Are they copying the Bolshevik play book?
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Mark Twain..............
If by “history”, do you mean the “have nots/accomplished nothing” people rally to steal from the “haves?” Well, yeah, that’s always going to happen when law enforcement/judiciary/kongress, etc. are complicit and corrupt.
Bkmk
After only reading the opening paragraph, I will note for the record that there is no way these commies can take over an America with more guns than people.
500,000,000 guns, 300,000,000 citizens, 20-50M illegals.
We will literally shoot them dead if they try to take our liberties and property.
For example, if I were a landlord in Mamdani’s New York, I’d have killed him already. He may not dictate to me how, to whom, and at what price I must rent my property.
For example.
We need to set these hard limits, and be prepared to live by them. Otherwise, communist enslavement.
History has been repeating itself for thousands of years. oy vey!
Actually we are seeing a repeat of the ‘30s attempt by the communists to infiltrate out gov.
Most of the State Dept under FDR were members of the communist party.
For sure much of Berkely was backing the communists.
After the fall of the USSR, documents showed that Jean Turlock was recruiting sparrows to have affairs with scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
Ernest Lawrence seemed to be the only one in Berkely who really knew what was going on.
I think the people will rise up and dispatch those creatures before it goes too far
Not buying it. The U.S. is not in the same social construct as Russia in 1917. We don’t have a Tzar, have not been fighting and losing a World War, have a constitutional republic, and most importantly, we have RKBA. Russian citizens did not.
If anything, the democrats will have a civil war in their own party, making them weaker.
“...the DSA has become notably candid. Its newly adopted platform, “Workers Deserve More!,” commits the organization to scrapping the U.S. Senate, “abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state,” defunding the Department of War, providing amnesty for all immigrants, and “replac[ing] the president and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.” It states outright that the goal is to “win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic,” requiring “building a new society from the ground up.”
Notice how they wish to eliminate all “checks and balances” and rule through a soviet “council”. Since Republicans, old time Dems, and Independents will not go along with this, they will be barred from running or serving in the soviets. Hello Stalinism, with lots of “carceral powers” of the socialist brand. Middle and upper classes will be slaughtered. DSA is an existential threat to our nation and our lives. Treat DSA members accordingly.
Maybe Warren Beatty will make another movie.
Hilarious that the schlubs who swallowed that hook, line, and sinker at the time ended up with none of those things.
Depressing that our youth have learned nothing from that example.
George Orwell, himself a socialist, took a particularly dim view of socialism's achilles heel, the socialists themselves. This, from The Road To Wigan Pier
The fact is that Socialism, in the form in which it is now presented, appeals chiefly to unsatisfactory or even inhuman types. On the one hand you have the warm-hearted un-thinking Socialist, the typical working-class Socialist, who only wants to abolish poverty and does not always grasp what this implies. On the other hand, you have the intellectual, book-trained Socialist, who understands that it is necessary to throw our present civilization down the sink and is quite willing to do so. And this type is drawn, to begin with, entirely from the middle class, and from a rootless town-bred section of the middle class at that. Still more unfortunately, it includes - so much so that to an outsider it even appears to be composed of - the kind of people I have been discussing; the foaming denouncers of the bourgeoisie, and the more-water-in-your-beer reformers of whom Shaw is the prototype, and the astute young social-literary climbers who are Communists now, as they will be Fascists five years hence, because it is all the go, and that dreary tribe of high-minded women and sandal-wearers and bearded fruit-juice drinkers who come nocking towards the smell of 'progress' like bluebottles to a dead cat.
By the way, there was no Wigan Pier. The title was a sly metaphor that went over the heads of the readers of the time.
