Lehr und Wehr Verein ("Educational and Defense Society") was a socialist military organization founded in 1875, in Chicago, Illinois. The group had been formed to counter the armed private armies of companies in Chicago.

Never heard of them before. As a response to worker self-organization the state made it so that all militias had to register with the state and wouldnโ€™t you know the state made it illegal for revolutionary worker militias to exist above the board. In response, Lehr und Wehr Verein made a 2A legal appeal.

In a strange twist we now see 2A absolutists carving space for themselves but in doing so also space for armed radicals, socialists, anarchists, communists, and leftists broadly to re-emerge.

No, #bothsidesism, is the way to normalize #fascist, and maybe even ideas of #totalitarianism 4 mainstream thinking.
In 1949-1966, the great #GermanAmerican #historian #HannahArendt wrote in her book, The Origins of Totalitarianism:

โ€œIn an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the #masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.โ€
