By Big Al Food for Thought from Jim McKinnery
Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, openly called for a revolution. In socialist lexicon and history, “revolution” is the start of an insurgency to establish a socialist government.
His supporters were highly motivated and almost powerful enough to take out Clinton.
And Democrats are fracturing, losing power across the country, and desperate.
As they seek to define a direction, who can they rally to for leadership to mobilize the Bernie supporters and regain power?
My guess, Obama – who else is out there? Common sense, old school democrats are shouted down and lose to the extreme voices of the party.
In history, socialists used very specific tactics (not hard to see in our system today):
Undermine lawful authority.
Undermine faith in institutions.
Undermine democratically elected leaders.
Mobilize loyalists, silence moderates.
Initiate violent actions to inspire loyalists.
Force a government over-response as a rallying cry against in-justice.
Use propaganda to spread their message.
Establish regime of fear to counter-free thought.
Assassination, riot, and rally forces to the fight. (Rush Limbaugh/Matt Drudge need security.)
Take power with an established political figure who vows to calm the situation.
Control the military, law enforcement, and judiciary.
Establish a socialist regime.
It lasts a few years, and fails.
The extremist will do anything to achieve their aims – but what are those aims?
Someone tell me what Democrats stand for that is in most Americans’ best interest?
This is their downfall.
And they lost the military, law enforcement and judicial system in the election.
The extremists have support, but common sense will prevail – more Americans will support stability over fear and violence – most have a good life and don’t respect free-loader thinking of Bernie supporters.
They will try revolution, and it may get a little ugly by our standards, but they will fail.
My take anyway,
jim
