Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?
Objection@lemmy.ml 4 days agoWhat a bunch of delusional nonsense. If enslaved people had the opportunity to buy guns, then obviously they would have, and obviously they would’ve been right to do so. Perhaps I should avoid reading and writing, since slaves were often not permitted to learn those things.
1776 was a bourgeois revolution, it is not “my model for proletarian revolution” and I don’t have the slightest idea where you pulled that from.

1776 was the revolution where a bunch of people “bought guns” its the “individual buys a gun” revolution. You know the exact thing you’ve been saying and then getting upset whenever anyone elaborates on it in any way.

Nobody in any other revolution bought any guns.

That’s obviously not what I’m saying. Most revolutions people did not buy the gun they used. The only examples we have of ones where everyone “bought their own guns” sucks. That’s what I’m saying.

This line of “logic” is so fucking ridiculous I don’t even know how to reason with it.
Let’s say “the army” decides to start handing out guns to people. What if they don’t have enough guns to go around? Because it seems to me, that every gun a person already has is one less gun that “the army” has to procure somehow. It kinda seems like people who did the evil bad “individualist consumerism” of bringing their own guns to the revolution are actually bringing a greater contribution than they would have been able to otherwise, doesn’t it?
