“Better to join other patriots and engage in organized resistance”
Politically, yes. But you were mentioning cops at the door. And you are correct, thats a losers game to allow yourself to be fixed and reduced by a superior force. Confronted at home, you are a cooperative citizen.
But armed resistance to a totalitarian is best done through a leaderless, unorganized cell structure. A cell can even be one person. The cells. while unable to betray other elements are not really alone. They share a commonly understood philosophy and goal, and all would instinctively know when, what, etc. Thats the modern way.
A classic example is the IRA vs Sein Fein. The philosphophical leaders cannot lead anyone to you, because they communicate only via the media etc.
It’s a very tough nut to crack. Best of all, leaderless resistance was developed in the USA in the early 60s to guide resisters in their efforts after a communist victory over America. Hey,,,come to think of it,,,,oh, nevermind,,
I have been looking or a book about the French Resistance. It seems that the lone wolves did pretty well and ones who went to the meetings soon figured out there were as many or more agent provocateurs as there were patriots. All too late of course.
Anyone have a suggestion on books?
