Btw, how do you end gang violence without guns? They have: 38spl revolvers, .357mag revolvers, .380acp pistols, 9mm pistols, .40&w, .45acp pistols, 12ga shotguns, 5.56 NATO automatics. rifles, 7.62 NATO automatic rifles, 5.45 automatic rifles, 7.62x39 automatic rifles, .50bmg
Sorry, I'm not an expert in gang violence. But I would say start to reduces wealth inequalities first and then you will be able to do more.
You won't be able to fight gangs as long as people will have to join them to survive.
Then I can't trust all your informations I'm sorry, but I don't know who your are putting into your "gang" categories, violent mobs ? political fighters ? Terrorist ? Narcotrafficers ? It's impossible to know through your word and the situation in south america is highly complex even more when we know that the US imperialism is trying to destroy the stability of the region.
A simple check on the Comando Vermelho made me understand there was no emancipatory behavior from them, it's a narcotraffic organization. You are spreading far right conspiracy BS that can be debunked through a simple search. And you are assimilating the violence with leftist.
Don't start to make me interested in the situation of brazil and make REAL research from REAL scholars. Because you won't have no more excuzes to spread your rethoric.
Focus on material conditions of existence. Stop the reason for people to join these violent organization in the first place and maybe you will have more place to think about other solutions later.
From what I know, bolsonaro completely negated the help to the poor and social services while making friend with paramilitaries of Rio

Which is the reason for
the assassination of multiple LEFTIST activists.
And your solution is more gun ? Don't make me laugh.. In reality you are just a scared man who was convinced by your white friend or youtube that leftism was the problem in your country when in reality it has nothing to do with this.
You are full of shit dude.
I act like there was never a crime before capitalism
Capitalism is not the only system of domination, it's quite a recent one.
And once again misinterpreting my post and putting words in my mouth
Sight this is exhausting
For the record: I NEVER insinuated that powerful women in patriarchal societies are necessarily 'in charge'.
It's much more complex than this.
And btw there has never been one united global society. It might currently seem there is but that's a) superficial and b) just a matter of time until global society fractures again. Maintaining one united global hegemony is simply not possible.
Learn to look beyond the surface. Globalization does not as many westerners seem to believe turn everyone into a member of the same culture. You know, like a Japanese or Kenyan person wearing a European suit doesn't magically begin to think like a European.
You said "there are no completely patriarcal societies either" which is plain wrong.
Sorry bro
We are in a full and complete patriarcal society
(worldwide). It's not necessarily radical (there are nuance like you said), but it's a real and full patriarcal one and a complete system. There are no exceptions. You are confusing a global culture and a global system.
Systems of domination =/= country/culture/nation/populations
Systems means systems. The imparialism of the west is shared by MANY nations. THe domination of capitalism is shared by ALL nations.
Patriarchy > Same
While there are nuance of radicality (we are not talibans in europe for ex), the structural nature is similar.
I'm looking beyond, you are looking the wrong way. I know what I'm talking about when I talk about
global systems of domination.
