Reinforcing a strike’s picket line is “political violence”?
You need history. Lots of history.
You need guns. Not idiots with guns like the cult. Wise and disciplined people of principle who agree they’d rather not use them. We don’t even need to fire a round. Call the bluff: “Kill us, then.”
They won’t. The people will come when we call. Or, it’ll end like Les Mis. Either way it’ll be done with dignity.
