I don’t mean to be offensive, but you’re naive. Imposing Marxism on the world is a fight to the death. This is the Left’s best chance to take America down. Dedicated Marxists have no problem at all with using violence to achieve their end.
This isn’t hypothetical. History shows us Marxism has always imposed itself via force. There is not one instance where it hasn’t.
Then let me clarify.
1) To pull off a Reichtag moment, in America, would require a series of events and not just one event. Or were you thinking along the lines of a nuclear bomb? That is truly the nuclear option upon which fallout would rain on Democrat and Republican alike. The more complicated a conspiracy the more likely it is to fall apart.
2)The Left is positioned in places of power but is not poised for total power. For instance, how is the democrat controlled federal government going to "take control" of the state of Florida where both house and the governorship are under republican control? And the other 49 states?
3)The left does not have total control of media - Internet, talk radio, cell phones, etc. The left poisons the airwaves but the right does counter.
4) Yanking the guns away from armed citizens will be costly. Where it will cost the left most is in blood but mostly in time. The longer they drag out such a coup the longer their support is likely to wain.
5) Are there that many dedicated marxists? There are a lot of fellow travelers (looters, hanger-ons, single issuers, etc), but what are they going to do, eliminate elections?
The best, most direct way for these clowns to pull off the coup is first by stealth - they will never admit that Obama was bred and groomed to be a leftist and never reveal what their true agenda is. Second, they will try to consolidate power (health care and cap/trade) and hook as many people to the federal government teat (amnesty, unions, card check), all at the risk of bankrupting the country. If they are that close to marxist control, then why the mad dash to shove all this crap through? No, they realize that their position is tenative.
They will try to undermine the Tea Party movement, but I have to say good luck suckers. But if you ask me their efforts so far are lame and rather gutless. The most audacious thing they do is lie.
And no, the dedicated marxist will never give up.
