The greater Portland area chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association - a workers' gun rights and education organization comprised of anti-fascist, anti-racists.
Leftists should be building and preparing for community defense all over the country. Not later. Right now.
If shit doesn't "go down," well that's great. But what if it does? History shows that we don't live in a fairy tale.
Besides, shit's already going down.
I feel like the people who say the only problem with capitalism is "wealth concentration" never worked in a restaurant. Even the smallest business owners often abuse, degrade, and bully their employees, who they view as servants – because they can.
Capitalism itself is unjust.
“Troika of Tyranny” is the new “Axis of Evil” by the same bloodthirsty maniacs that used it to commit the greatest atrocity of my lifetime. They want to do to Latin America what they did to the Middle East.
Municipal socialism that builds up a solidarity economy of worker owned firms and publically free commons isn’t just nice in theory. It works in practice.
We can heal our shattered communities. We can overcome capitalism with radical democracy.
Let’s build it together.

To the US Soldiers being deployed to the Southern Border: We have been at war for 17 years. This year, you will spend Thanksgiving away from your families, so a man with a desk can say that he's "protecting" the US from ~5,000 unarmed poor people. Remember your oath. #SocialistRA
Capitalism NEEDS the state. It needs food stamps to supplement its underpaid workforce. It needs safety nets to prevent societal collapse. It needs police to protect property & break strikes. It needs the military to steal resources. Capitalism is a racket. The state is its goon.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos owns $160 billion. If invested at 5% it yields $8 billion yearly which is $22 million every day.
