Nope, the work in the community to build support since they only other folx
are neo-nazi's and the Klan. They are pro-union, pr-choice, and pro-gun,
and antiracism. They believe in protecting themselves to the extent that
the law allows and protecting those who ask their assistance, such as jewish
groups asking for security during the high holy days. Build whatever straw
man the fits your theory, but don't ignore that is being done in
urban/rural communities where multiracial groups are rejecting protest
repertoires that have been proven failures.

Do some research and see what they do WITHOUT their firearms to support
poor communities of all colors before you jump the gun.

Leaders take people into situations where the people can be massacred and
they call that revolution. It's nothing but child's play; it's folly. It's
Custeristic.

My point is that they are organizing and now showing up to act as security
for organizations that have asked them such as BLM.  but you're right of
course as military men they know to never take on a fight that is not
winnable.

So what will redneck revolt do about mountaintop removal in West 
Virginia and Kentucky? Shoot the men operating heavy equipment? What 
about the opioid crisis? Shoot the drug dealers like Mexican militias 
did a decade ago? That hardly made a dent, plus whenever there's a 
demand, a supply will emerge. That's how capitalism works, after all.


Here's something I wrote on FB that relates to this:

Jesus fucking christ. I am getting as many posts of that guy wearing a 
swastika getting punched out as I got the day after Richard Spencer got 
punched. I don't mind people sharing this utterly irrelevant video as 
long as they understand a couple of things:


1. The number one problem in the USA today is the blind forces of 
capitalism that condemns people to unemployment, homelessness, hunger, 
sickness, police brutality, ecological ruin, war, alienation and 
loneliness. Some deranged individual walking around with a swastika is 
not the same thing as the Golden Dawn or the National Front. When a 
fascist movement develops a mass base in the USA, it will not be led by 
someone walking around in a swastika. It will more likely be the stars 
and stripes borne aloft when hundreds of racists pour into a Muslim 
neighborhood in Queens to break windows and beat people up.


2. If and when a genuine fascist movement develops in the USA, it will 
require a mass movement to oppose it. It will also require an 
intelligent strategy designed to get results. If punching Nazis was the 
key to preserving democracy and making advances against corporate power, 
Hitler never would have come to power. We need a united left that is 
democratic and that can relate to people on their level of 
consciousness. To place yourself in the position of acting over their 
heads is wrong. There is Leninist arrogance and there is anarchist 
arrogance. Nobody gave groups like the SWP that I used to belong to the 
right to make decisions with little regard for what the mass movement 
thinks and the same thing applies to people dressed in black and wearing 
hobnail boots. Enough of the bullshit already.

Exactly!
Progressive vet organizing is central to mass mobilization of our movements
- and vets have too much experience in real combat to play with fire.

 In case folx don't know, there are significant numbers of vets supporting
so-called antifa, including American pit vipers, th 3%, and most
explicitly, redneck revolt.

Whether you agree with them or not they are on the scene now. And more vets
are joining everyday according to people that I talk to you in these
organizations.

Many of these vets split off from The Oath Keepers just because they
disagreed with their mainstream or right-leaning politics. They are not
about to get involved the small types crafts that are being televised
though.
