With the last few decades showing an increase in mass shootings, including in schools, many people now clamor for gun control, begging the same people who routinely commit genocide to take away guns from the proletariat. Many members of right wing organizations who support gun rights believe the fallacy that gun control is a left wing, particularly "communist" idea. The truth however shows that governments who seize guns are more typically right wing governments like Nazi Germany and the British Empire.
In fact, as I was just pointing out to some rather childish gun control supporters on facebook, you can not be both a communist and support gun control, it literally goes against the spirit and word of communism. In order for communism to work, the proletariat must be able to defend themselves and each other.
As Karl Marx, one of two people who are widely considered the "fathers" of communism said,
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.
Now while literally trillions of dollars and millions of lives have been spent to demonize communism in the western world, it not only remains true, but is more clearly so because of said expenditure, that communism is to put it simply, power to the people. However this is not the only group of people who support gun rights, in fact disparity often breeds similarity, as mentioned above, some modern right wing organizations support gun right and have since the political climate change that saw the left and right wings of politics change in the USA.
Among these groups are the libertarians (originally a left wing term and still so in much of the non-American world,)and republicans. Now while I disagree with these groups on most things as I believe humans have basic rights beyond bearing arms, having religion, and owning property, and they typically do not. But, I will go on record as saying that in order to preserve the little bit of freedom and peace which still exists in this world, I will side with a gun rights activist regardless of his political affiliation before I side with a would be communist who wants to give the bourgeoisie even more power.
So to summarize, gun control is bad as evidenced by its historical use leading to slavery and genocide, I as a communist will side with my most antithetical socioeconomic opponents to protect gun rights, because, without weaponry no group can defend itself from those who would subvert and destroy them.
Taking away guns from the innocent only empowers the guilty. Upvote and resteem if you agree we need to unite and defend our gun rights as it is required to defend all other rights.
