      You have adopted the word communist into your username, yet you are against arming the working class? Are you calling yourself a clown? I’m confused.

        All guns are designed to kill people you clown.

        As a communist I know we need to disarm the settler class. As long as settlers can own guns they can be deputized. See: Israel

            Mao tells us in On Contradiction that we need to identify the superior contradiction to organize against it. Under settler-colonialism the settler class is bourgeoisified by superexploitation of the colonized. You aren’t going to defeat the settler-occupation by arming the occupiers.

            So it is in Israel, so it is in the US. They’re close allies because they’re part of the same project.

              you can’t think that laws passed by the settlers will be enforced in a way that would undermine their dominance: they would outlaw guns and in practice only prosecute the occupied populace.

                Conversely, colonized people are not protected by the freedoms bestowed onto settlers. Legally armed Black men still get murdered by cops.

                The reason we don’t have gun control is precisely because settlers won’t pass gun control laws. That’s why we’ll have to disarm them- later 🤫
