    Hey,
    Urban Guerilla warfare has all the advantages in the modern world. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Make this topic like the community union socialism topic.

    It would be fun to play Urban Guerrilla Warfare Paintball for practice. But an urban guerilla squad or two vs SWAT ... thats basically what it'd be if they take any action. IT WOULD DEFINITELY DISABLE A LOT OF AIR SUPPORT!!

    The Canadian Forces are trained in Guerrilla Warfare, unlike the US Army which goes for conventional training. This is why the Canadian Forces worked so well in Afganistan, with so few casualties (if you discount the US bombing of Canadian troops).

    I'm a pacifist so I don't really think about the efficiency of this kind of stuff. I prefer the kind of things they do in Fight Club, like with the pigeons, but not blowing up credit card companies.

    I guess guerilla warfare has alot of advantages, I wouldn't know. But if it was necesary to turn society aorund and getting it pointing in the right direction I'd do whatever I had to.

    Urban guerrilla warfare sounds like a lot of fun if you want to see thousands of innocent bystanders get their hedz blown off, skin cinged and shrapnel in their asses.

    I would think that anyone who purports to be a humanitarian or even simply a socialist would realize that the loss of innocent life entailed in any urban campaign in not worth it. And if you think it is, well, then you're just as bad as them. Using people like pawns in your political games is not cool, no matter which side you're on.

    And for all ya'll Che lovers, why do you think they were fighting in the mountains and jungles, cuz they liked the climate?

    I think you might have guerilla warfare confused with terrorism.

    any competent socialist/revolutionary/whatever would make sure that they knew what they were doing, and would make sure they wouldnt harm any innocents, and always go for the target...or something.
    terrorism is completely unlike urban guerilla warfare

    no, I'm not a fucking moron.

    Have you ever seen what house-to-house fighting looks like?

    oh yeah, are you planning on using smart bombs?

    War in populated areas causes MASSIVE civilian casualties. See Stalingrad.

    Stalingrad is a bit of a bad example. With two armies on both sides of the city and artillery and tanks and thousands of soldiers and a clear front line. That isn't exactly a guerilla war is it?

    Would you like some better examples? how about Colombia(pick a city) 2002? Stalingrad is just a good example of a city in which there was nothing left to fight for when the fighting was done.

    Urban guerrilla warfare isn't just shooting people and blowing up buildings. The guerillas also do things like cutting power to areas of cities and towns to disrupt the usual flow of things, anything that can be strategic to what they're fighting for. They're not out there to kill innocent civillians, although that does happen. But then again, I'm not an experrt

    ID2002, I didn't know our troops were trained in guerrilla warfare, that's very interesting...

    AL AASIM, that paintball idea sounds pretty fun

    exactly what felicia said.
    its not all about blowing things up and killing.
    thats a last resort tactic, you shouldnt even need guns, but if its me or them, them with a gun and me without, id be pretty fucked, therefore, it would be logical to equip yourself to deal with such...inconveniences.
    but as i was saying, the point is to unnerve them, show them that the civilians have power, and will use it, so make them scared to try anything, while not hurting them directly, of course lives will be lost, but i think its an acceptable risk...or something
