So, there IS a history of armed resistance in this country by progressive forces. I read of labor and socialist groups forming militias after the Civil War, to fight off the company goons and state forces, militia and police, who were NOT the workers’ friends. With the armed right-wing-ding loonies nowadays, do we on the Progressive Left need to arm ourselves again?
