May Day is a great holiday, but I would have preferred a functioning Knights of Labor.

I will admit that I am weak on labor history and want to learn more.

I'd recommend the Story of the Battle of Blair Mountain. It's about the was against ~10,000 coal minors in West Virginia in 1921. It's the only time american planes dropped bombs on American soil during a battle.

Found the quote I was looking for, ironically in a Civ discussion:

quote:

Had we adopted non-violence as the weapon of the strong, because we realised that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over or we were in a position to wield conventional weapons. But as I have already said, we adopted it out of our helplessness. If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.

(It may have come off wrong in my earlier post, but learning about this raised my opinion of Gandhi, all the questionable stuff about the man aside. I just think America created a simulacrum of the man, like they did with MLK, that does not jive with the actuality of him)

I'll check that out.

I know that, but "Nazism is inherently violent" has a tough time competing against footage of white men ("He could be my son!") getting run over.

The Gandhi quote is a good one. Saul Alinsky brings it up in Rules for Radicals.

I ain't white. I'm happy with anti-fa when they do things like shielding BLM or doxxing Nazis, but I don't want there to be any escalation of violence. It's not just a philosophical thing, it's tactical.

For gently caress's sake, being black in America means living under perpetual threat of arbitrary execution. BLM taking to the streets is already an enormous risk on their part. Why would groups that claim to be their allies want to make things more difficult for them?

Some people can put on a mask, beat up a Nazi and run away. Others won't be as lucky.

Yes, if we are nice to them and try using reason and logic then maybe this will be the time that Nazis will politely engage with the untermensch.

Update on the shooter(s)

http://www.kcra.com/article/3-officers-shot-near-sacramento-county-motel-3-people-detained/12140437

Sounds like no terrorist, just normal poo poo heads shooting at cops. Multiple related suspects which is why there were confusing reports of multiple shooters.

The nazis attacked first in Charlottesville, there's video of it. They came with clubs, shields, body armor, and firearms. Also nazi flags.

I understand you get to handwave this poo poo away because it's all theory to you but Nazis killed like half my family. They absolutely are a threat to you and everyone you know.

I am not referring specifically to Charlottesville, I am not referring only to nazis, but to the entire alt-right and friends all over the place, and with respect: I am not handwaving this poo poo away. And this is not "all theory" to me.

"If you're not with antifa you're with the nazis" is a bad way to dismiss any discussion of the matter and it's also bullshit reasoning to say that nonviolence always means "being nice" or trying to engage nazis in a polite discussion.

The problem with legitimizing violence as a form of political action is that nobody has a monopoly on violence.
