Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?

This. The circulation of fascist propaganda in particular must be curtailed and cracked down on to the greatest possible extent. Only a proletarian state can do this since a bourgeois state knowingly tolerates and cultivates fascism as a weapon against the working class and working class unity.

This.... Only a proletarian state can do this...

Sounds like not "This" at all? You don't agree with him. He's suggesting fixing it somehow within the current system.

I didn't read SU25 as saying that it could happen under the current state, just that that's the action that would need to be taken.

Edit - sorry, just realized this is an old thread. Feel free to ignore!

of course the US government will never crack down on far-right terrorism, then they'd be stopping their own activities. this is purely just my leftist proposition of something that must happen to stop a lot of mass shootings. obviously, though, the US state is more interested in protecting the profits of the gun industry and the activities of the right. this would be an essential thing for a proletarian revolutionary state to do though.

The fetishization of the second amendment by white reactionaries reveals the true intention, not as a check against a "tyrannical" government as its propagandized to be, but as a securing of settler dominance against Black and Native populations.

the right trying to “stop tyranny” is like the body trying to stop its own heart from beating.
