Ugh. I still hate guns. Guns kill people and the US obsession with them will never make sense to me.
But at this point it’s probably good that it’s not only the supporters if the lunatic fascist oligarchy that are armed. It hurts to admit, but I’d rather see a Nazi shot dead than a decent human being. Heck, if I were in the US I might learn how to shoot a gun at this point.
Marx died around the time that automatic firearms became a thing. For fighting tyranny bolt actions are solid. For mass murdering defenseless children, automatic weapons are more suited.
On the other hand if Marx had witnessed modern surveillance capitalism, he might had advocated for everyone to own automatic grenade launchers…
For Guerilla warfare you don’t seek an “open battle”, but rather surprise attacks.
Ofc. it goes from using simpler weapons to conquering more advanced weapons from the regime, or making Police/Army units defect with their equipment.
Finally a murderous regime will not crack down on Guerillas by fighting them directly, but mostly through terrorizing all Civilians in the hope of hitting the Guerillas too.

Marx said workers should be armed. That sentiment didn’t come out of nowhere; shit like this is the reason why.

Are you aware of what gear the tyrants’ armies have? They’re not going to be fiddling around with bolt action rifles, I can tell you that much.
Guns are a tool, and horrible people using fully auto weapons isn’t a good reason for us to avoid them.
