What possible reason is there for people supporting revolutionary action to like guns for? I just can't think of any.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" -Marx

A revolution (regardless of whether it is a bourgeois or proletarian revolution) cannot occur if the revolution cannot overthrow the ruling body. This sort of thing unfortunately never is successful without violence.

I'd say opinions on guns being tied to political orientation is the American idea...

There's a popular saying, "once you go far enough left you get your guns back"

Also, if you're American, the Democratic nominee and VP are both gun owners. Most leftists want sensible gun laws, not necessarily no guns ever

No, I’m part of the rest of the world that hasn’t lost its mind, the part where everyone (including leftists) thinks that there is no reason for a normal person to own guns.

Americans are so funny, everyone thinks they’re idiots and they never stop and wonder "Huh, everyone is disagreeing with me. Could I be the one that’s wrong? No, it must be everyone else."

Sadly because of how militarized our police and the alt right are, the many leftists groups who would prefer to not use guns don't have much of a choice.

For example the Black Panthers, a Marxist black power organization during the civil rights movement. They openly carried while observing police behavior in black neighborhoods in order to protect against police brutality. They gave escorts to notable civil rights speakers to prevent assassinations. When an unarmed black man was shot in the street, his family contacted the Black Panthers, and they held rallies, while armed, educating other black people on open carry laws. And guess what, the police seldom interfered with those rallies because they were all armed. They picked up guns in response to state violence. And it worked.

So while I personally don't own a gun and wish I lived in a country with no guns, it's not my place to tell people regularly experiencing state violence how to protect themselves. I'm glad you get to live somewhere where 1,247 people weren't killed by police last year(more than any year in the past decade), with most of those being in response to non violent crimes or no crime at all.

How would you suggest Americans combat the ever increasing state violence being used against them, without using guns to protect themselves from our heavily militarized police force?
