There is utter denial on the part of Democrats everywhere that anything is amiss in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, or anywhere else that Antifa and BLM thugs are burning, smashing and pillaging municipal, state and Federal facilities, and looting businesses large and small, generating chaos that is only half-heartedly acted upon by the local police, who are under an almost universal “Stand-down” order from the municipal authorities, with very real instances of defunding or neutering of police functions.
This is much longer and more widespread than the “Kristallnacht” of Germany, when a large-scale pogrom was launched against all Jewish businesses in the country.
Socialism in all its forms is born in anarchy, grows in unbridled chaos, and finally settles in when the intimidation is complete, a militaristic dictatorship that resists all efforts to displace it.
There are not many chances left to get this right.
In the next few weeks I'll prepare a vanity on the subject.
