I was just thinking along this same line two days ago. My fucking petite bourgeois family was talking about how, in Cuba, Venezuela, etc; that the people have “no weapons” and, as a result, they can never oppose supposed “socialist electoral rigging” or “dictatorships” (I imagine you get what I mean, it’s that same bullshit capitalist propaganda). These same stupid assholes will never use the guns they have for “protecting our rights”, and “protecting our communities against the government”. Without political and class consciousness, they’ll never get further than mild discontent. They’ll never raise a barrel if they already have accepted it as normal, they’re so atomized from one another that they cannot form any sort of collective resistance- if push comes to shove.
