As the EFF supports overthrowing the state by revolution, and expropriating farms, it very unlikely that they would support the right of the middle-class to defend themselves against the violence and destruction of property inherent in such revolutions. “To capture political and state power through whatever revolutionary means possible” (EFF Constitution).
