Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?

    What’s a downvote?

    This was one of my ideas from anarchism that I carried over to Leninism that I think is applicable to any citizen’s militia. Obviously, I could point to reactionary militias in the US to see how the idea could be corrupted, but if you’re at that point already…

    It also means that the community has a Space for regular training of skills relevant to insurgency, in case a larger state rolls by.

    Idk, I’d be happy to bash out more ideas regarding this.

      Downvotes are when people click the arrow pointing down to say that they don’t like what you’re writing. Maybe it’s because your idea is a bit utopian since I’m not sure it could be implemented in practice in any near future but at the same time the same general idea can be adapted with stronger political structures like a revolutionary party so I’d say it’s worth discussing!
