So, my family history intertwines a bit with the Molly Maguires and the same conditions that led to the Matewan Massacre and ensuing battle. I have great sympathy for the men who defended themselves and their families in that historical context.

More like the armed wing of AntiFa and the Communist Party and the Anarchists (Don't Tell Me What To Do).So is this basicly WLM?
Hey! They had Spencer rifles! I wonder if they were actually carbines...A neat little list for you to peruse Lex...(From Blair Mountain...84 muzzleloaders!!!!)

...ETA: Image bottom keeps getting cut off...anyway, pic on the right bottom with the SKS. You only practice bayonet charges if you are planning on attacking opposing protestors en-masse...
Bayonet charges are for last ditch, no option situations where you have to make a stand and can't run away.
...meaning that they'll never actually do one.
The bottom two are a Hi Point and a Mosin. TACTICOOL!
Is it at all ironic that they are practicing for something that figured prominently in a Union defensive maneuver at Gettysburg? Arguably, the strongest assertion of federal power over the states in American history.

WE BELIEVE IN THE NEED FOR REVOLUTION
We believe that there will have to be a complete restructuring of society to provide for the survival and liberty of all people. We will fight for the end of predatory exploitation of our communities, and the creation of a world where no one is without food, shelter, water, or any other means of survival. We believe in a future without tyranny, and the political and social control of a small segment of society over the rest of us. . . .
[underline emphasis mine]
WE STAND AGAINST THE NATION-STATE AND ITS FORCES WHICH PROTECT THE BOSSES AND THE RICH
Police, prisons, courts, artificial borders, and other systems of social control only exist to serve the rich. The nation-state project came into existence to protect the propertied classes and keep us working people poor and without power, often using varying types of standing armies to enforce laws which disproportionately impact the poor. We have no interest in ideological utopian governments- we do not seek to merely replace one set of politicians for another. We know that our answers will always come from a community level, where every person should be allowed to participate in making the decisions that affect their lives. We believe in community power and community rights over the rights of any government body. We stand with working class people of every country of the world against our common enemy: the rich and powerful, and will not allow arbitrary borders or boundaries to prevent us from unifying with other working class people.

Looking at their website, for people supposedly committed to racial equality, they sure identify themselves as "white" a lot.
