  Even if you're a die-hard capitalist, you shouldn't use "tankie" as a broad label for anti-capitalists. Diluting it as a term just helps the actual tankies (authoritarian communists).

  Perhaps I've misinterpreted your usage of "last line of defense"?

  These aren't regular conservatives that we're dealing with. MAGA is a fascist movement. The MO of fascists is to gain and hold power for their in-group by *any means necessary*. While it should never be our first option, we need to be willing and able to violently resist them, because they sure as hell don't have any qualms about violently subjugating us.

  public shaming is the last line of defense we have against these types of people

  Wait, really? I know liberals tend to like weird pseudo-pacifism, but have y'all really committed so hard to it that you think "public shaming" is our last line of defense?

  Get armed, and get trained. You may end up needing it. *We* may end up needing it.

  There is a "Knife Rights" organization that works to overturn these laws. From what I hear, they tend to be pretty successful, since there isn't a ton of attention on the issue and there isn't much in the way of entrenched opposition the way there is on the guns issue.

  I'm surprised no one has mentioned mutualism, as it sounds like that's exactly what you're looking for. Mutualists aim to create an economy of worker cooperatives, and abolish long-term absentee ownership.
