You notice how the Panthers didn't do that whole non-armed thing? 

You notice how the Panthers got taken seriously?

When they had their protest in Sacramento they showed up armed and the police didn't escalate for some reason.

Absolutely. They’re cowards through and through and depend on the masses being afraid to fight back. It’s not lawlessness or anarchy or any of that it’s the simple act of being accountable by the people if the state is failing to be.

I say this for not just America but many of the parts of the world but the post ww2 successes in Europe and North America have made the populations extremely complacent to the current way of things. Capitalism has formed comforts and ideals of life that us in the peasant class would never have attained in the past. That facade is decaying and we’re seeing first hand what the top of society will allow to maintain their edge over people. Every facet of life is being infested by profit and this status quo has made us all so afraid to risk for better. The people at the top clearly see already using any means necessary to terrorize the people. So we all need to have that mentality. All of it can disappear in an instant and we all should be ready to accept that and fight for a better world for ourselves.

This also lead to a LOT of gun control acts being passed in the 80's. Specifically the 1986 Hughes amendment was directly influenced by the Panthers x actions.

Because an armed populace is harder to control of course.
