"Peter" has some thoughts on the revolution.
There are too many examples of people being censored and deleted from social media, or fired from their jobs for politically incorrect comments or the failure to make politically correct comments. To cancel individuals who are the least bit unenthusiastic or unsupportive of the revolution. Likewise the mindless vandalism and destruction targeting historical and cultural icons. Spokesmen for the Black Lives Matter revolution admit that their purpose is to cancel our history, our founding, our country, our civilization, our race. They also publicly admit that they are Marxists.
History teaches us this kind of sentiment, this kind of movement is nothing new. Think of Kristallnacht, "The Night of Broken Glass" when the Nazis poured into the streets breaking the windows of Jewish owned businesses and looting the merchandize, setting fires and beating Jews. Sound familiar? The German people turned a blind eye to the violence, so it grew and became more organized. Then came the Holocaust.
Tragically there are many similar events throughout the history of other people’s as well. Many countries, nations, empires, cultures and civilizations have been targets of attempts to erase, to “cancel” them simply by destroying their buildings, monuments, statues, paintings, scrolls and other cultural artifacts, that is, evidence that they have ever existed. We have not been immune to that impulse either. We all know that both Nagasaki and Dresden had no military value. They were chosen as targets for bombing strictly to crush German and Japanese cultural centers to demoralize the population. Recent examples include the dynamiting of Buddhist statues in Afghanistan by the taliban, and of Greek and Roman era archeological sites in the Middle East, such as Palmyra, by ISIS.
And we are now witnessing, live and in living color, every day for weeks, the calculated escalating destruction of American historical and cultural icons. America is evil. It must be destroyed and replaced. Its Founding Fathers and defenders must be cancelled. This movement includes the decades long assault in our schools by means such as the textbook of American history by Howard Zinn and the recently contrived 1619 Project started by the New York Times. Both are widely used in our schools. And now their path of destruction is expanding to include memorials to black victims and black civil rights activists. The Black Lives Matter leaders are Marxists. Antifa just enjoy wreaking violence and destruction. They are the propagandists and legionnaires for the Democrat Party.
The danger is that no such revolutionary movement has ever been satisfied with the destruction of objects, even if they are priceless works of art or even if they memorialize something much nobler in the human spirit than the failings and hypocrisies of their times. The guillotines of the French Revolution claimed tens of thousands of victims, eventually even Robespierre. The Bolshevik Revolution and the communist regime it imposed on its huddled masses yearning to be free as it was promised to them by the revolution’s original leaders, instead killed tens of millions, even Trotsky and other original Bolsheviks. Mao’s bloodlust claimed one or two hundred millions. Che Guevara personally executed 4500, and Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge killed HALF of Cambodia’s population.
The propagandists of today’s BLM, Antifa and other Democrat revolutionaries promise an even more sustained, even more serious violence if Trump is re-elected. And if Trump is not re-elected, you can read for yourself on the Biden campaign website and other Democrat publications the details of their radical program for our fundamental transformation into a racist totalitarian communist dictatorship in the name of political correctness and social justice.
Those who fled from the workers paradise in Eastern Europe, East and Southeast Asia, Cuba, Central America and now Venezuela know what’s coming if a majority of Americans would actually vote these Democrats into power. We can only pray that the majority of Americans aren’t too woke to listen to us before we’re all “cancelled.”
God help us.
