Thursday marked the 151st birthday of the most successful revolutionary of all time, Vladimir Lenin. With only a tiny cabal of diehard followers, Lenin seized control of the world’s largest country and inaugurated a reign of darkness and terror that lasted seventy years.
There are many lessons to draw from the blood-soaked life of Lenin. But one of the most important is this takeaway for the terrifying “woke” moment America is living through right now. Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come.
The Bolsheviks were indisputably more murderous than today’s left (if only because they lived in a more violent age), but even they had to ramp up how much terror they engaged in.
At the beginning of their rule, in fact, the Bolsheviks were even willing to run a fair election. Just days after the October Revolution, they held the preplanned elections for Russia’s Constituent Assembly, anticipating an easy win. To their surprise, they were easily defeated by the Socialist Revolutionaries. And so, like any good leftists, they simply nullified the election and dissolved the Constituent Assembly. Since it was 100 years ago and the Bolsheviks were well-armed, it was enough to simply announce that the Constituent Assembly was closed. Today, they might concoct a more elaborate narrative, perhaps that the Socialist Revolutionaries engaged in “collusion” with a foreign power.
Once they had taken power, the Bolsheviks didn’t immediately launch Stalin-style mass purges. Instead, the Bolsheviks started off in a way modern Americans would find disturbingly familiar: By legitimizing criminal anarchy and co-opting the justice system.
In their earliest days, the Bolsheviks framed their political abuses as a “war on privilege.”
I think our dear leaders are more closely aligned with the Chinese communist methods for revolution, but all communist revolutions have similarities.
“... all communist revolutions have similarities.”
I am inclined to believe that there isn’t a “master plan”. Sure, there is an agenda, but the left is not exactly coherent.
That said, I think people who want centralized state control of the public tend to be the same kind of people, and forge similar paths. It’s not so much a plan as it is their nature.

They are PUSHING this button 24/7!!! I think we need to put Antifa/BLM in a camp and let them hash things out. They’ll just burn everything and themselves up.
Unless stopped, political trials, gulags, reeducation camps and cruel mental hospitals are the proven, natural means for Marxists to deal with the unrepentant. The leading American Marxist animals would happily crucify patriots if it helped to frighten the populace into submission.
The Left has infiltrated and gained control of every institution in America. All of them. Now these institutions will ratify every craven initiative pursued by the Left and claim it is merely the unveiling of the will of the American people.
This article is BRILLIANT and horrifying in the truths it reveals. It should be required reading for any young leftist . (The old ones are too far gone to reach with reason)
In a simple sense, the Bolsheviks simply co-opted an already existing, centralized, top-down czarist system.
A communist revolution did not work in Germany after WWI, because Germany, even with the Kaiser, had a much more localized and dispersed form of government. It had powerful local and state governments, it had independent local police forces, it allowed the owning of firearms. These were Hitler’s main obstacles in his grab for power.
If they USA wants to stay free, above all, the power of Fed.gov must be minimized.
Or perhaps by having 3 a.m. ballot dumps in swing states to defeat the opposition.
PING!
I read this bone head statement and figured this article was going to be equally wrong. George Washington was the most successful in terms of good outcome. Mao in terms of evil was the most most 'successful'.
The rest of the article makes up for this blunder though . Read it all and learn some history like I did.
Those things are coming IMO, particularly with this Executive Order: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/04/15/executive-order-on-blocking-property-with-respect-to-specified-harmful-foreign-activities-of-the-government-of-the-russian-federation/
political trials, gulags, reeducation camps and cruel mental hospitals
We have alls these now.
Who is Derek Chauvin?

Absolutely true! I am curious though as to why you posted me with this.
Where is John Galt ?
How to stop them is the question.
It is probably true that an already centralized system is easier to turn into a complete leftist totalitarian regime. That’s one reason I think our states are so important, representing islands of freedom and resistance, although so far only DeSantis and perhaps one or two other governors seem to realize this. The other states think of themselves as extensions of the federal government and enforcers of its policies.
That’s the reason that the left is relentlessly attacking states that show any signs of trying to control their own affairs in a way that might not be beneficial to the left. That’s the reason for their attack on Georgia, for example.
