Marxist activists know well the effects of tearing down symbols of an institution. It is an act of aggression that is meant to intimidate and demoralize.
"Marxism?" you say. "What does that have to do with this?" Perhaps you haven't been paying attention to the leaders and members of BLM and Antifa themselves. Two out of the three founders of BLM have admitted to being trained as Marxist strategists, and were using those strategies from day one. Antifa members are notorious for publicly admitting they believe violence is okay to use in their case, and that the Establishment has to go. "What's so bad about Marxism?" you might say. Either you didn't pay attention in school, or it was never shown to you, or you never read the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. Here is the last paragraph in the document: "The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win." The people who think statue destruction is a righteous reaction to the killing of black people by police, or a reaction that is a long time overdue regarding slavery from the past, are in for a rude awakening. What do I mean by that? I'm not referring to any sort of retaliation. For some, the rude awakening will simply be the eventual realization that the intentions of BLM and Antifa were never to defend black people against injustice, but to destabilize America in order to remove democracy and install 'something else.' For others, the rude awakening will be their own desperate insistence that they are are "on your side!" while they are being beaten or murdered by the same radicals who pretended that calling police "pigs" worthy of death was in the nation's best interest. Everyone has an opinion. Some agree with the desecration of monuments around the country, and agree with a 'by any means necessary' approach that includes rioting, burning down private businesses owned by citizens, and beating and murdering others who get in the way or don't agree with them. Others disagree with this entire set of events, on the simple basis that making your voices heard peacefully will accomplish a lot more in the long run than using violence and destruction. Which view is 'correct'? We're at a point where it doesn't matter anymore. Pontificating on the sources of this zeitgeist, such as 30 years of collegiate Marxist indoctrination via critical theory, or successive generations of inconsistent and lenient parenting, is pointless. The sources of our problems are actually protected by the laws of our country, the same country these pernicious sources seek to tear down and recreate as their socialist Utopia. Anytime, anywhere, in any country, when people lose respect for authority and each other to the degree we're seeing now, there is only one outcome. All you can do is hunker down and pray you and your children survive. If this situation continues too long, you won't see the violent overthrow of America that these entitled brats are screaming for and fantasizing about...you will witness the first time the United States of America becomes a Police State. I don't know what kind of population was bullied during the Bolshevik revolution, but in this country, in America, 95 percent of us just want law and order. And I, for one, would be more than happy to know that someone who would threaten my family or my livelihood could be summarily dispensed with by Martial Law. Unfortunately for the would-be Bolsheviks in 21st century America, that form of strict and unrelenting law and order will be unmoved by the supplication of fools. |
