Redneck Revolt is a gun club described by the Counter Extremism Project as a "far-left group" that "stands against capitalism and the concept of the nation-state, including its symbols such as police, prisons and courts."

 

According to the Counter Extremism Project, Redneck Revolt is a far-left, pro-gun group and an offshoot of the John Brown Gun Club, which recently made headlines by recruiting members with posters celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The Counter Extremism Project lists Redneck Revolt as an offshoot of the John Brown Gun Club, which has been involved in at least two violent attacks at ICE facilities, one in Washington in 2019 and another on July 4 in Alvarado, Texas. The club posted recruitment flyers on Georgetown University's campus on Wednesday.

Redneck Revolt, described by the Counter Extremism Project as a "far-left" gun club, rejects capitalism and the nation-state, often deploying armed members to protests and claiming to shield left-wing activists from "fascist" or "white supremacist" opponents. Dixon faced multiple charges after allegedly attending protests in Durham and Charlottesville in 2017, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, though charges were later dropped.  He was also charged with assault during the 2018 toppling of UNC’s Silent Sam statue, a case that was later dismissed, according to WRAL.
