Fascists and the right in general have a way of coming together in solidarity and organizing to fight successfully for their causes in the real world and obviously they are having an effect. We don’t have the money they have, that’s a given and that limits things, no doubt. But we as leftists, must find ways to organize in ways that match the fascists. Subversion of their goals is our goal. The class and culture war is in full effect and we must not be complacent. “They got the bombs but we got the guillotine.” We need organizing principles and ways to defend the marginalized in the real world. Ideas or advice for people looking to support progressive causes?
I mean, arm and train. That’s what it always boils down to.
It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to prevent a takeover, resist one that’s underway, or are attempting to serve as a resistance after a takeover, there is never any other answer.
If each and every person isn’t ready and willing to fight, then it’s already over before you start getting to organize. That means being armed, training to use those arms, and being willing to use them if it becomes necessary. Anything else is a circlejerk.
