Not the same. US tried to establish a government and then leave the place. They had no plans what would happen after the invasion. If the plan was to establish permanent colony, there would be control structures which make sure that happen.
US is armed to the teeth. The local home guard is more armed than militaries of some countries. This is before the army gets called in. Any chance of an armed uprising is naught. The only thing that will work is making the police join in the strikes.
Violence will be used as an excuse to attack people who stood against the govt. This part has been played many times in history. The last major one being in Tianenmen.
This is interesting.
I have read a lot of marxist and anarchist theory. All marxist theories did is to confirm that the anarchists are right.
What is a tankie?
Blanket bans have sometimes helped me in the past. Lemmy IMO is not at the scale where that would be necessary. A contextual evaluation can still work for lemmy. Your solution of moderating it individually is the right one in this case.

I am new here. I ma basing my comment on observations I have seen in reddit. Please take my advice with the skepticism it requires as I don’t understand how moderation in lemmy works.
My observations based on moderating subreddits have been to institute blanket bans on people who are active on extreme right subreddits and extreme left subreddits. This helps in clearing the brigading and steers conversations towards neutrality.
I think we also need to remove brigading posts. I am new to lemmy so not sure how much brigading happens here.
I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.
The problem is even if you point out the issues with that religion, you can get banned from certain subs. I am an ex muslim and non binary. I got perma banned because I reported a moderator who supported sexist practices and then he went and got me perma banned via admins.
Its a hydra and not a minotaur. 8 heads will spawn 16 heads in stead. Structural changes require non violent continous revolution of Gramscian nature. Violence does not work as well as you think it would.
