OAKLAND, Calif. — Last weekend, when a 27-year-old bike messenger showed up at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., he came ready for battle. He joined a human chain that stretched in front of Emancipation Park and linked his arms with others, blocking waves of white supremacists — some of them in full Nazi regalia — from entering.

Red Army Faction is back.
This time, the media and business are backing them.

??We have an organized military movement being financed and coordinated by the left, supported by their media growing stronger every day. I have no doubt they are armed.
We are seeing small bits here and there but have no doubt, these are the brownshirts and every underground totalitarian terror group you have read about in history.

When they pick up arms openly it will be the end of our nation unless they themselves are ended.

This the “Obama Army”, remember when he talked about this?

We’re in the opening phases of a Communist Revolution. People can’t see it yet, but let me spell out how the alt-left can win: Big City mayors tell the cops to stand down. They then hand the huge arsenals of automatic weapons the police have over to Antifa and BLM and they start ruling the streets. They terrorize the population with rape, robbery, and murder. It’s really that easy.

Oh yes, I absolutely remember- you are 100% correct although obama himself would not have worked so hard as to pull this off on his own.

When the interstates are blocked, the cities will starve for everything.

Do you think shooting "Nazis" will be that much of a stretch for them?

"Nazis"(meaning anyone who opposes the Left)shoot back.

Blocking the interstates isn’t going to keep the ships out. Most of our freight comes by boat, not by truck. Tucks are used to get the freight out to fly over country. Listen, you can’t win by blockading the cities from the roads. The Whites in Russia tried that and the Reds ate them alive. Do you think the Chinese won’t ship them tons of food? The only way to win is to take the cities back and line the roads with dead Reds as warning to what happens if you raise the Red Flag.

This is going to be very bad fight and trying to hide away in the country side will just get you and your family dead or worse, they end up slaves to the Reds.

Yep. We'll see Antifa openly carrying on the streets in Berkeley being treated far more leniently than us.

No different than most places, really. If you back the right party, you're allowed to carry guns in the streets. In fact, it's encouraged.

See 29.
They might not have much tactical training (yet) but they have very deep pockets.

They have sympathizers, who might be the controllers behind the drones with hellfire missiles.

These groups aren’t organized to fight the false flag Nazis that occasionally have a rally; they are organized to fight anyone opposed to the Bolshevik agenda

Yep. They see no difference between David Duke, Richard Spencer and their merry band of goose-stepping retards and a guy driving a truck with a Trump bumper sticker.

To them, and the media who support them wholeheartedly, we're all one in the same.

The secret to this is to not fall for it. Stay out of the streets and let them destroy property and fight the police.

There is nothing to be won even by kicking their asses.

Citizens will turn against anyone continuing to foment violence and interference in people’s daily lives.

Fighting with these fools is non-productive.

This is silliness. There aren’t enough of these people to do anything.

Ignore them.

You enlarge them by joining them in fighting, it’s what they want.

It’s ludicrous to think they will accomplish anything with their posturing. Let them fight with the police, or not. The populace will turn against them quickly.

There really are only two sides.

That's right!

In a general sense, this is the classic conflict between "good" and "evil."

But the "actors" in Charlottesville - those itching for a violent conflict, are both on "evil's" side! In that sense (I'm confining my comment to those who came to fight), it was Evil vs. Evil.

Even the VSP were not acting on the behalf of "good." They were under the direction of the Governor*. McAuliffe wanted a conflict because, with MSM's help, he planned to control the narrative and associate the white "racists" with Trump.

We are having a Civil War.

.

* ...and there are SEVERAL things about that which should concern us.

This whole thing is a farce... there is no way in living hell that the commies give a rats ass about those poor black people, the confederate statues or anything else that has to do with our American history... Their goal is to destroy our constitutional republic and the free markets as quickly as they can... As soon as THATS been accomplished all the dead weight, and that would be the non-working, poor health addicts and drug dealing black folk will be marched off to the gas chambers... Their looking for someone to support THEM, not for someone who they can support...

So we Americans, ALL Americans better wake up and smell the coffee before its everlastingly too late....

They’re the Fascist-Antifa.

The Fascist-Antifa are measuring everybody else by their own yardstick. Projection much?

Fascist-Antifa are in our streets demonstrating Fascist tactics.

I predict their ranks will grow now that being a part of the resistance has been declared "cool" by the media. Young people are always searching for an identity, a group to belong to. Antifa is undergoing a public rehabilitation right now. They're being romanticized.
