Left-Wing Groups Take Up Arms in Name of Abolitionist John Brown

Groups In Kansas And Missouri Inspired By Civil Rights Push

Maxwell and her “comrades” are part of the mid-Missouri chapter of the John Brown Gun Club, an armed, left-leaning social justice group based in Columbia. Much like its namesake abolitionist from the Civil War era, the group advocates for racial equity, among other issues such as the Second Amendment and LGBTQ+ rights.

 

While it is attracting growing interest from younger activists in the community, groups like the John Brown Gun Club have been advocating for the abolition of police and other forms of systemic injustice since its inception. Unlike most left-leaning groups, though, gun ownership is central to its strategy.

 

“They view themselves as keeping their right to arm, and to teach and protect others that they see as vulnerable,” said Teal Rothschild, professor of Sociology at Roger Williams University. “They are interested in Marxist ideals – of keeping the state ‘in check’ — and if necessary being prepared to overthrow the state – armed – to protect their rights.”

 

Rothschild wrote a dissertation last year on the Redneck Revolt, a national network of armed, anti-fascist groups. She noted their “enemy” isn’t the far right, but rather the system.

...

A hallmark of the Redneck Revolt and its branches is the use of firearms to support those principles. Its website includes calls for an armed community defense program in every community, in response to an “upsurge in reactionary and racist violence.”

“That is the basis, that all of us are equal, and none of it gets better for any of us until it gets better for all of us. So lean on your neighbor.”

 

Until they "lean" on the wrong neighbor who doesn't agree with their BS ideals of perpetual revolution, anti-capitalism and smashing whatever they point out as "patriarchy" and "white supremacy".

Ultimately, all sides will either realize that the real problem is the massive government overreach and the assumption of powers that the Founding Fathers never intended for centralized governments to EVER possess . . . or they will end up squabbling and fighting among themselves, and thus take away the power of an organized, wide-ranging alliance made up of ALL the People to bring the government back into line by the means provided for in the Constitution.

There are a lot of leftists that are libertarian left. Pro small government, Pro 2nd amendment, and have more in common with Thomas Paine than Lenin.

 

The hilarious thing about pop conservatism is for what they dont understand about the left they understand even less of capitalist theory. Mainly because so many Trump conservatives arent members of the capital class, some claim theyre capitalists while subsisting on government paychecks, most cant tell the difference between profit/improvement and rent/landlording (in classic economic theory), and think George Soros is a communist.

 

If people took the time to understand the spectrum of the left theyd be content that more and more are advocating for arms.

 

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the people must be stopped, by force if necessary

Looks like they are armed with 91/30

 

Sure looks that way. Probably got them on one of those surplus mail order specials for $99.

 

They haven't been $99 in over a decade, but that's actually an M44 (carbine-length version of the M91/30)

 

Combined with the presence of a Yugo SKS, I'd wager one of their parents or grandparents probably just collects WW2-era Soviet-bloc weapons and they went and grabbed whatever was in the safe
