  • I am not advocating anything, but the history of the IRA has shown that if you are going up against a modern surveillance state and intelligence agencies (MI5/MI6 or FBI/CIA), as of the beginning of the 21st century, the optimal cell size for an insurgency is 3-4 people per cell.

    The Kalashnikov is generally all-around optimal for an insurgency. But within the US, the Armalite is likely the weapon platform to chose for supply and availability reasons.

    Unrelated quote: Mao said, “The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.”

    Since Democracy has ended and everyone here is antifascist, I thought I should share this, despite being comments that don’t advocate for anything. Since .world is so committed to opposing a Trump fascist regime, they might need such information soon.

  • No, at no point did the Centre try to form a coalition with the KPD, but were turned down. In the Weimar system, it is the Chancellor that is in charge of forming coalitions, so even if the KPD, SPD, and Centre had enough seats to form a majority (which they didn’t), they couldn’t just form a coalition. This is why Franz Von Papen was appointed by Hindenburg, since he was expected to be able to convince the Centre party and Nazis to form a coalition with the conservatives and monarchists. And why when that failed and there was a failure to form a ruling coalition that Hindenburg appointed Hitler as chancellor to create a Nazi lead coalition.


  • A vote for third party is a vote for Harris. You have to hold your nose and vote Trump!

    But seriously, Libertarians are the largest third party by quite a margin. So third parties actually help Democrats. It is just the Democrats mentality that they are owed votes for not being Republicans, rather than a candidate’s or party’s job to try to appeal to voters that this narrative is pushed forward.




  • No, that still incorrect. First, KPD, SPD and Centre did not have an outright majority together. Second, it is the Chancellor that is in charge of forming coalitions, they can’t just form a coalition if they had an outright majority anyway in the Weimar system and at no point did Centre try to form a coalition and was turned down by the KPD. The entire point of Hindenburg appointing Franz Von Papen was that he thought that he could convince both the Nazis and Centre to form a coalition with the conservative and monarchist parties. And the reason later to appoint Hitler as chancellor was to form a Nazi led coalition.

    I’d take it more seriously if the Democrats did or treated this as a serious issue. Instead they use it as an excuse to be 99% fascist and use it as an excuse to not campaign or take up popular issues because if they lose, it is because the voters didn’t fight to have 99% fascism instead of 100% fascism.
