    That’s a complete fantasy. People don’t rape, don’t assault, others because of only money. Yes, capitalism increases those harms. But drug addicts will exist in any society, for a variety of reasons, as long as drugs are possible to access (so off the bat there is questionable), and you can do harm reduction for that. But beyond that, there people out there who get a power high off of abusive others. There will still be that crime.

    I’m well aware of everything you said, I just have a bit less faith in the default good of humanity. There will still be abusers and rapists.

    I have to admit we need arms and to train and organise ourselves well. Not voting has never helped do anything (unless if a minimum turnout is necessary to validify the results), other than democracies strongly disapproving of results.

    Of course. To defeat fascism, at a minimum we need to be doing protests that have a real threat behind them. A lot harder to break up a crowd when we have assault rifles.
