A motivated researcher could dig through the video way back machine and find plenty of footage of American commiescum announcing, loud/proud and clear, their intent to conduct a “Long March” through all our institutions.

We sat on our hands and just let it happen.

It’s as much our own fault as it is the domestic enemy’s. We allowed an obvious and self declared domestic enemy completely redefine the rules of engagement to suit themselves at will. We allowed that same domestic enemy to redefine words and concepts, including our Constitutional “protections” to suit their own ends at will and without contest.

We played the Vichy and the Quisling.

We were, all of us, moral cowards in refusing to confront the blatant domestic enemy in their predations and perfidies.

Well-stated, and I entirely agree.

Just as revolutions must reach a critical mass before they can be taken seriously, so does the resistance to them, the counter-revolution. Fortunately, dialectical forces always provide that pendulum swing. When the revolutionary force becomes too odious (as in the Reign of Terror in France or obama’s “fundamental transzformation”) the resistance gels and the counter-revolution begins.

It has taken conservatives this long to galvanize and start the pendulum swinging back toward sanity. Expect resistance. Fierce, probably even violent , resistance.

Other than outright military superiority, the two most critical components of control are media and finance.

Look at our own history: T Paine and continentals. Subversives use the same exact techniques; it's not like the 'long march' is rocket science.

So, the key question then becomes: why is/was it allowed? Well, the easy answer is if there's money to be made or power to be gained/enhanced. Lenin was exactly correct ie rope <-> capitalist.

As to why we/others wait until it's almost too late, well, that's just human nature. Recall what Churchill said:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

I've actually used this observation to develop a theory as to why evil always seems to eventually lose. It's related to just when you've basically given up hope, everyone seems to finally realize the 'do or die' moment has arrived.
