To fight it, my fellow university students started a coalition movement to protest it. This meant working with all kinds of reflexively anti-American groups, some were good then – like the state civil liberties union. Others were pretty scuzzy, like the Stalinist “Women’s League for International Peace” or the Democratic Socialist Alliance and the Progressive Labor Party front, INCAR. The what? The “International Committee Against Racism.”

They pivoted around at events not quite like cool gangsters, but like mobsters aiming to bust up a union action. They were half black, as a group – but actually led by a university biology professor who saw the threat of eugenics everywhere!

At any rate, the state version of the Drudge Report linked to a story of events in Denver, Colorado: “Confederate and American flags burned at Denver anti-racist rally” reads the headline. http://www.coloradoindependent.com/154105/confederate-and-american-flags-burned-at-denver-anti-racist-rally

“Around 50 people gathered to rally against white supremacy in the wake of the Charleston shooting. It was a loosely organized event, drawing from various groups committed to anti-racism. Coffee Not Cops – an anti-cop group that meets weekly for coffee and anarchist agitation – and the Denver Branch of the International Socialist Organization (Denver ISO) were hosts of a Facebook event billed as a ‘Rally against White Supremacy!’ until the page was deleted promptly after the event.”

“Denver ISO?” Sure enough, a few google clicks showed that INCAR – which had folded in 1996 – has been reborn as the “International Socialist Organization.”

The local leader says: “I am a revolutionary socialist – I believe in order to pull up the roots of oppression in our society, that we must replace our current system with a true democracy and an economy organized by the working class, for the working class.”

“I work in solidarity against any form of oppression under capitalism….”

And to do that, they hold weekly meetings to wade through the classics of Marxist-Leninism – all 91 of them in the group. All of this to fight white supremacy?

As another cause head puts it, the Founders were Indian murderers who owned slaves. Denver Cop Watch founder sgestured to the iconic statue of a Civil War cavalryman standing alone in front of the State Capitol…. “Why do you think he got a rifle right there in the middle of Denver, Colorado? ‘Cus he murdered Indians. He killed ‘em and made the way for white people to come right here.”

As the Confederate flag fracas makes clear, Southern Pride must be completely expunged because RACISM.

We must all be deracinated from our false White Pride in order for the New Man of anti-racist Marxism can bestride the earth. https://smashculturalmarxism.wordpress.com/tag/deracination/

No wonder the CPUSA decided not to field a presidential candidate anymore – because, as they say, the Obama Democrats are doing enough already to being about the revolution and the Worker’s Paradise.

Shades of FredHjr, indeed. It’s gonna be a long, slow march to inauguration day, 2017.

Williamson’s view of the scope is too limited.

Even should a Republican wins the White House in 2016, that’s not enough to change course fundamentally. A rising tide of the Republican party at all electoral levels is not enough to change course fundamentally.

I would be only too happy to be wrong in this case.

Couldn’t it be that this is the terminal, exhaustive effort of a movement that got a second wind from a once-a-century candidate that ticked enough boxes to slip into office? In other words, the punks got lucky.

Is anticipating a smarter electorate utopian thinking?

Law and politics follow the zeitgeist and the general will of We the People is a function of activism.

Next year you may be in a concentration camp, Mr. Williams. Politics, is that all you Elite Leaders and writers can think about? Figures. Can’t fight a war when you’re incompetent at tactics and strategy, can you.

I trained under different precepts and obey different codes of behavior. Although the “law” is the Law… supposedly.

Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.- You know Who

They’re not going to allow Southerners to get away with voting in blacks and abolitionist Republicans either.

“Cause pain before you injure. Injure before you maim. Maim before you kill. And if you must kill, make it a clean kill. Squeeze every drop of life from the opponent. Because life is so precious, it cannot be wasted, even in death.”

“Let him cut your skin, and you cut his flesh. Let him cut your flesh, and you cut his bones. Let him cut your bones, and you cut off his life.”

The point is, mortification of the flesh also known as the personal determination and guts to get something done, is a quality much desired and rarely found in human men and women.

Art has told us, perhaps unintentionally, stories about him being locked in a closet by Leftists, harassed, and his lunch money stolen. Well, the last one is figurative but pretty accurate.

I do not think a warrior or a citizen soldier trained in telling Authority to F off like Socrates trained himself to do, I do not think a warrior or a citizen soldier that lives by certain ancient precepts, would allow such an act against them. He would tear his bounds free, he would avenge himself upon his captors, and he would reap the balance a thousand times in his favor.

That’s not merely a skill, that’s also a survival mentality. A crazy mentality maybe, but a survival mentality, a mental state.

Why do some people have it and others do not? Well, why are some people idiots and others can memorize entire tracts of mathematical and english language texts? Shrugs.
