[Korah]

You really think this is foolishness?

Go read Alinsky’s writings again.

It is straight out of his book.

Remember how the communists got control of the Russian revolution. They used the disgruntled people who were protesting against the idea things have not changed, and in turn used the angry mobs to help them remove those who started the revolution.

By the end of the summer, the Communists were in control and they had their own revolution in October. So the revolutionaries were replaced by the communists.

By the end of the summer, the Communists were in control and they had their own revolution in October. So the revolutionaries were replaced by the communists.

This is quite common. Whenever there's a "successful" revolution, those who actually started it are usually exterminated once things settle down and power has been accumulated. Castro did it. As did Hitler, with "The Night of the Long Knives."

Most "revolutionaries" don't seem to realize that those who take over the power don't want successful revolutionaries around, who might overthrow them.

So the revolutionaries were replaced by the communists.

The rest of the story: the revolutionaries were KILLED by the communists. they had no use for them once they achieved their goal: absolute power.
