Fucking no strike clause, what the FUCK

Liberals are fucking moronic scum, we have no freedom, we have no rights, we are granted no provisions for our betterment or even protection or basic decision making

I will destroy this evil land, I will spill the blood of oppressors and free my fellow workers from their chains

I AM RISEN lenin-shining

    Law existing and law being applied are different things. There is no case the police would raid a white supremacist militia because they probably run it

        It’s the being arrested or murdered that deters people. And by the time corporate media is done with you, everyone will think you were in a terrorist cell.

          I mean, if the militia is marching with red and black flags and stuff without a doubt you’re right. I think there’s an assumption a lot of people are making that I’m suggesting forming a communist militia, but that’s not the case - the militia would absolutely have to be outwardly apolitical.

        It’s not that militancy doesn’t have a place in the American left. It’s that a militia is not a drop in replacement for a union. There are currently good conditions for forming a union, at least the best there have been in decades. I don’t think the same is true of left-wing militias, at least not among everyday workers. If you’re in an area where you’re treated shittily enough and your local gun culture is amenable to forming a militia in your spare time amongst your coworkers, there’s a good chance that militia is not left-wing anymore. If nothing else, you’d need to identify a prominent social leader and start a strong ideological core with them. There’s a lot of luck involved in the conditions being right.

        I wanna be clear that that doesn’t mean people should avoid taking it seriously and considering it as an option. I just don’t think that most people will come to the conclusion that it’s feasible for them.

          No doubt - and to be clear, I don’t think the answer to labor organization is always a militia, and it’s definitely not an explicitly left militia. The only situation where this would work is an outwardly non-political (in the American sense) militia

            Yeah, seems I made some rash assumptions about what you meant. Since it seems you’ve given this a fair amount of thought, if you ever write up an effortpost on it, I’d be happy to read it.
