Get a gun

Literally gestapo

- Life on the outside ain't what it used to be

nothign about this shit country is salvageable. burn it to th eground and start over
- I always laugh to myself when I see someone's American communism vexillology art project, and they all look like this:
  Deeply unserious nonsense. A "communist" America that still venerates the 13 original colonies by including the 13 stripes on the flag would be a deeply revisionist communist movement, which would be most movements if I'm being honest.
  To look at American history, who its revolution was fought for, and think "Yes, these 13 colonies should continue to be represented in our revolutionary banner" is pure delusion. The foundation on which this country was constructed is rotten. Its mythology is only a means to prop up the decaying framework on which the walls of capital are hung. From those 13 colonies sprung forth waves of genocide and exploitation that America then exported across the world.
  I do not believe a communist program should include the total dissolution of the United States, but instead believe that any communist revolution would lead to the total dissolution of the United States. The country would Balkanize along ideological and geographical lines, and the world would be better for it.

I think in this case a gun would just get you killed.
Definitely important to know how to use them comfortably and even have one at home but I don't think a gun is gonna help when you get swarmed by feds on your own.
If a group got together and organized armed volunteer defense groups that patrolled areas most at risk, that could deter individual kidnappings, but knowing where they will strike is challenging even if you had people organized in the area already.
It would definitely be a worthwhile organizing project, along with other decolonization/survival programs.
- In all cases a gun would get you killed. Hell, even having a registered firearm could lead the state to kick your door in, guns drawn when they come and arrest you for retweeting a Macklemore post about "free Palestine". All it takes is one trigger happy douche to come in guns blazing because they were big scared of a 20 year old Palestinian on a green card who rides a fixie to campus
  At this point shooting back without some sort of organization would lead to real life five stars in GTA
  
  Yeah you're probably right. They've shown they will do anything it get away with it. Organizing is really the only solution
- Even when organized into a small commune, the feds will just raid and/or bomb you if they want you enough. But it is a lot more work for them, so this would be an escalation that overall works in our favor over time.
  What we really need is entire communities ejecting feds and dearresting. But that requires a much greater level of organization.
  
  Yes it's true, robust and widespread organizing is the only potentially successful strategy. Another user pointed out that even having a registered firearm and being associated with anti Zionism or whatever else they don't like could put a target on you. I am strongly in favor of being armed in the US but under the current climate, it could invite extra scrutiny and/or surveillance

the masks are interesting. Are they scared? Do they think someone is going to leak their names and addresses or something?
- I think they are afraid of exactly that, getting their names and addresses doxed.
