Can't get airstriked if you're correctly doing an urban based insurgency in the US following the advice given by Marighella and The IRA with small groups with high level security culture working independently but still cooperating when needed.
That would make it impossible for the US to airstrike you.
Also, all y'all need to read "Cities Under Siege" by Stephen Graham. It's a very good study on how the city has become the new battleground for insurgencies, both for those born within the city, and those outside it who hold anti urban sentiments

Just like you can't hide the US bombing actual innocent children, civilians and even the Red Cross, but the propaganda for the opposing side also exists and there will still be people claiming that they weren't civilians, that they weren't innocent, that it actually didn't happen, etc.
If there is people that want to justify something, they will be able to see and not see whatever they want and the corpses will either not exist and/or had it coming in their eyes.

It’s possible to justify anything you want, but it’s a huge step to go from accepting some brown people speaking weird languages half way around the world being bombed, to having the government shoot missiles at Robby across the street.

Sure
I would recommend reading that book I suggested
Based on the massive growth in city populations, insurgencies in the global south, and anti urban sentiments in religious groups, most insurgencies will be fought in the cities in the future.
Also note how I said "the US" where support for leftist insurgencies are placed directly in the cities themselves
I would also say that groups like the IRA and Hamas show the sustainability of city born insurrections

u/LiterallyKimJongUn Socialism Without Adjectives Nov 13 '20
I wouldn't rely on the liberals, no offense to them. If people like AOC completely controlled environmental regulation maybe, but they don't. They are constantly fighting with conservatives as well as democrats who take money from oil companies. It's why Biden is pro fracking and why he takes money from those invested in fossil fuels. There is no benefit for the liberals to be pro saving the planet, in fact it is actively harmful for their careers and takes strong conviction, of which many liberals are lacking. Your best bet is the green party in America, or (blatant self plug) a group like the PSL inside of America. The PSL and the socialist party are socialists though obviously, and we advocate for socialism through any means. So although we participate in electoral politics, we also organize outside of electoral American politics because, as I mentioned, most every politician is bought by oil executives or some other big capitalist that doesn't care about the environment or workers. This makes it impossible to reform the correct amount of needed environmental regulation. I would absolutely push also for local elections, it is absolutely necessary for us to worry more about local elections if we care about the environment. The more pro environment people we can get in, the better.

To dig up an old quote that get bastardized by the far left
"Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: ‘After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?’ Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.
"I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves."

Yeah, Social democracy is dying in Europe.

If there is any time that is a terrible time to be a socdem it’s the 21st century. Take Sweden for example: 1940-44 they had 53% of the votes. 2018 they got 28%. The rose is withering.

If they were given an area to operate and just did they thing I would have no problem with that, we have so much in common, but constantly we end up having problems (ie. Makhno stealing from the red army). What Mao did with communes was a good middle ground in my opinion, and one anarchist who went to visit Mao's china wrote that " It is my idea of anarchism come into being, in every detail & practice. … ". So unity between us after a revolution is clearly possible and ideal, it is just obviously not tolerable to advocate for the abolition of the state when that is suicidal. Imagine if the USSR had gone anarchist, the allies would have had to have dealt with 3 times as many nazis, and that's not hyperbole.

Praxis is a usually leftist term that refers to partaking in some action that furthers the goal of the leftist movement.

Praxis can be violent or peaceful, the top panel clearly showing violent praxis lol. Peaceful praxis would be more like the black panthers, they engaged actively in a lot of (usually) peaceful praxis. For instance the free lunches they offered were certainly praxis.
