You can be certain that the “spectre of communism” is spreading when “elites” stop pretending to be bound by any rule of law and instead project their power by resorting to open threats of violence.
In classical Greek mythology, hubris is a fatal flaw that inevitably leads to tragedy. No matter how admired the hero, any mortal who dares to behave like a god is punished in the end. Mankind never seems to learn this lesson.
The "elites" of every generation delude themselves into believing that they are superhuman and inherently different from those they consider beneath them. They are not. Whatever afflicts ordinary people will eventually come for those who build extravagant sanctuaries intended to rival Mount Olympus.
No "elite" ideology has caused as much suffering as communism for a simple reason: it is a false doctrine that feeds on hubris. "Communism begins where atheism begins," Marx wrote. It permits "elites" to deify themselves. Because of that delusion, it remains a "spectre" that still "haunts" the world.
Wherever Marxism has reared its ugly head, it ultimately brings death and desolation. Wherever communist "elites" believe that they can rule over a land of peasants while remaining safe and secure behind castle walls, those barriers eventually prove as fragile as any Potemkin village constructed from empty promises and outright lies.
No matter how many hundreds of millions of lives socialism and communism have destroyed, Western "elites" remain enamored of Marxism. Any system that eliminates private property for all but the aristocratic few and cultivates a slavish devotion to the State is attractive to arrogant human beings who believe it is their birthright to control others.
The "spectre of communism" haunting the world today comes in the form of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" or the United Nations' planned technocratic tyranny.

“There are no consequences. That’s why it’s only getting worse.”
Courts will be given time to act.
Leftists are learning hard lessons in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and NYC.

Lefties may retreat on their defund-the-police and maybe even their anti-detention policies when it hits them at home, and that goes for pro-homelessness policies when it’s in their back yard, but they will never retreat from confiscatory socialism, and they can’t stand that there are places with less socialism where people may be able to thrive compared to them, so they will push this global marxist climate farce hard.
The elites tried to hide Hunter but instead lit the Human Molotov Cocktail again.
“how do we address our grievances?”
Keep your wallets and purses under tight control.
No new houses, which are mainly built by invaders.
No stock or mutual fund purchases, which make our masters richer. Without a strong stock market, the leftist strongholds of New York and California would financially collapse.
No recreational travel. This is easily avoided for years.
No unnecessary meals out. They are easily avoided for years.
Retire if practical. Don’t grow a business unnecessarily.
Remember, you may have to flee in 1933 Jewish style after selling your assets cheaply.
Keep it peaceful.
Learn to be as self-reliant as possible. Bidenbucks buy less as time goes on.
They can and will. They control the government and have a legal monopoly on government approved murder.
Nice but our elites aren’t Marxists but capitalists. Think about that next time some charlatan talks about tax cuts for the wealthy to “grow the economy” in times of high deficits.
The leftists want to be the nurse in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
The arrogance of the left is growing—they do not feel they need to hide now—Open corruption from the Controlling Party is now in the open. Treason for money is now quite acceptable—so it seems. But forces are at work now that will be their undoing. Internationally America will get a bloody nose soon. We have made many enemies—and the chicken’s are coming home to roost. I do not see Russia as the one to give it, nor China but some small no account nation.
I see only a handful of outcomes—tell me if I am wrong.
1. Bonnie Blue Flag Moment—states leave UNION and set up a new Republic—could be from the Left or Right. Civil War.
2. Left makes war on itself Maoists vs Marxists.
3. Storm the Bastille—Classes rise up as mobs to set order into place, with public hangings maybe a return to the guillotine. To be rich or famous will be a death sentence as an enemy of the PEOPLE. Even working for the hated rich will see your head fall. A new radical world formed—Like Mao tried.
What ever happens its not going to be pretty.
And that’s why they are terrified of the vengeance of Trump and his supporters.
