It has became harder to rebel and fight the government nowadays with tanks and modern military stuff
I don't blame anyone for being scared, but at some point it has to be done. If the Vietnamese people won, so can all of us.
Unless we get the millitary on board with the revolution.
the military serves capital.
Usually, yes. However, in cases like the Bolivarian revolution, the millitary sides with the people. It's a bit more complicated than that.
that was almost 2 centuries ago and at a time when guerillas could viable combat a military.
I mean the modern Bolivarian revolution, helmed by Hugo Chavez 2 decades ago, not Bolivar himself.
Guerrillas viably combatted a military this century
and it will not get any easier, if we keep waiting eventually the rich will have enough tools to not need the plebians to survive and they will be free to cull everyone.
From first glance, I feel like this post is taken out of context. It might not be implying that we'll fight Trump with voting, but rather Trump has no right to cancel the midterms by dragging us into a war over Greenland because we didn't cancel the election during the Civil War. I could be wrong though, that's just my impression
Ok so when he cancels the midterms, are you going to do something about it or are you going to wag your finger disapprovingly like every other time Trump has broken every single written and unwritten rule you pretend to care about
"he has no right!" He doesn't care about rights, all that matters is who's gonna stop him
Personally, I'm preparing to do things to resist in my personal life like preparing to buy firearms and training with them as well as researching how to obtain gender affirming care by illegal means for my sister's sake.
When it comes to actually defeating the fascists though? Unless we all gather into an organized armed uprising, then all I can do is protest and prepare to defend my loved ones with my life. The best I can do is hide in the shadows waiting for that organized resistance. Once that happens, hopefully I will have practiced with a firearm enough to give my life up to defeat them. If we all fail, then there will be nothing that can stop him considering the entire democratic party are essentially the same thing
