    You mean when the guys with guns that are hired to protect the kids without guns didn’t protect anyone? Yea. You are adorable thinking that you convince anyone with such arguments.

      It’s almost like the state apparatus that is supposed to protect is failing in multiple ways? No what does that strawman have to do with mutual aid and protection networks?

      The book I was talking about wasn’t about theory, it was accounts of actual events. Often with the primary source being a person who partook or benefited from the mutual aid network.

      It’s not really about tactics or personal defense, it’s about how important community building is for disadvantaged groups. About how sometimes similar to your early example, the state fails to protect these groups from radical political violence.
