Americans waking up to necessity of real resistance against state

“It’s a white supremacist experiment that has been based in blood and violence from the beginning,” Daniel Patrick Welch said.

“A lot of people are realizing that the white extinction anxiety- this idea that white people are very scared about losing their protected status and are lashing out more openly and more brazenly— is a true threat,” he noted.

Welch made the comments in response to a new survey that shows about a third of US voters believe another civil war is possible because of political violence and immigration issues.

The poll by Rasmussen Reports found 31 percent of those surveyed believe it is “likely” that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11 percent saying it’s “very likely.”

“That war has been going on since the founding of this settle colony,” Welch said.

The poll showed that some 28 percent of white respondents, 44 percent of African Americans and 36 percent of other minorities expressed concern for civil war.

“Black people are scared more than usual. They have been under police state assault for centuries,” Welch said.

“There is a significant portion of people who think they are going to be more under attack or they have to fight,” he noted.

Welch said that such surveys often ignore the constant exercise of violence that is inherent in the settler system of America.

“The US is the most violent apparatus ever to have existed,” he said.

Thousands of Americans have been protesting for weeks in state capitols under the banner of the Poor People’s Campaign. Activists are calling for a “moral revival” in America, demanding an end to systematic racism, poverty and war economy.

The mass rallies come more than 50 years after iconic civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King first launched the Poor People’s Campaign.

The organizers are also addressing issues like universal healthcare, school system, housing, institutionalized racism, police violence, mass incarceration and immigration.
