Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

With the ICE shootings happening in the US (including the tragic death of a lady in Minneapolis named Renee), do you think we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes now more than ever (and fast)?

I got banned from posting on Lemmy.ml, so I post this to the Beehaw Socialism community.

Setting aside the cognitive dissonance of "everyone else is the problem" that generally erupts as main-character syndrome, there are communities such as Street Medics already on this. You don't really want to spin something up in reaction.

I can think of one or two reasons why not. Inexperience would be an issue. Also the kind of people you would get would probably not be the kind you want.

What are the reasons you have in mind?
