then how should they defend their communities? what would you do to organize your neighbors and keep themselves safe from unidentified goons dressed driving around in vehicles that are not clearly identified as being goons, sometimes even masquerading as delivery vehicles?

also the scale of violence is so wildly disproportionate that it's EXTREMELY hard to take you serious. ICE: murdering people in the street for being brown or in the way. popular decentralized organization: making sure they know who's coming in and out of their community not through a digital panopticon but by coordinating observations.

like… do you also consider the zapatistas an authoritarian power structure? popular front in palestine? the rojava?
