I am far left, but disagree on firearms.
While government can be good, historically government has always become worse over time and always eventually becomes the enemy.
For example, ancient Rome used to be a republic, and slowly became an empire.
Never has any republic lasted more than a few hundred years.
And in fact, the US is way beyond being able to be saved, in my opinion.
Just go back and look at all the wars.
The last legitimate war was in 1812.
All the rest were fake, horrific, war crimes, based on lies and profits.
Like claiming the Spanish torpedoed the USS Maine, when clearly it was a faulty boiler explosion.
The US was evil to join the assassins and invaders of WWI.
The US was evil to allow the Treaty of Versailles to steal half of Germany and cause WWII.
The US was evil to try to install Chang Kai Shek as dictator in China, Syngman Rhee as dictator in Korea, Diem as dictator in Vietnam, Batista as dictator in Cuba, the Shah as dictator in Iran, Samosa as dictator in Nicaragua, etc.
The main reason we all need guns is BECAUSE the police not only have them, but use them so badly, to murder innocent people.
Like the millions the police illegally imprison on victimless crimes like drugs, prostitution, etc.
The police are primarily an extortion racket.
