To clarify what I think you are saying. You don't do an "armed protest" by just doing the same thing you'd do at a normal protest + guns.
This is a recipe for chaos and literally just a blank check to the CIA and military to slaughter you before anything is achieved.
Armed protest are not a thing. At least not for the left. When the right brings guns to a protest they are doing it to protect state power. That is allowed.
Arming yourselves and taking actual strategic objectives, having sustainable and multiple routes for resources, and obtainable demands/goals are what are required. You don't just give a gun to the "no Kings" libs and a expect that to happen or go well for the few that actually join.
The revolution doesn't happen by a bunch of people storming the capital or white house as the first event. That's Hollywood shit and it's why the dumb hogs did it and were allowed to do it.
The revolution ends there. It starts with strategic objectives. Taking over power, transportation, and communication infrastructure, taking over state police and other resources.
The Joes in the military will bomb the capital and everyone in it before they start defending a leftist revolution.
Wow a Lemmy user who actually understands politics? Well I'll be...
Thanks. Some of us in .ml actually understand what we read and more importantly are able to apply it. Sadly too many that are attracted to revolution like it's a Hollywood movie. Ironically the same attraction the maga chuds have, but, with at least the correct moral compass.
