Here's how it is:

The old Fabian strategy was to get socialist-minded people elected into government. Bit by bit, slowly over time, they would edge a country closer to socialism. The Democrats have been doing this for decades. Food stamps, welfare, social security, medicare, bit by bit the US has been getting close to socialism.

But the whole job cannot be done that way.

No, the Fabian approach will get you part of the way, but there comes a point of danger to the strategy -- but it is also a point of opportunity. When 51% of the population pays no taxes, then the situation is full of danger, because productive citizens begin to see the situation as untenable. However, with 51% of the population liking the situation, there is an opportunity for sudden, decisive action.

In left-wing discourse, ‘Blanquism’ refers to a conception of revolution generally attributed to Louis Auguste Blanqui which holds that socialist revolution should be carried out by a relatively small group of highly organized and secretive conspirators. Having taken power, the revolutionaries would then use the power of the state to introduce socialism or communism. It is considered a particular sort of ‘putschism’ - that is, the view that political revolution should take the form of a putsch or coup d’etat.

The approach of Blanqui was disdained by Marx, Lenin and others. Too sudden, they said. Not practical, they said. The people would not be ready, they said.

But the Fabian approach has made the people ready. Now, a small group of radicals from Chicago, suddenly thrust into power at a moment of crisis, can complete the task.

A true coup d'etat. But a coup de le monde, in fact.

I keep telling you people. The ‘Turner Diaries’ are beginning to show the prophetic nature of what people called trash during the 80’s and 90’s.
The Democratic Party's contrived and conspired financial crisis and Obama’s call to the youth to join his ‘Jugend’ movement may soon trigger unprecedented violence not seen since the revolution and the Civil War.

as penance for their obstinacy in ignoring the obvious for so long, and for pillorying those of us who have been faithfully sounding the alarm, they should be required to stand in Times Square wearing a tin foil hat and a sandwich-board sign declaring “I’m a Conspiracy Whacko Too!”

Just because you're a kook, it doesn’t mean that there isn't a conspiracy.
