Howdy fagboats
Just started a board of my own and our topics are pretty similar, so if anyone from here wants to cross-pollinate, it'd be nice.
>>>/rbl/ - Rebellion
Hope to see you there!
Anyone want to help me draft the bill of rights for the new country I'm going to found? Always looking for willing people to help facilitate freedom and shit.
The following is what I've gotten so far. Suggestions, revisions, and criticism are encouraged.
Article 1
Under no circumstances shall there be any legal restrictions on one's ability
to express themselves through speech, press, or any other form of communication
or broadcast.
Article 2
Weaponry being necessary to maintaining peace and civility among citizenry, as
well as warding off tyranny, there will be no legal restrictions on weaponry
one wishes to posses so long as it can also be used safely as well as in combat.
Article 3
Any act exclusively between consenting adults is not restricted by law. If something
normally deemed illegal is committed entirely between parties proven to have
consented, there is no crime.
Article 4
Those in positions of power or authority are held to a higher standard of moral
responsibility, for the sake and well being of the mass populus. Any crime
caused or facilitated by any sort of government power, or done by those in a
position of government power, shall result in severe punishment, expulsion
from positions of power and removal of authority.
Article 5
A person is entitled to control their own property and all of their possessions
therein and are allowed to restrict others ability to enter. Any property may be
defended with force by the owner or other people appointed by the owner.
Article 6
No person nor property may be seized nor searched by any sort of government authorities
unless direct evidence can be provided establishing probable cause. The only point
at which one may enter or control anothers property without consent is to stop the
violation of personal rights or other unlawful activity regardless of authority. Violation may
be overturned if probable cause is proven afterwards. No person is required by law
to incriminate themselves in any way.
Article 7
Any crime deemed severe enough will immediately be followed by a fair trial consisting
of a jury of impartial peers and legal defense. Defendants will not be imprisoned at any
point if what they are accused of does not make them a direct threat to others. Any
damages caused by false accusation will be corrected by the accusers, or may be
forgiven by the defendant on their terms.
Seven is what I'm up to now.
Nat Socs X Commies
I believe i can speak for all revolutionaries, natsoc, or commie alike when I say that we hate private bankers right?
They are the one true menace, if those disappear, then the natsoc's and commie's problems also disappear.
so, my fellow natsoces and commie brethren, why don't we unite so that we can bring down the money monster more efficiently.
NatSoc

FASCIST REVOLUTION WHEN?
remember if nobody obeys nobody rules
gonna leave some infographics and freedumz related life hacks starting with this plan for a $30 pipe shotgun
Banner dicussion
I'm sickened to see a fucking hammer and sickle as the banner of this board.
Seriously, i understand it's a symbol of revolt, but communism is cancer.
We revolutionist now
time for revolt is now, how do we go about getting the masses to realize this?
One thing I wanted to do was open my own weapons dealership, made specially to serve militias and independent security forces. Of course, it all is for the purpose of arming those either neutral to or against government control in the event of some sort of uprising/police state.
Getting started is somewhat difficult as gaining initial capital in the arms business is one of the hardest choices, but it's completely doable.
Do any of you know of any groups that would appreciate a service like this? If you had to pick a standard service rifle for rebels, what would you go with? Is anyone here planning on forming militia groups for the sake of taking up arms in the event of civil war?
Weapons general, too, I guess.

What is the Matrix?
In my opinion, The Matrix films provide the best metaphor our society has for understanding why organized evil and oppression are allowed to exist, and so I will use it for this purpose. While my interpretation isn't the only possible one, I believe it to be valid, comprehensive, and most importantly, illustrative of the message I am trying to convey.
So let's begin by discussing what the Matrix is not. The Matrix is not the physical world. As far as I'm concerned, the physical world is actually real and is in fact governed ceaselessly by the laws of physics. Conversely, the Matrix is also not the Internet, despite what many seem to believe. The Matrix spans and transcends both these worlds. It has existed since the dawn of civilization, and it will continue to exist until its collapse.
So then, what is it? Well, that's complicated. Much like in the movie, it's nearly impossible to convey the size and scope of the Matrix to someone who doesn't already see it for what it is. However, unlike the movie, I believe it is an ethical imperative to try to convey it in a literal sense, even to those who are so dependent upon the Matrix that they would fight to protect it. At worst, they won't understand or believe and will continue on about their business. In a sense, I believe Cypher was right to resent Morpheus for what he did, because Morpheus is the social structure that subordinates Humanity to its will. It is the machinery of society that exists solely to perpetuate itself, its influence, and its power independent of any human need. It insulates us from each other and ourselves through deception, and essentially transforms us into servile engines of economic and political output (power). The machines that live off this power are institutions: large corporations, governments, schools, religious institutions, and even non-profit orgs. Every institution will reach a point in its existence where its primary function becomes self-preservation and perpetuation, instead of serving human need. At this point it becomes a machine of the Matrix. For example, when they become machines, governments cease to serve people and instead seek to extend their power over them; corporations prioritize increasing shareholder value over producing quality products or otherwise serving the public good; schools view students as a means and not an end; religious organizations equate membership with salvation (and actively oppose other teachings and even independent practice); and non-profits and charities spend more budget on fund raising activity than on their original focus. Inevitably all large institutions eventually become machines. They become too big for Humanity.
In addition to the independent self-perpetuating machines that write most of our paychecks, the Matrix has several major cooperative and more actively sinister groups of machines subsisting off of its power and directly contributing to the structure of the Matrix itself. These groups are the Military Industrial Complex, the Political Industrial Complex, the Prison Industrial Complex, the Surveillance Industrial Complex, the Media Industrial Complex, the Academic Industrial Complex, the Agricultural Industrial Complex, the Medical Industrial Complex and the major religious organizations (not to be confused with actual religions, many religious organizatons have abandoned the underlying principles of the religions they claim to represent). All machines in these groups either actively oppress humanity, or enable the oppression to persist. It is through their combined efforts that the Matrix takes on some of its more distasteful qualities.
Quotes
post quotes“In order to overthrow capitalism it was necessary not only to remove the bourgeoisie from power, not only to expropriate the capitalists, but also to smash entirely the bourgeois state machine, its old army, its bureaucratic officialdom and its police force, and to substitute for it a new, proletarian form of state, a new, socialist state.”
- Joseph Stalin
"A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." - Chairman Mao Zedong
"Like spring, I will treat my comrades warmly… And to class enemies, I am cruel and ruthless like harsh winter."
"I will go up mountains of knives and down into seas of flames." - Comrade Lei Feng of the People's Liberation Army speaking on his willingness to sacrifice for Comrade Mao Zedong, helmsman of the revolution
“There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.” - Comrade Jiang Qing

Nice board!
Hello, /revolution/. I just wanted to let you know that I'm the new board owner of >>>/kind/, and I'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to drop in and say hello. It's not really devoted to the discussion of topics pertaining to politics, but I think kindness is or should a virtue valued by all, irrespective of political affiliation!
Check out our politics thread: >>>/kind/221
Did you know that if half the city of Chicago revolted,the military would need support from Europe?this board is pointless since a successful revolution is so inevitable,just w8 for economic collapse and it's all over
