It’s not just “people” working to stop us, it’s the state itself. The state would far prefer ascendant fascist popular movements over the development of autonomous anarchist networks for community defense.

They would rather we die at the hand of fascists than gain the power to defend ourselves on a mass scale, because it’s obvious who else we might defend ourselves against. This is why every struggle against fascists is inherently also a struggle against the police.
