Did you miss the part where the other user pointed out how IRL that doesn't practically apply? Succ-dems will back fascists the moment socialism or any actual leftist ideology gains influence. Their entire platform is essentially "we're against fascism and communism we're the good middle-ground". Yes and that was a different situation, tell me how many jungles you can find in Texas? Or how many areas of the USA have no government presence and are in the hands of a non-national entity. Your equivalency is as false as they come. Moreover the Vietnamese recieved roughly 1 billion dollars of Chinese and Soviet aid, and they recieved weapons other than guns; SAMs being some of the most important. Vietnams initial struggle began against the Colonial French and was interrupted by WW-2 and Japan. The French had been forced to flee Indochina and that left Vietnam in control of most of the area post-WW2. Moreover the Vietnamese were fighting foreign invaders, they were almost unanimously for the communist movement, which is why the USA diplomatically blocked their elections and placed horrendous dictators in power. They were outright created, trained, funded and given weapons by the CIA, along with the Saudi Billionare and ally Osama Bin Laden, and the Soviet losses in Afghanistan aren't even 1/10 of what the USA lost in Vietnam, despite both wars lasting almost the same amount of time and Afghanistan being made up of way more land (not to mention Pakistan's Air Force and the CIA openly providing assistance.
Your staggering lack of knowledge is amazing.
Selectively of course because that's how propaganda works. *Snip-snip*, Goebbels applauds you. Except he didn't you dumb motherfucker.

What's your opinion on dpms?
Joseph Bell
Lenin, Marx and all other socialists argue for arming of the proletariat for class-struggle. There is no 'gunsies for funsies' shit here. Guns are not a toy, and frankly the lackadaisical attitude burgers have for guns is not shared by most people in the world, regardless of political affiliation. Guns are not a right but a privilege, and a person must prove that they are responsible enough to own and wield one. Registering a weapon is not the same thing as banning or otherwise suppressing them, and even restrictions are not so simmple as "we're ufreid uv gun-owners'. That's just your trigger-happy paranoia.
Except it’s litetally unenforceable and incredibly easy to bypass. For practical purposes it doesn’t exist.
Dominic Evans
Completely wrong. They generally refer to classical liberals in Europe, not socdems larping as liberals. Adam Smith was not against private property. Did he recoginize that it's a strong contributor to inequality? Yes, but he's much closer to a Georgist than a Marxist which seeks to eschew any private property. That paragraph is what you'd find in Henry George's Progress and Poverty. I can see him supporting a high land value tax, but he does not seek to abolish private property rights as opposed to Marx.
The left wing in the US was still numerous with many organizations. Why didn't the US gun grab like the USSR? In virtually every Marxist society guns are grabbed. Even if I give you Analbania, you have literally one example. Keep DINDUing your ideology though.
Dude, leftism is BUILT upon idpol. Be it feminism, muh minority rights, lgbt rights, etc, etc. All of those fall under the left wing spectrum. All the modern day commie and socialist parties in any developed nation supports those movements. You don't get to define what a "true" leftist is. Fuck off you disingenuous shit. It is a given that studies have been conducted where brain activity is monitored and prior to making a decision, certain parts of the brain light up seconds before you conciously make that decision and you can currently give a very good prediction of what the decision will entail. Are you seriously arguing as to how this is applicable to the real world? Are you saying that the brain only functions this way during tests and not day to day life? Yes we currently cannot measure how it'd function as you go about your life because we currently don't have effective means to do so. Maybe in the future neurologists will invent portable devices that can measure brain activity and have participants in the test go about their regular lives. However I'd strongly wager I'd be proven correct, not you.
Brayden Morales
We literally have multiple neurologists stating that out conception of what free will entails is fundamentally wrong. Is my subconscious part of me? Sure. Can I actively dictate the decisions that it will reach that occur seconds before I'm actually aware and undertake said decision? No. Let me know if you actually find a way because you'd probably get a Nobel Prize for solving that. Factually wrong. Hitler massively deregulated arms for the vast majority of Germans. He literally made it so that you could acquire as many rifles and shotguns you wanted without a license. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_legislation_in_Germany#Gun_regulation_of_the_Third_Reich
There you have it. Now let me ask you a question: why doesn't Castro deregulate long guns in Cuba and allow any citizen not actively prohibited from owning them? Is it because of glow in the dark CIA agents? I thought the vast majority of Cubans supported the regime? What happened comrade? I'm sorry, did Washington go around confiscating the arms from the majority of US citizens because some of them rebelled? Nope. Absolutely no equivalent at all. I already acknowledged thos. The fundamental difference is that the US did not confiscate the guns of the majority to stop the black panthers. Even when gun grabs happen, it's much less in severity than marxist regimes in most cases. That's a fact.
Dude virtually every academic acknowledges them being on the center left of the axis. I don't give a fuck about your personal definition because nowhere is it stated that leftist views automatically equate to abolishing capitalism completely. Did you forget about Lenin's NEP? Except Putin LITERALLY said he'd support secessionists in the US. So in a civil war you'd very much likely have Russia supporting rebels. Then you can probably add China as well who at the very least will seek to undermine US hegemony in any way possible. Then you need to deal with defecting military, supplies taken from national guard armories, and such. Did you also forget the rocky mountain terrain and thick forests? Not everywhere is it plains like in the Midwest or wherever else. All in all you're going to be dealing with a very bad situation that will very much likely end up with a couple of states balkanizing (and ending up under russian influence). marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/apr/20b.htm So what did Lenin do after the revolution? He confiscated all the arms owned by peasants and imposed draconian gun laws. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_Soviet_Union OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Bentley Parker
Nigger, I don't give a fuck about Europe and the rest of the world. They have no gun rights. Fucks sake gun laws in Europe were cucked even harder recently because of Islamists shooting up Paris with smuggled AKs that came from Eastern Europe, and thus legal owners were screwed over. If the US was more to the left like European nations then we'd have no gun rights, and we'd also have unironic shit like "hate speech" laws. Screw that noise. Registration literally leads to confiscation. It's useless at solving crime and Canada got rid of their LGR because of that. tl;dr this entire board: Lmao, absolutely pathetic. I see no need to reply further because the same arguments will be repeated ad infinitum. I will leave you with one thing though: Pull up a country and almost always any support for gun rights is going to come from right wing nationalist parties. Be it Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, etc. That's a fact.
Thomas Baker
Projection, heard all of it before and we've already refuted all of it before.
Oliver Flores
Imagine being this cucked by ideology. your schizo posting indicates that you shouldnt be around guns or children
