    3 dead in one state, some number between 5 and 20 spread across the USA in a year, it’s a systemic problem that needs to be immediately stopped but I can tell you it is not open warfare. It’s not the LA Riots, it’s not Tienanmen Square. It is not the Great Purge of 37. It will rapidly approach those events, perhaps even surpass them, if we idolize gun violence and keep pulling stunts like this, though.

    That’s the problem with accelerationists like the BPP and right wing anarchists, they’re completely fine with death and violence if it has any chance of making themselves less governable. They hate the social contract.

    What we need to be doing is expanding our community, making people realize this is all of our problems, and convincing the larger whole to collectively do something about this. Make them realize it’s not the Black Panthers or the Cartel at risk, far from it, it will be them and their picket fence next, it will be their hedges, their children’s education, their freedoms, because we are all at risk.

      Open carry isn’t open warfare. Where are you getting that. The BPPFSD is solidly leftist. The original group were Marxist, and weren’t accelerationist. Hate to break it to you, all anarchist are fine with this sort of self defense. 100% left anarchist like myself support this and the panthers.

      Open carrying isn’t acceleration-ism or a call to violence. Quite the opposite. It’s to provoke them to think twice before their next murder. The fash will and have always been the ones to accelerate. California’s strict gun laws? All because a chimp’s co star turned fascist was afraid to see black men carrying and defending themselves. Not that they killed someone. Just that they were carrying.

      …I can tell you it is not open warfare.

      Not yet .

      That’s the problem with accelerationists like the BPP and right wing anarchists

      If you are lumping the Black Panther Party in with right-wing anarchists you know little about the Black Panthers. I’m not going to debate you on this fact.

        It’s our batshit gun culture and debate. It’s highly tied to the perceived right here. Therefore anything with guns involved sort of gets lumped “right”. You’re absolutely right. As I also said, the Panthers historically and still generally are anything but right wing. I think that’s where this is coming from though.
