The Revolution Is Winning

Radicals from the 1960s and 1970s now hold powerful positions in government and academia...

This is what the revolution looks like.

Weather Underground terrorists, who made no secret of being anti-AmeriKKKan “small-c” communists, are having more success than they could have dreamed of in the 1960s.

They are dominating the language. You know that whole “white privilege” nostrum that we’re paying universities $60K per year to drum into our children’s brains? It is derived from their lamentation of “white skin privilege.” In their ideology, the revolution to overthrow the capitalist, racist, imperialist system summoned them — lily white radicals — to abandon their privilege and embrace the armed struggle.

Among their most influential thinkers was Bill Ayers. He got a windfall from the government’s failure to prosecute him for the bombings he carried out and the mass murders he planned but was insufficiently competent to execute. It was a second career as a “Distinguished Professor of Education” at the University of Illinois. As Sol Stern relates in a 2006 City Journal essay that should be required reading today, this entailed designing curricula used by today’s hard-Left academics, based on what Ayers saw as a moral imperative to convert schools into social-justice indoctrination labs.

It worked.

...Chesa Boudin, the son of Boudin and Gilbert raised by Ayers and Dohrn, is a rising political star. Just 39, he has authored the memoir Gringo: A Coming of Age in Latin America, studied at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, gotten a law degree from Yale, completed a stint in a big-city public defender’s office, and, just last year, been elected that city’s chief prosecutor — district attorney for San Francisco.

Rhodes Scholar, Yale Law, San Francisco DA.... it's good to be a revolutionary and take advantage of all our great nation has to offer while working to destroy it.

Rocky was losing too, until Mick signaled him to unleash the southpaw.

We need to start an AOOF countermove ent (all out of *****)

I remember the Brinks murders in Rockland County, NY all too well, I grew up near there. Aside from the atrocity of it all, one thing I noticed, this crime was committed with ILLEGALLY OBTAINED FIREARMS. Yet not one peep of outrage from the gun grabbers at the time. Not from Handgun Control Inc, the Brady Campaign or any hack politicians or a-hole celebs on the gun control bandwagon, who were still raising holy hell over the murder of John Lennon a year earlier. Their silence spoke volumes. I learned early on how the left thinks they’re slick when it comes to picking and choosing their battles.

Revolution is all fun and games when you believe yourself to be a commissar, until you realize you are not.

Well, if the Party of Lincoln gave them the moral high ground on the racism issue, the Party of Lincoln can damned well live with the result. Do me a favor and Wikipedia the Bull Moose Party and tell me it’s 1912 platform. I’ll wait right here.

I hated boxing southpaws.

Could never get used to boxing southpaws.

You train for one type of fighter 99 percent of the time.

Getting jabbed by the right and forgetting the left hook was always brutal.

Revolution is all fun and games until reality sets and we fight back

And the corporate Marxism that’s defecating on the Country.

[stinkerpot65]

We have yet to grasp just how truly evil Democrats have become.

[Carriage Hill]

It’s going to be a long, hot and bloody time, leading up to, and after, Nov 3. I’m steeled for it. You ready?

[dynachrome]

“paying universities $60K per year”

If you’re doing that, you are a fool.

[TLI]

The revolution has lots of money, organization, control of the schools, support from one of the nation’s two major political parties, and the media megaphone. That is why the revolution is winning.

Winning?

Really?

What is the "prize" they will claim for "winning?"

They should be careful.

In order to win they must fully play the game.

It will not be what they want it to be.

They might look like they are winning on some parts of the country but, sorry to break this to you and your NRO NeverTrumpers Andy, but we the good guys are going to win in the end. We ate America and we win the other guys lose.

[Jacquerie]

I read only half of the article. Couldn’t stand to read any further garbage from these America-haters.

I think you’re right.

“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” - Sun Tzu

I think the “revolution” is all tactics without an overall well-developed strategy - the noise before defeat.

Typical wet blanket McCarthy. I know Rush and Bongino and Hannity love him, and he gives good analysis on the legal pros and cons but just from the excerpt above, it reads as his usual throw-up-the-hands.

Ok, am I an honorary member of the FR don’t-read-the-article-first Club? /s

People have to be honest this is a death match. Either we kill them or they kill us there is no middle ground. Let the shooting begin.
