We can’t riot like the French do; we’ll lose our jobs and our healthcare and our houses.

If we don't riot, we're likely to lose our jobs, our healthcare, and our homes.

He didn't say that, exactly... He said something kinda similar in idea.

So, on that note of you feeling some sort of superiority, because you think you know for a fact, the source is a Reich Winger, when the "source" is working class zeitgeist.

Much like how no one person came up with the "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross." line, or "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

All of those were created via a game of "telephone", and modified to their current form by the zeitgeist of the working class.

As I said, the working class did not invent it, it was invented by a righg winger and picked up by leftists who want to feel badass.

That's... Just not true. It might have come from a somewhat similar expression purported to be written by Lenin in a letter... Maybe. It has since been picked up by those on the left, and made into what it is today.

But action without theory is a death sentence.

So it theory and no action. Propaganda of the deed works. Like, in this case, it is serving to show the working class that the time to really act is NOW, not later. The more of these happen, the more people jump in.

Again, I’m not against armed resistance, don’t try and strawman me. The Deacons of Defense and Justice, the Black Panthers and various other armed movements are worth studying and in part emulating.

So, do you think they never shot at people?

We check the source for our info, and the source is the right wing political establishment not the “working class,” who has a right to defend itself – but this ain’t it.

What source do you have for that? Historians completely disagree on your claim...

You’re damn right I’m quick to jump on it, and for good reason.

Maybe not so much mate...

Your theoretical knowledge is so non existent that the only left wing “theory” you know well enough to quote, is in fact, right wing political theory

So quick to jump on this... Neither Marx nor Lenin said it.

Who said it? The working class created that "meme", and spread it widely.

So, about your purported "knowledge superiority"... Its not false. Where do you think the firearms the working class will use are going to come from? Capitalists are more than happy to sell them to us.

Could be right-on-right violence.

We can hope! Setting the enemies against each other is always a win for us, the working class.

Feds are big on protecting oligarchs. If feds were big on interstate commerce, they'd be arresting the governor of Texas for interfering in it.

What is shooting up a dealership going to accomplish? What’s the political message?

"The oligarchs are not safe. You sold us the rope, and now we're looking to use it."

All it’s going to do is generate sympathy for Elmo.

I don't believe so... Most people are laughing at this story.

But, on that note: What are you doing? Propaganda of the deed has a long, and storied tradition amongst the left.

Only if the parents are brown.

If white, "it was gawds will".

Why would a geologist spin up a Mastodon server, period? Or any other kind of social media server?

I mean, to be fair, I wouldn't mind fucking the mailman for some qualudes either.

It benefits you, because with almost half the population removed from the paid labor pool, you are more likely to earn more, and get jobs you likely would not have gotten before.
