I DO KNOW ABOUT COMMUNIST INSURRECTION. ESR IS RIGHT. THEN AGAIN, HE’S WRONG:  I caught some flak in my replies at the time from people who thought an insurrection based in urban areas isn’t practical under modern conditions. Antifa thinks it is. It’s what they’re planning for. One of the things I have to remind myself of occasionally is that most people know essentially nothing about Communist theory and Communist revolutionary tactics.

For the xless.

He’s absolutely, no sh*t right that’s what they think they’re doing. That they think they can win this. He’s wrong because he doesn’t realize how dogmatic the left has become, and how wedded to … not even history but the fictional version of history they’ve told themselves for decades, as a playbook. No. They can’t take the country from urban zones for various reasons, among others because our urban populations aren’t all with them, and those that are are largely as useful as a chocolate hammer. This is why the summer of love never made it to the suburbs, let alone the exurbs. Also because America has for decades written off its urban cores. Oh, the third reason is that Trump simply isn’t going to let them. This is what’s causing their screaming and pouting and siding with criminals as the National Guard cleans places like DC.  No, they never had a chance, but they thought they did. Remember it worked in the past and therefore…  Bah. They suck at adapting to changed circumstances. Thank heavens. That’s why they’re dying.
