American right-leaning activist group Project Veritas released footage on Tuesday of Martin Weissgerber, a supporter of Democratic party senator Bernie Sanders who was a South Carolina field organizer, claiming he is a communist and eager to start fighting.

I want to learn how to shoot and go train, he said, Guillotine the rich.

When discussing how to combat the climate crisis he is recorded as discussing the option of dissolving the senate and the court system and have a group of people, among them Sanders, assuming tyrannical powers to allegedly take action against the deteriorating of the ecosystem.

He further claims Republicans will be sent to re-education camps while making air quotation marks indicting these would actually be death camps.

Weissgerber further goes on to argue that the first Gulag in the USSR was the White Sea Baltic Canal [Belomorkanal] and that it was a beautiful thing.

It is estimated that between 12,000 to 25,000 prisoners died in the construction of the canal which opened in 1933. Presented as a means to redeem inmates via labor, it was the first soviet five year plan and is not widely used today.

He then goes on to claim the US has more people in prison today than the USSR had in the Gulag system when they were working at full capacity.

In 1950 the USSR kept 2,525,146 people in the Gulags, the US Department of the Interior reported in a fact sheet, according to prisonstudies.org the US currently has 2,121,600 people in prison, making the argument false.

The Project Veritas activist can be heard encouraging Weissgerber as he is making these false claims with preach! and similar expressions goading him into making even wilder claims.

No, the activist says, the Soviet Union was not horrible which leads Weissgerber to say that for womens rights the Soviet Union [was] the most progressive place to date in the world.

This argument is also false as the USSR was not shy about handing out the Mother Heroine medal to Soviet women who had ten children or more.

Some historians argue that the award, founded in 1944, was meant to encourage women to give birth to more children as so many Russian citizens perished during the Second World War. In 1935 Anarchist Emma Goldman claimed that there is no Communism in Russia.

Weissgerber also expressed admiration for the AK-47, a gun designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1946, calling it the destroyer of imperialism and colonization.

The USSR had attempted to control Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War [1979-1989] and crushed Czechoslovakia in 1968 when that country attempted to present reforms to its system.

Political discourse in the US became extreme in recent years, with alt-right activist Richard B. Spencer saluting Trumps victory in 2016 with Hail Trump! Hail our people! and a film titled The Hunt in which characters shoot deplorables, or conservative Americans, the Craig Zobel film was never released.
