    I totally get that fighting within the context of the current system is immensely frustrating to many, especially since even unambiguous victories still take years to come to fruition. But there is a reason that people who aren’t right-wing chuds or tankies aren’t ready to go to the streets with their guns yet, and that’s because civil wars are really fucking bad. Best case scenario they end up with several years of active, infrastructure-destroying war in which no government services are reliable, no protections to the weak and downtrodden are afforded, and have a decades-long insurgency that has to be crushed bit by bit, usually with great cost to civil rights.
