Don't know if you're old enough to remember them but I am.familiarize (or *re* familiarize) yourself with Mao's "Red Guards" of the 1960's (and 70's IIRC).

Carbon copy...right down to the destruction of old monuments.

I've read about them and seen pictures. Yes, they are right out of the same playbook.

The problem for them is something they don't understand about our culture. Those tactics they employ may work in Europe, with it's long history of domination by an Aristocracy, and they may work in China for the same reason.

America is different. Firstly, we are heavily armed. Secondly, we don't like being pushed around and are not accustomed to tolerating it for very long.

They are going to discover that they have opened up an entirely different can of worms in this culture.
