    The crazy thing is successful armed uprising in the name of these left-wing movements generally ended up with fascist leadership.

    I think in theory leftism isn’t interested in guns, but obviously as a slave accepting your chains won’t evoke change. Problem is guns are not very effective against the state military apparatuses in the modern world now. Not unless those militaries mutiny.

      Huh? I think you’re confusing authoritarianism and fascism, you may not like either - but they are different things.
