How do you suggest we start?
As an angry mob flooding the police precinct; not as an annoyed mob with signs standing in a designated area after obtaining permits to stand in the designated area with signs.
How would we address the prisoner's dilemma of the first person getting shot?
Give up, these types never have any sort of thought to organization, they want to see tmstuff happen, but refuse to apply any effort or thought themselves.
Is that to imply that you would be willing to lead then?
I don't have to have a solution to see a problem .
All revolts have risk. Everyone knows this. A revolutionary does not dwell in them.
I want a revolution that can succeed because it has a social structure of some kind. Not one that will just kill off our most altruistic allies by unilaterally hurling our bodies at armed thugs.
What is the social structure that fuels radical fascism?
I don't know. Why do you ask?
Because their revolution has worked great without any social structure.
Which revolution was that? Like the Founding Fathers, or January 6th, or the police, or what?
All of the radical right wing violence leading to more radical right wing politicians and radical right wing division from society on a local level. Also, the radical right wing threats of violence against political opponents that gives us shitbags like MTG.
But right-wing political parties are a social structure. Voting works better than dying in a hail of bullets, and voting works even better if you've got no qualms with gerrymandering to retain power.
So....vote harder?
Maybe that could have worked for us decades ago? I don't know.
Where does "dying in a hail of bullets" come into play?
Storm the police station
So your police will fire wildly at a crowd of civilians? You have already lost. You are under fascist rule. You will now have to arm yourselves to survive.
In all of these discussions the defense from the left is always "we are weak and pathetic".
The opponent does not think this way.
I agree, we should all be armed! That's great for self-defense or an escape.
But for you individually, your odds of survival go down if you attack the police station. If you sit that one out, you can free ride off other people dying to protect you from a common bully.
OR...just become ungovernable. This is how civil wars are actually waged worldwide.
Oh just do that, easy. Bullets bounce off you.
You are LARPing hard.
You do not understand anything in my previous sentence, do you? You think it means meeting on a battlefield, don't you?
I am sick of a world full of feckless pussies. I hope it nukes tomorrow.
