They are following the Bolshevik playbook to a T. This has been in the works for over 50 years.

If there is a ‘bright’ spot, those that facilitated it are beginning to realize they’re among the first to be ‘liquidated’.

I’m hoping for a more Robespierrian manifestation where the revolutionaries ate their own.

It’s interesting to note that Lenin’s rise to power was facilitated by Germany when they allowed him to leave Germany and travel to Russia in 1917. The Russian revolution followed soon after taking Russia out of World War 1. The world can thank Germany for kick starting Communism.

For a sneak preview, they should watch the movie “The Chekist”.

Are we obligated to allow totalitarians access to the mechanisms of a free society in order to destroy freedom?

So who's behind the current Marxist movement in the US?

The CIA? Soros? China?

I think there are elements in Western Deep States that think they can use Soros, Bingham, et al to maintain power. Think Saruman vis a vis Sauron.

They’ve discovered the “cheat code”.

A very good question with a complex answer. Soros is a source of funding for plenty of lefty candidates and organizations that support liberal causes. Is it illegal for him to do so? I’d like to think that some three letter federal agency is looking into it, but I’m not that optimistic. China is a good bet, but I’d like to believe that any US intelligence agency wouldn’t be doing that sort of thing. Then again, who knows? I’m sure the deep state is alive and well and in a good position to stir things up.

“those that facilitated it are beginning to realize they’re among the first to be ‘liquidated’.”

I doubt that. They are too stupid to realize it until they are put up against the bloody wall.

The rise of socialists and the rise of the Nazi party.
Both are murdering those they don’t like

Interesting. Germany facilitated Lenin to install soviet communism in Russia. During the 1920’s, Lenin and the NKVD established their power. In the 1930’s, the soviets sponsored the anti fascists in Germany, ANTIFA. They were in Germany to overthrow the national socialists and make Germany into a communist country.

Fast forward in our country, the dimrat party has been hijacked by communists that have antifa as their thug army.

I seem to remember obama saying something like he was going to establish an army just as well funded as the US Army and that he was going to fundamentally change our country.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but often it rhymes.

"They are following the Bolshevik playbook..."

Yep.

Like I've been saying for a few weeks: The fight between the establishment leftists like Hakeem and Schumer and guys like James CarVile vs. new "DSA" upstarts is essentially the old argument between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.

Their ultimate goals are the same, they just disagree on the best way to get there.

And at least the establishment leftists still fear us sane people enough to pretend that they aren't just as far left as the Bolsheviks.

Don't forget, they started with the colleges first. That's what has led to this time and place. While we were fighting commies over there, we took our eye off the ball at home, and the commies set up shop here.

Also a reminder that the Romanovs were in power longer than we’ve been a country.
