@laetsgo This is true. Every 30 years or so our government has violently crushed left wing protest movements, from the IWW at the turn of the 20th Century, on through the Occupy and Black Lives Matter movements in our present day. Dozens of times.
I just wish fear of repression didn't stop us - because the repression will always be there, and if we won't fight the police in the streets, the fascists will continue to win.
