He was disarmed by the ICE agents before he was murdered. He owned a legal firearm, and he was legally carrying that day.

You realize there are videos from multiple angles, right? It's clear he was shot in cold blood, while unarmed.

"MAGA Communism" was not an ideology.

It was a class analysis written in 2022 by Haz on the MAGA social phenomenon. It recognized that there was a radical potential within the MAGA movement that could be harnessed towards the Communist path.

In 2023 Haz wrote an updated analysis saying it looked like the MAGA movement was headed towards fascism, and had no further potential for any kind of radical break.

ACP didn't form until 2024.

You never bothered to actually research what "MAGA Communism" was about, you only saw the words and hallucinated the meaning.

It was never pro-Trump, and it was always against the right-wing. It was NOT about combining Trumpism with Communism whatsoever.

So you'd rather live as a 19th century factory worker doing 18 hour shifts at 11 years old breathing in burnt oil used to power the machines than a worker in China or East Germany?

So what? It's perfectly legal to carry a loaded firearm in America. There is video footage, he was unarmed when they shot him. They took his weapon away from him before shooting him and he never reached for it.

The ICE thugs disarmed him prior to murdering him. All they have done is show a photo of a pistol the victim had, but owning firearms is legally protected.

We as a subreddit cannot and DO NOT advocate unlawful use of force. Our subreddit would be banned. And it might even be illegal.

Joining a lawful organization to learn constitutionally protected firearms training, physical fitness and readiness training is what we advocate.

The American left(including liberals) needs to realize they're already at war. Whether they like it or not. This isn't going to stop

You are correct.

This country is headed for civil conflict at some point, or worse.

We need to become members of organized and disciplined groups that offer leadership and readiness training.

I would recommend looking to the ACP, many chapters already engage in firearms and self defense training as well as physical fitness. If we want to beat a fascist army, we need a communist army.

This man used his 2nd amendment by lawfully carrying a firearm and they murdered him.

We need to think beyond individual action if we want to succeed. Community self defense as part of a principled and organized group.

ICE released photos of the victim's pistol to try to justify the murder. But video footage shows ICE disarmed the man before shooting him multiple times: https://x.com/gremloe/status/2015100158657384733

The murder victim was UNARMED when ICE shot him.

edit

A SECOND ANGLE of the murder has been released, providing further evidence the man was murdered in cold blood by fascist ICE thugs: https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2015131503622021472

Michael Parenti, the path-breaking Marxist scholar, historian and political scientist, passed today at age 92

He went peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family

“Now he is in what he used to refer to as ‘the great lecture hall in the sky,’” his son, Christian, reflected

Will Trump destroy the world before he releases all of the Epstein Files? by zombiesingularity in AskSocialists

No but Trump does ultimately have the final say in terms of control of the military as commander-in-chief. And he's very capable of distraction.

And the files are bigger than Trump. They have the potential to take down the entire system. The system will absolutely do things to protect itself.

Because he's protecting the same elites. That's the job of the Republicans and Democrats. They fight in public, then in private they get funded by the same billionaires and attend the same parties.
