Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

concentrate into the hands of the wealthy, and their militarized forces.

They already have weapons incomparable to those of civilians and also have resources to produce much more. Try to fight with military of any reasonably strong country with all the millions of guns of US citizens lol. This is such a bogus claim.

Yet why was the US military unable to gain a decisive victory in north korea, Vietnam, or afghanistan? To name just a few instances where the level of military capability didn't do enough to combat the will and resilience of the indigenous population.

I would rather die fighting against fascists than lay down my rights and submit to class dictatorship in a wage slave hellscape that isnt even worth living and participating for.

Cause militia there have enough resources (these are state actors). Civilians didn't resist alone with their guns.

Any civilian paramilitary that amasses the necessary ordinance and resources to stand up to an oppressive state will inevitably become a state actor. We are talking about guerrilla militant resistance which sprouts from grass roots organized dissent. There are many ways to build that type of movement but currently all the outlets necessary to propel such organizing are heavily suppressed, censured and moderated/controlled
