    Remember folks. Fascism has never, ever been put down using words.

    Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train with them and form networks.

      As an European, I want Americans to fight against fascism, at the same time, it sounds like it would require civil war, and if that happens, then the sharks circling around US would use that opportunity to make some moves. This whole thing makes me uneasy. Y’all need to be smart about this.

      In Francoist Spain the dictatorship collapsed with the death of Franco and while a violent few years ensued, the Spanish Transition to Democracy was (comparatively) peaceful.

      Political strength and popular support were far more important than strength in violence.

        Moreover, a violent revolution was never achieved without the attendant political and logistical organization. So regardless of eventual character, the method of building a movement remains the same. Unfortunately it’s boring, difficult work that leaves the most active most vulnerable to reprisals. Which is why people like Fred Hampton and Harvey Milk and Berta Cáceres are all so important and also ended up with their brains splattered on their beds/office floors etc.

      I have never understood how some think that people with guns can withstand the largest armed forces on the planet.

              You are separated from reality and have never lived under harsh conditions. It all sounds like fun and games until your children starve in front of you and you can’t do anything about it since all systems have broken down.

          ISIS and Hamas haven’t actually accomplished anything. Not exactly worth emulating.

          If we want to emulate the Taliban, we’d have to go hide out in Mexico until the Trump administration gives up and gifts us our country back. Somehow I don’t think that would work out for us quite so well.

        Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that’s what they would be doing right now.
