Advocating for workers controlling the means of production is not radical leftism, its just leftism. Radical would be to seize the means and kill all the billionaires and landlords.

I am 100% in agreement, but where in US politics is the left actually following Marx's view on gun ownership? What percentage of the US Left actually agrees and owns guns? I wish it was a significant percentage, but since Leftist gun culture is generally hidden on top of being a minority the optics indicate a very small percentage.

Blue states are the ones with gun bans, and the Democrat party is the big tent attempting to contain the "far Left". Just because actual far Leftists don't agree with it, doesn't mean either poster in the meme aren't talking about Republican and Democrat parties.

Hell, look at the next comment on my post to find someone saying disarming the populace is great. I would hazard a guess they would consider themselves to be Left.

Very true, Marx had very similar reasons as the US founding fathers for the rights of citizens to be armed. I am not deeply emersed in communist/radical leftist spaces to know exactly how the numbers split, but I do know there are at least a significant percentage who believe it to be obsolete reasoning and not applicable to modern society and arms.

I'm sure they do for some people, I was just pointing out that anything without solid widespread appeal with the liberal left and moderates was left out.
