The Floyd Riots Mark a Century of Communist Agitation (Jack Cashill nails it)
American Thinker ^ | Jack Cashill

Posted on 06/15/2020 4:43:16 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

As it happens, George Floyd died exactly 100 years and 40 days after Alessandro Berardelli and Frederick Parmenter were shot to death in a payroll robbery in Braintree, Massachusetts. These men have little in common with Floyd save that none of them deserved to die and that their respective deaths set off worldwide demonstrations orchestrated out of the very same playbook.

In the 1920s, communists had to erase some immediate history — namely, the fact that a pair of Italian anarchists murdered Berardelli and Parmenter in cold blood. The evidence that the anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, killed the pair was overwhelming. They were convicted soon after the murders.

In 1924, as the appeals process wore on, Sacco and Vanzetti caught a break of sorts. Lenin died, and Stalin replaced him. Always the realist, Stalin had no illusions that the Soviet P.R. arm, the Comintern, could inspire an American revolution. He focused his American efforts instead on defamation.

With Stalin's blessing, the Comintern set out to find a case that would undermine the idea of America, which at the time held great sway throughout the world. America was widely perceived as the land of opportunity, the ever beckoning home of the free and the brave. For the Soviet experiment to prevail, the American experiment had to yield. The world had to see America through fresh, unblinking eyes, not as the great melting pot, but as a simmering stew of xenophobic injustice.

In 1925, the Comintern came looking for Sacco and Vanzetti, glass slipper in hand. Almost immediately, "spontaneous" protests sprung up throughout the world. Europe's great squares filled with sobbing, shouting protesters, declaiming the innocence of the immigrant martyrs and denouncing the vile injustice of their persecutors. These protesters donated hundreds of thousands dollars to the cause...

"Yesterday, in my own neighborhood, I came across half a dozen high school kids (again, all girls) blocking the road, scribbling BLM and George Floyd related BS in the middle of the road with colored chalk."

Just more evidence that the 19th amendment wasn't such a great idea.

It's the same mentality as this

Jack used to be on the radio in KC, paired with a liberal whacko, but was was always cordial to her.

He's a great speaker, and I miss hearing him talk every day.

There was something about the preponderance of young females involved in this that distressed me.

They appear to be easily manipulated emotionally, and seem to be willingly manipulated.

Is it any wonder that the Left wants to lower the voting age to ranges I have seen suggested from eight years to sixteen years old?

Communism is what marketers would call an "emotional sell" (as opposed as to an "analytical sell"). In fact, the more communism is analyzed, the more it falls apart.

Communism is an "ideal" the same way that utopia is an ideal. As we know, communism sounds great in a sales pitch (equality, community, everyone working together harmoniously, etc.). Of course, as the socialists in Jamestown in 1607 would tell us, the reality of collectivism is quite a bit different than the sales pitch.

The fact that young women are being used in greater proportion may be because the marketers of communism perceive them to have greater empathy, idealism, and emotions than young men. In the minds of the communists, young women might be the perfect target market.

It's interesting how the mind works. My immediate reaction to seeing that photo of 3 pretty girls holding the "Refugees Welcome" banner was the (infamous) "You're About to be Culturally Enriched" meme.

I'm a little ashamed of myself.

“I’m a little ashamed of myself.”

I don’t get why you’re ashamed.
