Yes, the politics of these groups can be problematic in that they
often are trying to mesh Anarchists, Marxists, Communists, and MLM
folks together, but they have taught thousands of folks on the left
how to safely use firearms for protection and organized working class
folks of all colors in both rural communities and cities alike.
They also serve as a symbol of a left that is not hamstrung by demands
for "peaceful protests" and not afraid to commit to the fight or to
put their bodies on the line (See their actions in Charlottesville).
Mind you these are not the folks who are not only "deplatforming" the
alt-right in places like Berkeley and Portland, but living and working
in rural communities where they face fascists in their community daily
(such as local police forces who are often openly supportive of Proud
Boys and 3 percenters. Instead of looking down our noses at them, we
need to support them ideologically and materially wherever and
whenever we can.
This is pure stupidity. Not as if it doesn't have a tragic precedent.
