Communist group members go to Milwaukee to help 'revolution'
Associated Press ^ | 8/15/2016 | Staff

A Chicago-based communist revolutionary group blamed by Milwaukee's police chief for stoking a second day of violence said that some of its members did go there to "support a revolution" but didn't set out to cause trouble.

Police chief Ed Flynn said members of a Chicago chapter of the Revolutionary Communist Party turned what had been a peaceful night into a tense one by leading marchers down several blocks at around 11:30 p.m. TV footage showed a small group of protesters walking or running through the streets, sometimes toppling orange construction barriers.

"The (communist group) showed up, and actually they're the ones who started to cause problems," Flynn said at a news conference Monday. (snip)

Reached by phone, party co-founder Carl Dix said he wasn't in Milwaukee but confirmed several party supporters from Chicago traveled the 90 miles north to protest against police, who he blamed for both Smith's death and the subsequent violent protests. It is not clear how many of the group went to Milwaukee.

"This system sees police wantonly murdering people as part of the normal order of things," Dix said. But he added that people take issue with protests in response to those killings. His group advocates dismantling the police.

The Revolutionary Communist Party was founded in 1975, with a sharp focus on issues affecting black Americans. Dix repeatedly said party members are seeking to "dismantle" police and other government systems. The group is distinct from the Communist Party of the USA.

Only a liberal college student (or recent graduate) would fall for that line.

What ever happened to all those non-lethal crowd control devices that were invented? Time to fire them up.

No doubt they were the instigators all along. Just like in Ferguson.

Well there you have it. The answer to the question:

Why do black people automatically have to be democRATs?

The only way we can turn this country around is for the citizens to provide help and backup to our law enforcement officers. They can’t be everywhere all the time. now I know they don’t like vigilantes but I’m afraid that’s what the antidote may be. The vigilantes need to be level headed people that have prior LEO or military training which are everywhere. To say this isn’t part of the answer is deny reality ad is more of areflection of the complacency that created the problem in the first place.

I’m borrowing this quote from a poster at Breitbart. . . “Communists are a hate group: they hate that people should have choices in government instead of being subjected to their “better” government, and they aren’t anti-western, they’re anti-anti-Communist ... if you’re not Communist, they’re against it. The subtle difference between communism and socialism is that socialism is willing to use the government of the subject-to-be to institute their policies (witness our “Democrat” party members proposing unconstitutional “good ideas”), whereas communism tends to use revolution (e.g., Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, etc.), but the end goal is the same. That’s how they work: a little change here, a good idea there, push a little more over there ... and suddenly, people are crying “What happened?!”.

“did go there to ‘support a revolution’ but didn’t set out to cause trouble.”

The RCP’s standard operating procedure is to default to their “constitutional rights” whenever they are arrested for burning the American flag, rioting, smashing windows, burning cop cars, chucking projectiles at people’s heads, urging ghetto rats to “turn the guns around” and murder law abiding citizens etc etc.
While at the same time, the leader of their cult, Bob Avakian, talks openly in his speeches and writings about ripping up the Constitution and using it for toilet paper, and how Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot didn’t go far enough, didn’t put enough “reactionaries” in mass graves.

This AP story is still up on Drudge.

I'm surprised that the AP has actually reported this.

Virtually nobody in any of our major media outlets are reporting on how these communists are involved with provoking unrest.

It gets worse.

On July 11 of 2016, Megyn Kelly hosted a "Town Hall" style show centered on "Race relations" and BLM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlMw1po82Lk

Sitting directly behind FR's own Kevin Jackson is Carl Dix.

Never once did anybody, including Megyn Kelly ever mention that Carl Dix represents the Communist Party USA.

How did he get his seat?

Has the Communist Ideology become just another point of view that deserves a platform and respect?
