“sweeped”/“swept” is a euphemism for abusing them and destroying their possessions
Real praxis.

yeah if reddit libs are to be believed every single one of these comrades should have already been hit with a tomahawk missile and engaged by an entire armored battalion.
On one hand you have this, on the other hand you have stuff like Waco and the MOVE bombing. The types of guns civilians can access in the U.S. will get you to the very limits of what the state will tolerate. But moving from that to going on the offensive against the state will bring a different level of state violence.
That latter part is what (most of) the people who bring up drones or armor or whatever are getting at. You see it in the context of militia chuds a lot. They’ll fantasize about overthrowing the federal government – not just pissing in a bucket in a cabin surrounded by cops – and people will rightly say that’s ludicrous.
At best, a large armed movement could provoke such a brutal crackdown (basically forcing the U.S. to do to its own people what it did to Iraqis) that the government would lose all pretense of public support. But that’s what said movement would be signing up for – mass, indiscriminate casualties among members and civilians alike for as long as the government can function.
But Non-violence protestirinos!
