The Left wants a race war in America because they cannot otherwise win the ideological war they are waging.
The former is a cover for the latter.
Outside of Ivy League faculty lounges, Marxism cannot be sold on its merits. Whether in Central America or Eastern Europe, Marxists consistently have laid waste to the proletariat they promised to elevate. Rather than shift the means of production and power to the masses to achieve a truly just and equitable society, Marxism in its various forms has killed upwards of 100 million people since its ideological debut in the late 19th century.
Today’s Marxism, therefore, lacks a compelling or substantive historical case and thus necessitates a righteous façade. So today’s Marxists downplay their true interest in destroying the nuclear family by marketing themselves as Black Lives Matter, merely pretending their primary interest is ameliorating racial wrongs past and present, because that is the best way to capture the attention of Americans.
Like the gelatinous creatures in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” today’s Marxists infiltrate K-12 school systems, college campuses, the arts, media, and government regulatory agencies, and replace sapient beings with their Marxist duplicates. “Gosh, Sally looks the same but I don’t remember her wearing a P-hat and scrawling out ‘Whiteness is the Real Pandemic’ placards in the staff break room.”
Today’s Marxist tactics are purely about political expediency. Since both political parties support bribing people with their own money, one more $1400 “relief” check doesn’t generate the unbridled, unthinking, and institutionally destabilizing reactions today’s Marxists seek. Thus it is far more effective to zero in on an important aspect of how people identify themselves—that is, their race—and reduce them to nothing more than that race, followed by assigning “oppressor” and “victim” name tags accordingly.
Then it’s off to the races, so to speak, where every problem is sourced to America’s allegedly racist DNA and every solution is found through atonement by the oppressor racial groups, though absolution will never be granted.
Today’s Marxists are not to be confused with yesterday’s Black Nationalists. In fact, they are happy to include other factions on the intersectional spectrum. For example, demanding that men be able to play women’s sports, promoting hysteria around crimes against Asian Americans, or decriminalizing consensual incest are goals welcomed alongside racial reparations, for they provide the potential for acquiring political power, which is the Marxists’ only principle.
In fact, in advance of obtaining political power, today’s Marxists are even happy to careen from race-obsessed to colorblind. Take the death of former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
Today’s Marxists seized on Sicknick’s death as an opportunity to demonize Trump voters, whether present at the Capitol on January 6 or not. They invented and perpetuated the fiction that Sicknick was murdered, which is now thoroughly debunked, in order to recast the lawlessness at the Capitol as another manifestation of white supremacy.
Today’s Marxists, including their fellow travelers in Congress and the D.C. press corps, simultaneously mourned the dead officer while impugning his department as complicit in the melee on January 6 and racist. Their sophistry went along these lines:
1) White Trump voters got away with rioting and murdering a cop;
2) They are violent insurrectionists who attempted a coup;
3) The police would have opened fire and massacred those who stormed the Capitol had they been black; and
4) You will be lumped in with the insurrectionists unless you disavow any concerns, complaints, or questions about the administration of the 2020 election in any state or locality in order to reenter civil society but your Trump vote will remain on your permanent record for social credit purposes.
With incidents such as these, long before a factual accounting of what actually transpired, comes the snap judgment, the moral panic, the professional agitators’ performative protests, and weeks or months of stilted media coverage repeating what today’s Marxists want to be remembered and glossing over what they want to be forgotten.
The same goes for police-involved shootings.
The details blend together such that only the most dogged news consumer can distinguish the facts in the cases involving the names we are told to repeat aloud like it is an incantation that will heal the nation: George Floyd, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, et al.
And that’s the point. Take with you only what you were told to feel and none of what you were told not to recall.
Fundamentally, today’s Marxist is the sentimental barbarian. You are good. Don’t think. Feel. Whatever you feel is your truth. Since you are good, act in accordance with your feelings.
This is who C. S. Lewis wrote about when he observed, “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.”
Today’s Marxists’ ideological pursuit of tyrannical control transcends race, which is merely a stealth bomber in their fleet. This is not a race war. It’s something much bigger.
Marxists downplay their true interest
Indeed communism goes by many names many times many places.
This is good versus evil.
My real comment would just get removed.
The revolution is already over.
01/06/2021 was an unarmed peaceful mistake.
the issue is never the issue. the issue is always the revolution.
blacks will be servants to the state just like everyone else.
oh the irony! blacks are actually fighting to re-establish slavery.
Look to the present Joe. The exact same dynamic was operating in 1861. Liberals just needed a proxy excuse to invade people so that Liberals could remain in power.
How do you suppose a Washington DC "state" is gonna vote Joe?
Is it about civil rights for Washington DC residents, or is it about adding to the power coalition of Liberals controlling the government?
Tell me Joe, is it morality, or is it power?
BLM is the democrat’s useful idiots.
Antifa is their enforcement arm.
Last election proved all POC are not on board with Lin's
Tejanos for example
Naw... so far as I know, the Left doesn't even call themselves "liberals" these days, and there's nothing traditionally liberal about them.
What they are, and always have been is Democrats, the same people who ruled over Washington, DC, before 1861 and then rebelled against it when voted out of power.
Today, whenever they can rule oppressively, they do, whenever voted out of power they "resist" and rebel endlessly, implying we'll only ever see peace again when they are once-again in full authority over us.
It's what Democrats have always been, and will always be, if they're allowed to.
For Democrats it's only ever about their own political power -- in 1860 just as today.
You grasp the concept, you just can't grasp the fact that the Big City Liberals who believe in tax and spending and using the government for social policy, were the bad guys in 1860.
And that modern big city liberals who control Washington DC today, are descended from the exact same big city Liberals that backed Lincoln in 1860.
In 1860 they were Democrats, allied to Southern slavers to rule over Washington, DC, since the election of 1800.
Thrown out of power in 1860 by rural Republican voters, Southern Democrats declared secession & war against the United States.
Their Northern Big-City Democrat allies either supported the slavers or opposed them only half-heartedly, i.e., George McClellan.
After the Civil War, Democrats North & South quickly reunited and have been waging some form of warfare against the United States ever since.
Why is that so hard for you to grasp?
If what you are saying was true, the tariffs would have been 13% as the Confederate states made them, and the Congress would have voted to allow slavery in the territories.
Clearly none of that happened, so clearly you are wrong. Washington DC was controlled by Big City Northern Liberals, and it is still controlled by Big City Northern Liberals.
But tariffs were lowered to 13% in 1857 and remained there until Southern Democrats seceded and walked out of Congress in 1861.
And Congress did allow slavery in the territories.
So, thanks for making my point!
I hope that blacks and the LGBQT “community” realizes once the Marxists gain complete power/control those group will be eliminated. They won’t want those trouble makers around.
