That doesn't follow logically, they aren't planning on dismantling anything without a replacement

Thank you for answering! That makes sense, from a western perspective I think some on the fence 'leftists' who might not quite call themselves communists could be turned off from the overly ML styling of ProleWiki, so something more encompassing could definitely be useful.

Western media only interviews people like this for propaganda purposes, the article is drenched with Western bias.

Edit: I posted that before reading too much of the article, it's not quite as biased as I first assumed, I think I'm just tired and ready to call out anything that doesn't immediately condemn the genocide perpetrated by Israel

How does this project compare with ProleWiki? I don't know much about that site but it has quite a larger collection of articles. I think it's good to have multiple of such types of places though. Does this aim to be more 'big-tent' than ProleWiki as that is explicitly Marxist-Leninist?

That's a good point, they might shoot actual communists at times, but they also shoot mail workers for being feds or whatever, most of them think Biden is a far-left radical communist

You won’t be convincing me to vote out of concern for saving the current fascistic surveillance state appendages.

I agree with this, I'm not trying to convince anyone to vote and I won't be voting, I just think there might be some merit to the idea that there could be an exceptional level of political repression after the next election, I've stated my reasons for that.

A large part of me feels Trump being elected could be better for the left because of this repression in a way, there is no energy to do anything material at the ground level when democrats are in power, because to the libs they are the 'grown-ups'. I just have a large amount of anxiety and fear for immediate victims of violence when chuds get empowered by elections. But it's not like they'd go away if Trump lost anyway.

I don't disagree with that, but it's not like they would stop with that, if they did they would be doing it so they could empower other types of enforcement

that when Republicans call for the blood of leftists, they mean like… Hillary Clinton, or Chuck Schumer, or Barack Obama. They don’t even know what leftism is and couldn’t find it with a map and both hands.

The people I've seen shot by chuds or hit by a car at protests would disagree. Mainstream Republicans maybe not but they are invigorating their base to do the shit for them, just as every budding fascist movement has. The democrats are essentially the same, especially on the world stage, but I am hesitant to dismiss the threat from Republicans in this aspect because of trauma I've experienced.

That is true but when has that ever included military or police funding?
