Occupy Movement Says ‘Violence Will Be Necessary to Achieve Our Goals’
PJM ^ | Oct 11, 2011

Posted on 12/19/2012 6:07:33 AM PST by combat_boots

Citizen journalist Ringo captured this speaker at the Occupy Los Angeles camp a few days ago letting the cat out of the bag: After dismissing nonviolence as a dead end, he admits that for the Occupiers to achieve their goals, violence and bloodshed will be necessary:

(video)

Here’s a transcript, starting at 32 seconds into the video:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Occupy L.A. Speaker: “One of the speakers said the solution is nonviolent movement. No, my friend. I’ll give you two examples: French Revolution, and Indian so-called Revolution.

Gandhi, Gandhi today is, with respect to all of you, Gandhi today is a tumor that the ruling class is using constantly to mislead us. French Revolution made fundamental transformation. But it was bloody.

India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in maximum poverty.

So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class.

Long live revolution! Long live socialism!”

Crowd: [Cheers.]

Incredibly, he praises the massacres of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror rather than Gandhi’s nonviolent philosophy.

And the crowd laps it up.

And I’ll be more than happy to show them the errors of their ways. Bunch of stupid atheists.

Good. I wish they would bring it on. Revolution may be the only way to save this country but our side will NEVER start it.

“Occupy the NRA. A nice non-violent protest at the headquarters of the NRA would be interesting. Stay off their property. Hold up large signs with pictures of shooting victims (you have thousands to choose from this year alone). Follow Wayne LaPierre every time he appears in public. I dare him to shoot you.”

Judging from the limp wristed, faggity ass spaghetti arms I’ve seen at OWS, this shouldn’t too much of a problem.

Bill Ayers always said he wanted to murder 25,000,000 Americans to show us who’s boss.

India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in maximum poverty.

Actually, now that India has largely abandoned its socialist policies, its people are rapidly moving up from poverty.

Still a lot of poor people, but a lot fewer than under socialism.

No doubt the reason the speaker was launching into this invective. He surely realizes that his mob of slackers raised on conflict resolution classes at school and Kumbaya sing-alongs makes one p*ss poor Army for a Revolution.

Substitute Tea Party for Occupy Movement and you would see a fire storm of reaction.

I say - Bring it on and let’s get this over with. The Class War is coming, at the behest of Obama, at this point, the sooner it is fought and finished, the sooner we rebuild the America we all love.

The result of the French Revolution, besides the killing off a large segment of the population, was an empire headed by a dictator (Napoleon).

But I suppose OWS would be fine with a dictator, and a little population cleansing would be a fine bonus in their mind.

Of course, they probably assume it will be their dictator in charge when the dust finally clears, and most of those liquidated will be "others".

Apparently, the problem with all the bloody socialist revolutions that ended in dictatorships before wasn't bloody socialist revolutions - it was that the wrong people were in charge. This time, they'll get it right.

I’m thinking of the scene in the “Return of the King” where the guy known as the Mouth of Sauron is making boastful threats just before the last battle. He continues his ranting — right up to the point where Aragorn cuts off his head.

If these drooling, knuckle dragging subhumans believe violence is necessary they’d best get their affairs in order.

When they start the revolution they wiil come anyone with money, not lots of money just more then them, history is full of examples of the underclass murdering all those who are successful and it is what they want to do here.

That is why they want to disarm us, that was the ropose of fast and furious, we stand on the edge of a major shift in AMerica, if we fail the world will live in darkness for a thousand years, your children and their children will be nothing more then slaves to the collective, much as we are now.
