“The issue is the revolution.”

I don’t understand what you mean. A revolution, in my mind, is designed not to change things that don’t mean anything, but to change things that can alter history or existence. Tearing down historical monuments of a time well back in our history, bad as it was, will not decrease the memory and will not make our current conditions change, improving them or not. All this is a blip in time so someone can get their little unimportant cause covered on national news. And to do it part way is where it fails to mean anything.

I’ll bet there are far less than half the population of the US even knew those monuments existed. Now, I’ll wager a whole lot more know. So, outside of collect pigeon droppings for all these years, what did they mean to society? Nothing. And it means nothing if they come down. They are not the Statue of Liberty.

“The quote is a leftist mantra.”

The smoke and mirrors aspect of the liberal attack trying to gain the moral high ground, is not new. The article you displayed was an example of the playbook used by socialists a hundred years ago and further defined by Saul Alihsky, who died in 1972, appropriately in California:

“Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

“Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

“Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.

“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.

“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.

“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

So I don’t look at it as being anything but a media blitz to try to influence the low IQ. The article you displayed was using Wall Street and it’s failures while further displaying the welfare problem. It’s just another ploy. And until the media writes it straight rather assisting the socialist movement, which is a perfect definition of the theories of Obama and Clinton who both studied and conversed with him through the mail, it is going to continue.
