So when time comes to take things by strength wha is that actually going to look like?

General strikes, mass persistent protests, and other targeted non-violent actions. Mass movements that have actual commitment behind them are more effective.

But also, the state will never hesitate to use violence, so it is the right of citizens to self-defense. The Black Panthers were very effective at preventing police violence by patrolling their neighborhoods and providing an armed citizenry presence during police interactions. (That’s why Reagan made it illegal to open carry in California.) We need similar militias who can provide deterrence to ICE violence now.
