Third Guy: “Wait, seriously? Like you’re actually going to attack the fascist?”

Anarchist: “Not right away, no. First I’m going to pass out these flyers and ask people to consider changing how they view fundamental machinery of the economy. Then I’m going to try and rally people to do some good old fashioned electoral politics, while offering mutual aid to my friends and neighbors. Then I’m working to raise money for people suffering genocide abroad. Then I’m volunteering my time and talents to form an independent party structure that can operate outside the bounds of the corporately captured two-party system. And at some point down the line, a faction within my new party may engage in armed training and activism in an effort to protect the lives and livelihoods of our friends and neighbors.”

Third Guy: “That’s a lot of words, but I heard you’re going to use guns at the end, so I think you’re scary. What about you, Mr Fascist? What are you going to do?”

Fascist: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM “FUCK YOU, YOU PIECES OF SHIT! I’LL KILL YOU ALL!”
