The Second Phase of Revolution: Rule of the Red Guards

American society is now in a revolutionary situation similar to the early events of the French and Russian Revolutions. It is a classic Leninist scenario.

The first phase of the revolution is mostly peaceful. It involves infiltrating, weakening, and converting the institutions of society to render them ineffective when the second phase, taking to the streets, arrives. Phase One is already fully accomplished. The executive branch, Congress, courts, media, educational establishment, much of state and local government, the corporations, the churches, are already deceived and demoralised to the point of paralysis in the face of violence. In fact they are abetting the revolution.

Antifa has already proved that it can operate violently without any official interference and is happy to enlist the criminal element when it takes to the streets. By one report only three of the 535 members of Congress has spoken out on the need to put down violence. Donald Trump, once thought to be a bold leader, hides in cowardly confusion behind the armed protection that is officially denied to the people. Everywhere officials have fallen to their knees before the mobs.

A violent thug who died in police custody has now become the Christ of a new anti-factual seemingly worldwide religion, near universally worshipped. This is not too surprising. In 1859 the New England intelligentsia made the psychopath serial murderer John Brown into a sacred figure. The Yankee segment of the American people, who rule most of the time, go crazy about every other generation. It happened in the 1850s-1860s when John Brown flourished and Republican mobs and military force crushed all opposition to Lincoln’s revolutionary war against a large segment of the American people. All done in a pose of moral righteousness.

The primary organs of our society are fully committed to an imaginary world governed by catastrophically false notions of history and of the working of human affairs. We used to say that liberals who were mugged were converted to conservatives. That does not work any more.

We had the craziness ruling in the 1960s and 1970s. Now it has come again. People wonder about the subjection of white women to the new religion of abasement. No mystery. Young white women have grown up in a society where their fathers, brothers, boyfriends are either wimps or con artists. Not surprising that they identify with the thugs who appear (deceptively, of course) to be actual men.

Once the powers are rendered ineffectual the third phase comes---the actual assumption of power---along with the denunciation and elimination of all the elements who are not on board with the new revolutionary regime. As long as they can keep their high places Donald Trump, Michael Pence, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton will have no problem in aiding and abetting the new revolutionary regime.

From where I stand the only people not against us is us, maybe. We have been moraly disarmed for a very long time. There is no way to tell the final outcome. But it won't be in our favor. Good news the yankee nation is falling.

Don't be slagging us Leninists with this 'liberal' slur. We'll take no back seat from Conservatives in despising the deceitful, selfish, lying, hypocritical liberals.

Leninists define class as the dividing line. Not Identity colour. Or sex. Or anything else. Leninists stress the widest unity of the classes of those who exist by the sweat of their labour. So to speak. Against the class that exists by the sweat off of somebody elses's labour. As Abraham Lincoln put it.

And Leninists don't have faith in uprisings not guided by the benefit of a revolutionary party. Just meaning you have to have a disciplined machine in place if you reckon to be successful.

And there's no hint of class or of a disciplined part in place. Antifa is not a disciplined body. It's just a loose tendency. The enemies remain the liberals.

We aim to call out and fight the liberals. Personally, I find honest conservatives to be honourable enemies. With whom I happen to agree on many matters.

Like this faked up virus lockdown and this opportunist Black Lives Matters campaign.

Dr Wilson, I'm thinking it has now come down to a simple matter of surviving. Move as far back into the woods as you can get. Have your Bible, firearms and ammo, and a chain saw. A country boy can survive, and I can guarantee you Hank Jr will never apologize for writing that song, or Dixie on My Mind, or If the South Had a Won (we'd have it made!)
