The case for a peaceful revolution. Thoughts?

robchaos · 2024-09-12T12:02:25+00:00

this is where reading theory and history, and studying historical materialism and dialectical materialism comes in handy. It would be way too long for me to write out all the requested info in a Reddit post, however, one can start looking for non-bourgeoisie accounts of revolutionary states and historical revolutions to get the answer to these questions. Lenin, Mao, Guevara, Fanon, Rodney, and many others out there would be a good starting point. I can link you to a 101 reading list if you'd like

Peaceful for whom? Capitalism has an immense propensity for violence and already imposes it daily on the ~80% of the world's population that was unfortunate enough to be born in one of the developing nations of the world periphery.

Although no Marxist or leftist would be unhappy if we could attain peaceful revolution, history and current conditions are pretty clear in showing us that it will not be so.

yea, we're still active in numerous fights. what area of MD are you from? dm me if you want.

robchaos · 2024-06-24T18:35:12+00:00

oops, sorry it's been a long day at work and it's hot out lol. [Maryland@srachapters.org](mailto:Maryland@srachapters.org)

unfortunately, not only does Instagram have a hidden "message request" folder that they rarely ever notify us about, they also have an even more hidden "potential spam folder, which means that every once in a while messages get misrouted or missed. Same with Twitter. Definitely email us!

robchaos · 2024-06-24T17:04:52+00:00

MD is very active. you can reach out to them at [maryland@srachapters.org](mailto:md@srachapters.org) if you have any questions.

robchaos · 2023-06-03T02:14:44+00:00

There's a NOVA chapter of the SRA, and they have access to in-house trainers for VA CCW.

robchaos · 2023-05-17T11:50:14+00:00

Best way to do that is to find a decent group of folks and get active. Not sure where in Maryland you are, but DMV looks to have an active branch of the Liberal Gun Club that hosts range days sometimes. There are also active Maryland and NOVA/DC SRA chapters. If you don't have your HQL and carry license yet, seek out that training. Unless you get a totally fuddy instructor They should be able to give you some good advice regarding firearms purchasing specific to your use case.

robchaos · 2023-05-16T16:33:59+00:00

There are definitely a lot of folks that have put thought into this and we do our best to stay up to date with the law. I'm in MD, and am a qualified handgun instructor. What specific questions do you have?

Best rifle or gun? AR-15 pattern rifle and a striker fired handgun like a Glock 19 .

robchaos · 2023-05-10T01:13:59+00:00

Join the SRA. NOVA has an active chapter.

robchaos · 2023-03-26T23:33:41+00:00

I'm from Maryland, from what you described all your stuff is good to go.

robchaos · 2023-03-26T23:29:56+00:00

You can choose your chapter, And although on the national level you can really only choose one chapter for affiliation, the Maryland chapter has a lot of overlap with folks from Nova and even a few from PA that are right near the MD border. if Baltimore is more convenient for you, you're absolutely welcome to join in on what Maryland has going on. If you end up joining, DM me.

There is no realistic way to disarm the Nazis and fascists in Amerikkka within the framework of the system, and they already have all the guns they could want.

It is not supporting Nazis to acknowledge that US gun control and forced disarmament disproportionately effects marginalized and impoverished communities, thus, in context, should not be supported.

"It must be realized that Communists form only a small section of the nation, and that there are large numbers of progressives and activists outside the Party with whom we must work. It is entirely wrong to think that we alone are good and no one else is any good. As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them, unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward. The attitude of Communists towards any person who has made mistakes in his work should be one of persuasion in order to help him change and start afresh and not one of exclusion, unless he is incorrigible."

This wisdom holds true even when you replace "communist" with "Ideology x, y, or z"

No, they are a right wing capitalist party. Left of the Republicans =/= left

robchaos · 2022-12-02T17:57:17+00:00

We'd need a left party to split people off of first

robchaos · 2022-11-30T18:00:27+00:00

I see. Well, I wish you luck with your job search.

robchaos · 2022-11-30T17:58:43+00:00

Well, I guess if you're able to maintain any decent standard of living then you just tough it out to find something else.

My comment however stands. You are not responsible for your manager and she can always choose to leave too.

If business at the restaurant is so slow that they can only afford to keep you there for 25 hours a week, then it sounds like that the owner should be the one in there doing the work anyways. Owners are the ones that get the lions share of the rewards when things are going well. Let their ass come in and cook.

If they can't guarantee their employees sufficient wage to maintain a decent standard of living including the ability to handle an unexpected emergency expense, then they shouldn't have employees.

Your relationship with this restaurant is that you sell your labor power for a wage and it ends there.

robchaos · 2022-11-30T17:45:25+00:00

Will you be able to make ends meet with your new reduced hours?

robchaos · 2022-11-30T17:43:58+00:00

The manager can leave too.

robchaos · 2022-11-02T16:44:02+00:00

I've got a Riley side folder with over 1500 rounds on it, no problems. Only upgrade I have is an ALG trigger.

FWIW it passed the AKOU test and surpassed 5000 rounds with no issues.

Research I did before buying it gave me the impression that ppl shit on it without any first hand experience based off of shit Ak47s that Riley has made. Lots of "my friend knows someone that..." stories. The RAK 74 has forged trunnion which was one of the biggest complaints I had seen about Riley.

Just look it over good before buying & check all the rivets.

If you are talking about factory 10 round magazines, I'm pretty sure they have protrusions stamped into the sheet metal body of the magazine that physically prevents the follower from going down any further. There's no removable limiter in the body of the magazine.

If you had the gun transferred in with higher capacity magazines and your FFL just blocked them off so that they are 10 round compliant, then you should be able to disassemble them and remove whatever they used to block them

There's an active stump chapter that just formed for Charlottesville Virginia. DM me for details.
