Anti-Capitalist Teach-In Leader: ‘We Have People Organizing Inside of the Military’
The Blaze ^ | Nov.15, 2011 | Billy Hallowell

Posted on 11/15/2011 12:07:20 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Over the weekend, Adam Kokesh (”Adam vs. the Man”) headed down to Occupy D.C.’s “Anti-Capitalist Teach-In,” where he captured some curious comments from participants. Among the bizarre statements to come from protesters was the notion that Occupiers may be organizing within the military in an effort to see a “revolution” unfold.

“Rod,” a self-described member of the Progressive Labor Party, said that he and his compatriots have been encouraging others to “think in terms of building revolution against this whole system of capitalism.” He went on to say that the fight must be taken to industrial workers, the military, campuses — even churches.

“The other thing we stress is building a base in the military. If we’re talking about revolution, it means we have to win other some section of the military to be on our side and most of them are working class people just like the rest of us…We have people organizing inside the military…,” Rod explained (around 1:50). He continued:

“Our goal is to have everybody in the party, everything organized collectively, everything coordinated, everyone engaged in the discussion and the debate. Our feeling is that some of the worst behavior is the idea of making profit off of another person.”

Defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. If this is not the definition of subversive, I don’t know what is.

Any of those in the Military who follow/act as this trash claims are afoul of the UCMJ. As for he and the rest of his trash implement OPLAN Garden Plot.

“We have people organizing inside the military...”

This one gets a double face palm and a snicker.

And a snort.

Sure they do. Why do you think they are so gung ho to repeal don't ask, don't tell?

Problem for the Fascist Progressives, is while working class, the Military almost all comes from the Republican voting parts of America. They don't like commies much around those parts.

Sounds like not one of the unwashed have ever been in the military. They just don’t get it. Our military is about honor and country, not selfishness and anarchy.

Well, the military isn’t 100% Republican. My experience is that even the Officers break about 50/50. In the past, the communists have claimed that they only needed to have 3% of the population become communist before they could take over a country. That would be about 10 million people in this country. How many Democrats are there? Of course, the communists meant 3% of the population who are willing to cut throats, and I’m not so sure the Dems have the stomach for that. Oh, and that’s also in a country without private firearms. Why do you think the Dems want gun control?

We are still at war. That kind of behavior could translate to a fairly rapid court martial and execution. Call it "Organizing for a Dirt Nap".

There are losers who hate the military while they are in, this is true. To say there are groups organizing withing the military is a downright lie. They would gets their behinds kicked in a hurry.
