Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other "apolitical" gun club.

I've been in the SRA for 4 years, it's not great, but I met comrades local to me. I've learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I'll post more getting started stuff if this doesn't get banned.

Have you considered they want you to have the opinion you currently have?

They profit off your fear.

They profit off your death.

The point is for them to fear us. The only reason you're not chained to a factory right this second is that our forefathers took up arms and fought a second Civil War in this nation. One they don't like to talk to you about in schools. The only reason any leftist movement has ever succeeded anywhere on this planet is by Force of Arms. The ruling class needs to know that we're capable of killing them all, because that's the soul and only reason we exist. Every single law is nothing without that to back it up.

As for profit, yeah they'll make money off it if they can, but you'll notice that these same people have no problem with taking away guns from us when it's convenient. You'll notice they don't stand up for gun rights when fascist thugs kick down doors and murder people. So while they will profit off me when they can, they know the real profit won't come from me but from the ruling class. So forgive me if I don't trust them to keep it fair at the end of the day. They'll happily take that trade off to disarm all the leftists.

That's a long winded way to say no.

You sound prepared to be pointed at an enemy but not prepared to understand who will be pointing you.

You sound like someone who's fallen for neoliberal propaganda and who basically is the perfect spokesman for the needs of capitalism.

You are displaying a poor ability to judge others political positions.

No, I just understand who benefits most from disarming leftists.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You clearly believe you understand that. Just as I understand the people who benefit from class infighting and alienating potential allies. Just as I understand the type of character that responds poorly to their ideas being challenged. Just as I understand the left has its own flavor of gravy seals.

I'm sorry what? You think that the working class fighting against the ruling class is good for the ruling class? Well that's a freaking statement. I reiterate you are a wonderful spokesman for capitalism.
