The chaos and crime is part of the plan. Communist takeovers often open the prisons and turn the criminals loose on society. Their thought is that society will cry out for order and will give up their liberty in return for an authoritarian regime. As Vladimir Lenin commented about the chaos and crime the communists fomented under the Czarist rule...”the worse the better”.
Lives do not matter to murdering commies.
From 2020: The Floyd Riots Mark a Century of Communist Agitation https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/06/the_floyd_riots_mark_a_century_of_communist_agitation.html As the final hours ticked down, Porter had been standing vigil with others artists and writers in Boston. Ever the innocent liberal, Porter approached her group leader, a "fanatical little woman" and a dogmatic communist, and expressed her hope that Sacco and Vanzetti could still be saved. The response of this female comrade is noteworthy largely for its candor:
"Saved," she said, "who wants them saved? What earthly good would they do us alive?"
In George Floyd, our neo-communists found their own Sacco and Vanzetti, but much better.
