Alright, so I won't go too much into it, but as I'm sure you've all noticed, there is a distinct lack of competent organizations and combat readiness in the left. While it may just be a stereotype, the idea of the skinny and weak anarchist can sum up most of the left that wishes to engage in direct action, mostly by using outdated manuals and romanticized ideas of war. As such, I had, a few years ago, taken it upon myself to release training videos to some of you in order to get you up to speed on the basics of the basics. That, unfortunately, seems to have fallen through on the account of my job, which often has me traveling and doing other things that I won't go into because they are totally uninteresting and unrelated to the topic at hand. As such, we will go into a few key steps you should be taking in order to prepare yourself for introductory training, should it ever be offered to you. Yes, you read that correctly, you must train yourself to be trained. You do not have the luxury of being part of an organized military force, though I would not critique you if that is the route you are wanting to take, as it would be hypocritical. I will limit the topic to individual training, equipment, and self-selection because the whole of military science is a broad topic that is not wholly known by any one individual. Please understand this so that my limitations do not become a hindrance to your growth as a potential combat soldier. Seek training from experienced individuals, even if you have to hide your power level. Consider me just another voice on the internet. I do not intend to use credentials or authority on the subject to get you to do as I say, but I would appreciate it if you thought about a few things. Thank you for reading.

>>1075I think plausible deniability is key. protests are recorded + they run facial recognition etc on them so you are running a risk there. Info tied to your real name online can be picked by an algorithm. A union vote or workplace politics will have your name on it, but it's fairly milquetoast and you can play the social democrat. The "assigned FBI agent" thing is a meme, in reality your biggest danger is any kind of automated surveillance, and provided you avoid that, you should be fine.
>>1270Do not buy an AK. I physically cringe whenever I see any leftist with an AK because it indicates to me that said person is motivated primarily by larp/aesthetics rather than practicality.
AR's are cheaper in the US, they will have parts and training compatibility with most other people, furthermore, they are more ergonomic(safety, bolt, ease of mounting optics and lights) and ballistically superior (hence everyone moving over to a 5.56-like cartridge from EU to China).
The AR-15 is the people's weapon of the United States. You will get an AR like everyone else and you will fall in line.
>>1151>buy a wasr>use soviet surplus>milsurp flak jacket>ar500 steel plates>STEEL HELMETS>buy a tanklol, lmao. the only thought provoking thing in that entire post is the idea of buying a private plane or helicopter, because they are *relatively* inexpensive (I imagine maintenence costs are heinous though). It's an interesting idea.
one thing they say is that Tactics, Strategies and Logistics are all interlinked, where can i learn each of these ?.
Should I get a concealed carry permit in my state? Essentially they want fingerprints and Id and whatnot, so I'd be handing all that info over to the feds. But then again, I have a drivers license already so what do I have to lose.
>>2349>Should I get a concealed carry permit in my state? Essentially they want fingerprints and Id and whatnot, so I'd be handing all that info over to the feds.As you said, you already have a driver's license. Get a concealed carry permit, and use it! Get something compact, Glock 19 or smaller, and actually carry it around with you.
Nothing makes me more mad than guys with a concealed carry permit that just leave their guns at home.
Uhh so I was watching some Iraq firefights and the army was using 50 cal and just destroying the shit out of wherever fighters were positioned.
They werent even aiming really, just blasting 50 cal bullets through everything. How the fuck does one survive this shit or even fight back? The only thing I can think of doing would be run like a bitch to a new location and hope you dont get obliterated

