Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I'm not advocating for violence. More so "a well regulated militia" which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

They didn't grow up isolated in a country 50x the size of Italy with a completely different system of values and it isn't legal for their newspapers and government to use propaganda against them.

Tbh i don't even think half the country knows what a strike is, let alone has class consciousness

If you feel like participating you can go fill out a strike card.

The working people of italia are all joined by a single piece of spaghetti

it isnt legal for their newspapers and govt to use propaganda against them and a different system of values

I'm sorry, what?

Mussolini's grandchild literally represents Italy in the European Parliament, you're pretending america is some special fascist wonderland, when it's just a culture built on dispossession, which plenty of Italians have migrated to, contributed to, and benefitted from

I'll give you one thing, Italy has a much higher union density than the usa (30% compared to 10%), i know for a fact it's near impossible to get younger folk in a settler nation to join a union

anyway whatever, watching a bunch of yanks suddenly start up with has anyone thought about a general strike? will never not give me a laugh

join your union, read Lenin, start exercising
