They were bloody well fed anti tank and anti aircraft rpgs and the like
by the USA - that's how they took down the USSR occupation.

Your simplification may be useful to inspire, but more research by the
wanna be AK47 wielder is most definitely required!

I agree.

The main problem is, that folks couch or frame the discussion from the
dominant Western mindset - the individual or small group (think WACO)
that desperately and futilely tries to hold out against the whole
system.

That lacks intelligence.

That lacks foresight.

That lacks strategic planning, and sensible targets for "those on my
side willing to wield an AK47" prior to actually launching your
insurrection.


And TAKE NOTICE all WANNA BE INSURRECTIONISTS - our TLA 'friends' will
always try to infiltrate, demonstrate and thereafter express authority,
and finally cause your insurrection to launch waay too early, well
before you have any chance of succeeding.


      THINK !!!

      Handle (banish!) from your core, those who evidently compromise
      your intentions.

And of course, to maximise recruitment (of counter insurrectionists),
speak loudly and brashly in the most public way you can, with no thought
for subtlety and strategy.