Never engage unless you can win, never engage on your opponents terms, etc.
>>1453a good idea would be to organize some sort of "marxist camping" party activity as a cover up for guerrilla recruitment/training. Like, go camping with your comrades or youth league members and see if there is potential to form a squad. at first play airsoft in the woods or larp maybe and then see if something can be done. some pseudo-trotskysts i know go out camping together quite often, for what i know they just drink and have fun, but nobody would know if they were doing something else.
>>2386Buy waterproof hiking boots on amazon or whatever, probably manufactured in China. Maybe thrift shops or military surplus stores if you don't mind buying used and wading through damaged boots. Be mindful of diseases and stank tho.
>>2386They're a bit of a meme but if you can get'em go for it or like
>>2387 said. I got a pair of waxi boots in combat boot length and they're great.
lmao @ larp
i intend to complete my higher education, but after that, is it worthwhile to at least go into military reserves? i doubt i can give myself a truly equivalent training or mindset and i cant see any other way to give myself adequate, if albeit in all likelihood unnecessary, preparation
>>2775honestly, yeah it's worthwhile, the skills will be needed by us all
>>2775Yes. Joining later makes you less susceptible to drinking the kool aid and you can focus more on getting the most out of training. You'll find good people but you'll also find shitty people like any other job.
Military training promotes cohesion, you'll get close to people and learn how to deal with challenges that you otherwise won't face in other forms of LARP.
>>2775>should I join the military and kill for the government to learn how to be a socialisthow about NOOOOOOOOOO
>>2807Socialist governments famously never having militaries
>>2775Mate, if gangs do it, what is the problem of commies doing it too, just don't drink their Koolaid or get involved with their imperialist bullshit and you gonna be fine.
>>2775How thorough will inspection of my body be my military doctors? I have a bunch of burn marks (all of which could be tattooed over fairly easily) but mainly I have a significant amount of self harm cuts on my thighs, right next to where my balls touch I guess. I'm aware that previous psychological issues are grounds for dismissal, so I'm wondering if this is something I need to address before, i.e find ways to make scars less noticeable/covered, or if they won't get seen.
>>2823
i'm not a leftist you faggot
>>2257This is ok advice but not great, I want to make note of the gulf wars as one gap frequently noted in the Americans arsenal was the 500-1 mile range
American assault rifles where incapable of putting effective fire on targets in that range, but you know what wasn't? Bolt action rifles used by the Taliban.
A common tactic of the Taliban as such was to just pitch up snipers in mountains and have them take pot shots at people within that ranging then fucking run, rinse repeat.
Know your enemy
>>3175Thanks man.
Scan anything here before opening it. Is there any utility to studying strategy as a supplement(as long as you don't consider a substitute to actual training like many do) or would it be useless without the wisdom of a more experienced mentor?
>>2806Facts about the koolaid thing, or you get jaded and if you hang out with the right people you probably wont get recruited by right wing nationalists pretending to be a vet support group.
I've heard from some people that "strikeball/paintball helps you train for real combat".
It doesn't. If you don't believe a random anon on the internet, believe actual combat vets.
To translate their quote:
>Neither airsoft nor games help you complete a combat mission in reality. I will say more, on the contrary, they do harm. When airsoft players come, you can see them. You can even tell by their manner of entering a shelter or a room. A person who has never played airsoft, he is very careful, while an airsoft player flies in right away.Why is this bad? Because if you're dashing around on a battle-field, not only does the rapid movement get attention from any surveillance, but it runs the risk of hitting mines or trip-wire traps or any other number of fucked shit you'd otherwise be able to avoid if you're slow and careful.

>>5035And throw in some mock claymores, mines and and tripwire explosives.
>>5034That's not how we played backyard airsoft. Every game lasted an hour because no one wants to advance for the reasons the guy said. Most of our games were just camping with the last campers winning lol.
>>5041That's not how most airsoft groups play nowdays, people are constantly free-hunting and given timed-objectives and whatnot, meaning you cannot resort to the positional tactics you played. Your experience is very atypical to be honest.
>>5042 Did you wear thick clothing?
>>5043>>5043>Did you wear thick clothing?No because then there is a chance you wont feel it and will cheat by accident. Only one layer shirt and pants and eye protection if course.
>>5044These don't really simulate what a real claymore is like however, same problem as what
>>5046 describes, you don't feel what is closer to real conditions, so you get used to it, and it's so much worse after. In the soviet army they had "Взрыв Пакеты" made for combat exercises, absolutely harmless but with a bang and force that simulated real mines and grenades, scaring the shit outta you. It made you look underfoot for sure. Russian army may still do this but I'm not sure at this point.
>>5047Yeah I the claymores are kind of lame. Hard to launch the bbs at velocity from an inch of space.
>made for combat exercises, absolutely harmless but with a bang and force that simulated real mines and grenades, scaring the shit outta you.That's a good idea. I was just thinking they need a mechanism that makes loud bangs when you fire the gun too.
>>5050>>5049To make it painful, if you die, you get no dinner for the evening, because dead men don't eat dinner.
>>5034tactical larpers and gun people on yt say airsoft can be useful to train small unit tactics and basic weapon handling etc. i guess there is a difference between "speedsoft" and "mil-sim" type of play. i have no experience in either but i guess that learning to work with a team on the field could be a good thing.
>>5042>Paintballs and airsoft really hurtdon't hurt enough to emulate getting shot.
