
Ideas and idiologies are more than just left and right.
Facism is a way of doing things. It just usually is more prominent with the political right wings because of authotarianism. But there also are left facists. One just doesnt call them that. Leninists, maoists, stalinists, tankies
Facism is a way of doing things
Fascism is an ideology, not way of doing things.
One just doesnt call them that. Leninists, maoists, stalinists, tankies
If they are fascists, why did Hitler attack them?
That’s not accurate, though. Fascism specifically is a far-right ideology centered around nationalism and entrenching the Bourgeoisie, usually through appealing to frustrations within the Petite Bourgeoisie. It’s a defense mechanism for Capitalism against rising labor organizing and threat of toppling Bourgeois power.
Marxism, on the other hand, is Left-wing. The class character of the various Communist strains is in appealing to the Proletariat, and wresting control from the Bourgeoisie, rather than entrenching it.
This is why Communists are the most effective anti-fascists, and fascists the most effective anti-communists, these are diametrically opposed systems and ideologies. That’s why 80% of the combat of World War II was on the Eastern Front, between the USSR and Nazi Germany.
I highly recommend Dr. Michael Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds, the first chapter in particular goes to great length to explain how equating Communism to fascism is a horribly inaccurate mistake that obscures the real underlying systems and impacts the two ideologies have had on the global stage in History.
I much prefer georgi dimitrov definition as “the open terrorist dictatorship of finance capital most reactionary and chauvinistic elements”.
Certainly better put! When someone is conflating Communism with fascism, though, they often need to be walked baby-steps through those errors in my experience, and Parenti does a great job with that.
sigh
enjoy getting stomped out then
If the anti fascists of the US actually started arming themselves en masse, I think it would be a net positive effect.
Either you have more armed anti fascists able to fight back, or the fascists panic and begin banning guns, causing the fools who follow them to actually think twice about their beliefs.
Nothing gets far right followers more riled up then someone threatening to take their firearms.
This guy gets it
94% of Militia members in the US are foaming at the mouth reactionaries if not open fascists, with many being active or former law enforcement or related to military or intelligence.
