The black panther party needs to come back again. USA needs a revolution.
Just remember how scared and violent the Philidelphia police got when they felt threatened by the Black Panthers in the 80’s. The MOVE bombing.
If you are a black Panther, but an Arch user as well:
“I feel like we’re welcome,” said one member, also carrying a firearm, who identified himself as Comrade Arch. He said he was a fan of the original group growing up, and he joined a few months ago. “I’ve always had a revolutionary spirit.”
We need more self-defense (or community defense) now more than ever. For Renee Nicole Good.
The article is behind a paywall.
My computer is loading it fine, try incognito
good for them
when somebody on the right says “this is just asking for trouble”, tell them that Kyle Rittenhouse went there to defend businesses (not even people) and they approved of his actions, and so they can shut the fuck up
Don’t even try to give them an argument, tell them to shut the fuck up. Never give them validity to their bullshit arguments.
The best argument against people who argue in bad faith is “I don’t care” and move on.
in practice, yes this is what I actually say. fuck 'em, there’s no discussion to be had with them anyways. but the full form mention of Rittenhouse is clear cut and indefensible by their own logic (but yes we all know that their own logic is not actually logic yaddayaddayadda)
Historically, angry Marxist-Leninists with guns have been very useful allies in dealing with NAZIs! But history suggests that things didn’t work out too well afterwards, for those ruled by the angry Marxist-Leninists with guns …
Are Black Panthers marxist-leninists?
They at least used to be …
The Black Panther Party was. Not to say these guys are tho.
ok looking into this more they just liked revolutionary movement and anti-capitalist and anti-imperialism agenda which is basically cherry picking the “duuuh” parts out of generally awfuly evil ideology.
I wonder if that is this.

It does not appear to be that at all.
Are they trying to get Rupublicans to pass more gun control? Cause historically that’s how that happens
Hey, my city is on Lemmy!
wait… shit… my city is in the news…
shit’s about to go down… 👀
Fuck yes! Show them something more than a sign saying “I’m not very happy about the current state of affairs. Sorry”!
Agreed! We should all take example from the Marxist-Leninists over at the Black Panthers and organize to protect each other from the fascists in power in the US and in the EU!
Reminder to everyone that the hugely successful and wonderful original Black Panther Party were considered “authoritarian” and “violent” by the majority of whites back in the day. The Black Panthers were OG Tankies in every sense of the word, and they were incredibly good as a consequence. From Wikipedia:
The Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was an American far-left, Marxist–Leninist and black power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966
Regarding a visit of Huey P. Newton to China:
During the trip, the Chinese arranged for him to meet and have dinner with an ambassador from North Korea, an ambassador from Tanzania, and delegations from both North Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam.[44] Newton was under the impression he was going to meet Mao Zedong, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, but instead had two meetings with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. One of these meetings also included Mao’s wife Jiang Qing. Newton described China as “a free and liberated territory with a socialist government”
THESE are the people that we disregard and insult and call “tankies”!!
Eeeeyyyy, the Black Panthers are still a thing?
They never stopped being a thing
Are they still marxista-leninist?
BPP- the heroes White America doesn’t deserve.
Hell yeah, the Black Panthers are exactly the heroes we need right now.
Agreed! Just to remind everyone, from Wikipedia:
The Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was an American far-left, Marxist–Leninist and black power political organization
Marxism-Leninism offers answers to the literal problems we’re living today. Organize and read!!
Fuck yeah! More violence! Let the blood run through the streets, may your children grow up without fathers, and your daughters carry your replacement for the front.
Self defense is not violence.
didn’t realize trying to deter people from committing violence by showing that you can defend yourself was itself committing violence
“Rather live oppressed than die free”.
- You, probably.
“mmmmm. Boot. My favorite!”
That guy, almost certainly
“Tread harder on me, Daddy!”
- Their flags and cum socks
Congrats on getting the most downvotes I think I’ve seen someone get on Lemmy in a long time.
Thanks, I’m hoping the advertisers will notice.
They won’t lmao.
We didn’t start the bloodshed, the Republicans are attacking us and we are merely defending our safety.
There is a whole universe of difference between Black Panthers present as an armed deterrent to defend protesters peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights, and agents provocateurs there to start shit and raise hell to light the match for the real violence against all of us to begin.
Or, to put it more simply, do you see these guys shooting? No. You do not. You see them walking calmly in open carry. That is not violent protest; it is a very strong preventive of violent protest.
And frankly you sound angrier about that than you do the reason the Black Panthers are there in the first place. Maybe go read something about the Black Panthers, starting with the above article. You might learn something. They are on the side of the community, first and foremost. That may not be your side, but it sure as fuck is mine.
Idiot, truly.
may your children grow up without fathers, and your daughters carry your replacement for the front.
At the current rate you, your wife and your children will die in a concentration camp or get executed for looking at a fed the wrong way. Better to die resisting than while licking boot.
They have committed no acts of violence. Arguably they are the most effective deterrent
I’d hate to see them shoot anyone in the face, like some kind of ICE agent, that sure would be terrible. Expect that they don’t. They are defensive, they are heroes, take your rhetoric of imagined violence and shove it up your ass where the real brutalization and murder of innocence lives.
Maybe you shouldn’t have voted for this then. Weird how the one not wanting bloodshed is the one perfectly fine with what’s going on.
