Attacks on left wing protesters, Black Live Matter and Antifa, allow us to test class warfare

 By SJ Otto

We are starting to see actual class warfare between the far right political factions and the left wing factions in America today. This is a war that has actual casualties. People are being shot and run over with cars and trucks by right-wing ass holes that have targeted Black Lives Matter groups, as well as other left wing factions, such as Antifa. Among the right-wing militia groups include a group known as Proud Boys.

 

According to the BBC:

 

“Proud Boys - which The Southern Poverty Law Center, a major US civil rights organisation, has classified as a hate group - have been involved in previous far-right rallies, and violent street clashes, in Portland….

…. As well as Proud Boys, a number of other far-right groups said they would be there - including the American Guard, which the Anti-Defamation League has called "hardcore white supremacist", and the militia group Three Percenters.”

 

We have already had some shootings of protesters and some anti-protesters. Despite the obvious acts of murder, there are right wing people trying to defend Kyle Rittenhouse, who deliberately shot and killed two protesters, while wounding one more.  

According to Yahoo News:

“Rittenhouse's attorneys have said he acted in self-defense and have portrayed him as a courageous patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms during a night of unrest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black. And his arrest has become a rallying point for some on the right, with a legal defense fund that has attracted millions in donations. But others see Rittenhouse as a domestic terrorist whose presence with a rifle incited the protesters.”

Also, some of these left wing protesters have fought back. They are not just allowing the right to use them as door mats. When a right winger drove his truck through a crowd of protesters in Wichita, he got out and flashed his gun. One of the protesters pulled out his own gun and that right wing ass hole got back in his truck and spun away, like the coward he was.

 

From ABC News:

“A pickup truck hit a protester Thursday night in Hollywood, California, and moments later a second vehicle hit a car participating in the same protest as it tried to leave the area, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The "largely peaceful" group of protesters began marching around 7 p.m. local time with only isolated reports of vandalism, but shortly after 9 p.m., things turned violent when a blue pickup truck traveling on Sunset Boulevard maneuvered through the crowd and became involved in an altercation, according to authorities. The driver of the truck attempted to get away from the situation, but police said he struck a protester standing in the street.

The Protester hit by the truck was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. 

A short time later, a white Prius attempted to drive around the same protest, but a truck involved in the protests pinned the Prius in, forcing it to stop. Police said the driver of the Prius put the car in reverse to leave the area but then hit a green Mustang that was also participating in the protest.

Protesters tried to remove the driver of the Prius from his vehicle, but LAPD said he was able to get away from the scene. There were no injuries reported in the second incident. Police said they have detained the driver.”

So the protesters were fighting back and apparently the right wing jerk who drove into the crowd didn’t realize those people would fight back. They seemed really surprised that a left wing activist would defend him/her self. By now these cowards must realize that attacking left wing activist might actually have consequences. There seems to be this misconception that left wing activist will just turn and run when confronted by right wing red neck jerks. SURPRISE! That is not what is happening.

While I have expressed skepticism of the ability to launch a people’s war here in the US, we are seeing left wing protesters willing to fight for their rights to be in the streets protesting. This may be a great opportunity for the left to test the abilities to fight against right wing militias. This is another opportunity to see of we can take on right wing factions and win. And it is another opportunity to test the ideas of people’s war.
