Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

This makes me think of the of the right wingers calling themselves deplorable or terrorists in response to being labeled as such.
Let’s not own up to their labels, let’s reject everything they have to say rather than amplify their messaging.
Let’s not mess with labels at all. Let’s organize to drive them from power.
You make a decent point.
However, when I made this, my thought process was that they are arresting people for using their first amendment rights while peacefully protesting. Now, the regime is planning to arrest people for “pre-crime”. People will absolutely be arrested and charged as a domestic terrorist on the basis that they don’t like fascism (Antifa). It’s a lot like how they labeled people dangerous subversive communists during the second red scare.
But also, I think it’s preferable to litterally do crime against a fascist state then to comply.
