Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

I find it interesting the resident populist has such strong opinions against arguably the most famous populist uprising in history
 
The Mensheviks were coopted by the Bolsheviks.

Julius Martov wanted a broad, mass-based party that included sympathizers and activists (the Mensheviks, meaning minority faction).

Lenin wasnted a small disciplined party of professional revolutionsaries (the Bolsheviks, meaning majority faction).

Neither was a populist movement. Both were Marxist. The Mensheviks favored a more gradualist approach. The Bolsheviks were more militant.

How should we root out communism in this country?

For starters we should be as invasive as the autopen regime was with any member of antifa that participates in a protest. Track them and arrest them for a vanilla “insurrection” type of activity. Then flip as many as possible with threats of jailing / fining.

Additionally, we must track all funds for NGOs. This will be years of mapping out but essential to understanding how theee groups organize. Any person identified as funding these groups should be thrown in jail and wealth confiscated.

An interesting question but the answer is besides the point. Burden of proof is on the government not aces.

I’d guess that there are well funded groups who do sprinkle funding at Antifa themed organizations that aren’t connected with one another. No problem with the government investigating that relationship, but there’s a real threat to freedom of speech if we don’t hold our side accountable.

I'm not asking aces to produce evidence. I'm asking what he believes to be true.

Aces is brilliant. I put a lot of weight in his takes

I think it's appropriate to call antifa a terrorist org. And any group or individual donating to a terrorist org should face whatever the consequences of donating to a terrorist org calls for

I also agree, if we just started arresting the actual participants, and giving them maximum sentences, people would stop doing it

Just your life/livelihood if we fail against them.

But sure, have to really worry about phones being tapped or communications being monitored (as if this would actually happen to you).

That's why I thought Amy should have been investigated for paying Air (Airhead) to babysit her son. Air is the closest thing to a professional agitator I knew. He travelled to every demonstration that his funds would allow.

Lenin borrowed heavily from the Narodnik playbook and leaned in heavy handed populist rhetoric to mobilize (“Peace, Land, and Bread”). In many ways, he was the spiritual successor to that movement. I’d agree that the political ideology itself shared little in common with classical populism. Lenin distrusted the peasant class as land owners and viewed the urban working class as the true vanguards for his revolution.

My jaw (tee hee) hits the floor when reasonable people can't admit such a basic reality that Antifa exists, is well organized/funded and poses an existential threat to our country.

Damn those pesky Brits for building immense amount of infrastructure in India.

While taking their resources and subjugating the Indian people to immense discrimination and violence. While I think it’s fair to use caution when moralizing over colonialism, there’s really no question whatsoever that the side doing the colonizing gains the advantage.
