Subject: Christopher Helali (Communist) Position on 2A
Greetings,
I hope this email finds you and your loved ones well! Here is my position on the Second Amendment:
Communists (Marxist-Leninists) believe that gun ownership is a class right. The working class should be armed against the capitalist ruling class and their armed gangs and lackeys. In an Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League in 1850, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels stated, "The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens’ militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed. Where the formation of this militia cannot be prevented, the workers must try to organize themselves independently as a proletarian guard, with elected leaders and with their own elected general staff; they must try to place themselves not under the orders of the state authority but of the revolutionary local councils set up by the workers. Where the workers are employed by the state, they must arm and organize themselves into special corps with elected leaders, or as a part of the proletarian guard. Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
All the Best,
Chris |
