The Roots of Insurrection: Antifa Exposed

Andy Ngo's new book tells the truth about this organization and why it should not be ignored.

The mainstream media — silent on the Marxist ideology, violence, and militancy of groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) — deceptively reported that the protests they inflicted on over 200 U.S. cities in 2020 were “mostly peaceful.” It deceitfully transformed the mayhem into a “summer of love.” Widespread rioting, looting, arson, murder, assaults, and destruction of property and businesses went unreported. Such abject failure explains why polls consistently rank the media among America’s least trusted institutions.

Given media complicity with radical groups, it’s not surprising that the Los Angeles Times dismissed Andy Ngo’s Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy as unserious, “supremely dishonest,” and “self-serving.” While video-recording left-wing protests as part of his independent reporting in 2019, Ngo was assaulted and hit with a milkshake containing quick-dry cement. But the Times dismissed his allegation of a brain injury from that attack. It says he’s fixated on the “imaginary threat of Antifa” and ignores the “real danger” from far-right extremists.

Ngo’s book is a riveting exposé of the background, structure and workings of the collectivist militant group, set on destroying capitalism and America’s history, culture, and institutions. He presents an accurate, well-researched picture of this insurrectionist movement, its widespread network and its hostility to the rule of law and democracy.

Antifa origins trace back to 1932: it began as Antifascist Action, a paramilitary faction of the German Communist Party. It emerged in America in the 1980s as a marginal group, remaining so through the 1990s and 2000s. About five years ago, it surfaced in earnest, and now counts students, academics, journalists, lawyers, and politicians among its members and supporters. They use sophisticated methods of propaganda, outreach, recruitment, fundraising, and reconnaissance.

What many people miss is the coordination of ANTIFA/BLM with RevCom, the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA under the leadership of Bob Avakian and his vision of “Maoism” or Nrw Communism. This group could be calling the shots for ANTIFA/BLM. There is also coordination with the democRAT party, though I have not seen much investigation of hierarchy or lines of communication.

In another world, the leaders of these groups would have been sent to jail (or worse) for what they advocated. Instead, we let them hide behind the First Amendment, and they then used it as a weapon to seize power...which is where we are, and which is why I’ll soon be out of here.

It’s bad enough to live in a Socialist state, which will be required of all people on this planet once the Democrats get a bit further along here, but I have no plans to live in a Socialist state where I’m also considered an ‘Enemy of The People’.

World history is full of people who managed to live out their lives comfortably after reading the tea leaves and leaving early, and world history is also full of genocides and other mass killings.

They may be right about the “right wing extremists”. At some point, everyone on the right will rise up and kick Antifa to the curb.

The thing is always “them whose got it and them who ain’t.”

Those without much, who own no land, risk little compared to those who own property and have jobs—’the rich.’

It’s like the historical hunter-gatherer tribes periodically descending from the mountains onto the sedentary agriculturists in the valley— a cyclic re-dramatization of those historical events dressed up in political language.

They have no interest in politics; they’re all but illiterate. They just want to burn us out and take our stuff. If they lose most expect they won’t be pursued and will get away.

Our own circumspection and conservative natures has us hogtied. We’ll not have the resolve to take them out until we’re willing and ready to forsake the next generation.

“We’ll not have the resolve to take them out until we’re willing and ready to forsake the next generation.”

I could follow to this last sentence. As I see it, the people who remain in the US will feel like the Jews in Europe, as they started figuring out that those boxcars weren’t taking them to ‘greener pastures’. In other words, it will be too late by then, far too late.

There is absolutely no evidence of that occurring. To the contrary the opposite is actual.

Conservatives whine and make excuses rather than act

“Where are you going to go? There’s no new world to sail to.”

The New World wasn’t so great, given the engines that would strike in the middle of the night.

I’ll give details later, as it’s a huge task and I don’t want any more competition for immigration slots than needed, considering the mass migration that will soon be taking place from the US.

“ Conservatives whine and make excuses rather than act”

If true, then our movement was doomed from the start. We need the 1776 fire in the belly. Absent that, the left runs rampant over all our values. Are we going to just take it? If that’s the plan, why waste time whining and complaining?

At least I’ll get
My sun tan back.
