“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League (1850)

Whose a Marxist?

Anyone that actually reads the address would know what Marx was talking about and why he made that statement.

Somewhat apples to oranges when considering the 2nd Amendment and why that was made.

Name a Marxist regime that didn't institute gun control soon after they got into power.

Those of us on the right have been advocating this since forever. Why is it that you dum dum "progressives" won't listen to Marx, who is arguably the most famous leftist who ever lived?

The "workers", the proletariat. Marx is saying that only the proletariat should be armed.

Just like Lenin said the police should be abolished and replace with the proletarist's police force.

Do you honestly want the CDP's militant wing to be the only mother****ers in The United States that are allowed to own guns and become the national police force?

New to me. And if you never heard that quote, it's new to you too.

Do more research and you'll learn just how badly you misinterpreted that quote...lol
