Things have gotten so bad in America that they no longer view voting and protesting as a viable way to achieve change in the system. As a result, more and more of them are calling for a revolution—and not all of them think peace is an option. In this video, we’ll discuss how declining material conditions, the collapse of the state, and rise of fascist authoritarianism has led to a conversation about the need to rise up and overthrow the system.

Okay, but a lot of the people who have and use guns are on the side of the authoritarians.

I wager that they're probably just more vocal about it. There is a lot of work to do to build a bigger and stronger resistance, but if it came down to it I think only 25% of the civilian gun owners would be fighting for the Trump Admin's civil war. The bigger issue is the non-civillian guns and tanks and bombs.
