The left is arming up to oppose the facist or are they arming up to insure they keep bleeding the actual working class?

IMO my take from 2mins of reading their website is I think it's a leftist attempt to hijack a name that middle Americans and blue collar democrats associate with and make it seem like it's them when in fact it seems just like ANTIFA rebranded as angry white country guy, when it's not actually the case. ANTIFA is wolf in sheep's clothing deliberately trying to deceive unsuspecting people to joining in thinking they are joining something else.
Just look at the people whose quotes they decided to choose and highlight.
A link from their website
“Redneck Revolt is a national network of community defense projects from a broad spread of political, religious, and cultural backgrounds. It is a pro-worker, anti-racist organization that focuses on working class liberation from the oppressive systems which dominate our lives,” the organization’s website states. “In states where it is legal to practice armed community defense, many branches choose to become John Brown Gun Clubs, training ourselves and our communities in defense and mutual aid.”
The name harkens back to the 1921 “Battle of Blair Mountain” when some 10,000 United Mine Workers of America staged the largest labor uprising in US history, with many miners wearing red bandanas around their necks. Over one million rounds of ammunition were fired before President Warren Harding sent in federal troops. Over sixty people died in the battle .
Redneck Revolt inserts themselves into overwhelmingly white spaces—NASCAR races, gun shows, flea markets in rural communities, and country music concerts—to offer a meaningful alternative to the white supremacist groups who often also recruit in those spaces,” Jared Ware of Shadowproof explained. “Redneck Revolt’s anti-racist, anti-capitalist message seems to be taking hold in communities across the United States. The organization had just 13 chapters in January but has nearly tripled its chapters nationally in the last 6 months. The group now has 34 different chapters.
