Because THIS TIME, Communism WILL work...even thought it never has!

One of the ways to tell apart moderates and extremists is checking the brakes. The other is the constant infighting. And the two are connected. Extremists have no brakes so their movement is always going to new extremes and tomorrow’s radicals are cannibalizing yesterday’s radicals.
In my book,‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, I quoted a very telling line about the French Revolution.
“As the revolution becomes radical, the Right disappears, and the Left of one assembly becomes the Right of the succeeding assembly,” Mignet explained, describing how each new political incarnation became more radical than the last. “The Left of the national assembly became the Right of the legislative assembly,” he wrote, and then “the Left of the legislative assembly became the Right of the convention.”
Finally, he concluded, “the Left of the convention were those red terrorists known as the Mountain party.”4 These “red terrorists,” including Robespierre, were the worst of the Jacobins and would cover France in blood as they purged not only conservatives, but fellow leftists.
On that note, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders showed up at a rally to save Rep. Jamaal Bowman. This is a big deal because saving Bowman has become a litmus test for the Left’s electoral strength and that of the anti-Israel crowd in Congress. If they can save Bowman, they will claim that the Squad’s power is growing and AIPAC has been beaten.
So the Left has a lot invested in it. Or so you would think. But when you have no brakes, this happens.
Pro-Hamas protestors disrupted a joint rally between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) on Saturday.
The protest was organized by Within Our Lives, a self-described Palestinian-led, New York pro-terrorist organization.
“Endorsing Biden is endorsing the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” Within Our Lifetime wrote in a thread on X promoting the demonstration at the rally.
WOL was furious that AOC, trying to prop up Bowman and conduct outreach to some Jewish leftists, had condemned the antisemitism at one of its more deranged rallies at which the group got a mob to cheer claims that Jews at the Nova musical festival had it coming on Oct 7 while protesting a commemoration of the victims.
So WOL came to protest the Save Bowman rally. And how do you respond to that.
“I’m not supposed to fight back? We’re gonna show them who the f–k we are!” Bowman told the crowd as pro-Palestine protesters attempted to disrupt the rally with chants in a video uploaded to X. He proceeded to lead the crowd in a “cease-fire now” chant.
Classic Mensheviks vs. Bolsheviks. But the only way to break the cycle is for the Bolshies to take over and purge everyone else. Until the Left can do that, it’s a machine for spitting out even worse versions of itself.
It does seem like our Jacobins are eating each other. Time for popcorn.

Before the Left eats itself it first has to finish eating us.
Napoleon once said
“Never interrupt an enemy while he’s making a mistake”
What we are seeing is NOT a fight between leftists and more-radical leftists. We are seeing an attempted takeover of the Democrat party by Muslim nationalists, who figure they can use identity politics to their advantage.
The distinguishing difference between the American and French revolutions, was the American revolution was the middle class being tired of being milked by the British elites, while the French Revolution turned into a contest of who would grab and keep the expropriated wealth of the old aristocracy.
In a competition between thieves, the more ruthless killers win.
TOTALITARIANS v totalitarians...down the stretch they come. At the wire it’s TOTALITARIANS by a severed head. The “strong horse”. We all lost.
“...the more ruthless killers win.”
BUMP

This is all theater. Every one of these protesters will still vote for the most far left democrat in every election.
Same cock-and-bull story I've been hearing for more than half a century. If that's true, either that cliff is very far away or the demoncrats are driving mighty slow, because they should have run off it decades ago.
The truth is, when depravity is the linchpin of your plan for the new world order, it isn't possible to sink too low.
It is not Leftists voting that matters anymore. It is when their "mostly peaceful protests" against each other's factions turn into violent confrontations and assassinations that matters.
They are escalating to that point. It is a key indicator of when we may be able to take effective actions to remove the Leftists from power. Wait for it.
"Effective actions" might actually include voting them out of office.
