Bottom line is he had a major hatred of the "establishment" and had a brilliant plan on how to destroy it.

The left is now the establishment. It's up to us to tear it down. Hate to say this but I've learned to respect a good enemy, and this man was a true (albeit misguided) genius.

Herein you illustrate the parodox of socialism: All the time it and energy it expends fighting fascism, ends up realizing it instead.

Brilliant? Hardly. Effective? Absolutely.

I'm going to quote Orwell here, from his masterpiece Homage to Catalonia:

In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.

[Snip]

Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the caitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that theis manoeuvre simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.

Consider that comment against the financiers behind UN Gobble Grubbamint, the environmental move-mint, the NEA, the sexual revulooshun, mass immigration...

All for the proletariat? Hardly. Destruction of the middle class? Obviously. Fat cats win? T'was ever thus intended.
