No one knows leftist radicals better than David Horowitz, the former Marxist, Black Panther advocate and editor of the New Left's Ramparts magazine who had a political conversion and became a world-renowned conservative author and activist. He says Black Lives Matter, Antifa and Occupy Wall Street all seek the same thing: a progressive, aka socialist, revolution in America – and they are far closer to achieving it today than '60s radicals ever were.
He expressed serious concern over the number of states creating a new category of crimes called "hate crimes." These are "thought crimes," he said. "This creates the foundation for a police state. The next step is outlawing hate speech." The regulation of speech is also happening in the private sector, from the mainstream media to social media. "We are one election away from Fox News being banned by cable and satellite companies as hate speech," he warned.

They've been trained to push the envelope.
The cops have their hands tied.
“...The cops have their hands tied....”
And Wray has tied the FBI’s hwnds.
Indeed.
People have posted youtube videos about swapping a modern carrier strike group for the entire 1942 US Navy in the Pacific but imagine if 1960s politicians were in charge in place of the current sedition supporting Left wing twits today?
This is what we are witnessing in the blm and antifa movements, they are Hillary’s frontline, brownshirts of her “resistance”
Ever notice how Bill Ayers was aligned with Obama???? Ever notice how Susan Rosenberg is the advisor to the blm??? Susan’s sentence was commuted by Clinton on his vast day in office. Both blm and antifa are alive in western nations.
This horseshit was in the pipeline over the last 8 years of Obama as he embedded his players in key government positions. Now, add in some Alynsky... and more Hillary.
Trump got in the way of their program, their “death to America” agenda. It’s still in gear, but Hillary was supposed to win so they could flip America.
No they are not. Both groups are mostly astro-turf, they only appear more dangerous because Democrat politicians are supporting, protecting and encouraging them. If anything these groups are wimpier out on the streets. They don’t show up if there are armed police awaiting them and back down as soon as anyone with determination shows up. Anyone who says anything else is trying to empower this new paper tiger.
3rd reason - tens of millions of Americans now accept ANTIFA/BLM marxist theories.
I realized the minute I first heard the term ‘hate crime’ that the real intent of such laws would be to stifle and criminalize all speech that is not approved by the regime.
Hitler got rid of the Brownshirts.
So has corporate Amerika.
I believe that antifa is a paper tiger, too. Look how much discredit and destruction that antifa has wreaked upon Seattle and Portland.
However, many on the right seem to think if they are silent atifa, blm Marxists, etc., will simply go away. They won’t.
Good to see Senator Cruz trying to put democrats on the record as either supporting or rebuking antifa.
Yes, because in 2020 the decadence of Western Civilisation has afflicted far more Americans than it had in the 1960s.
Fortunately, President Trump and his millions of supporters are not among the afflicted.
Agreed. I think there’s a little ju jitsu going on here and that more and more people are seeing how insane, irresponsible and destructive these folks are. They are being used by the socialists who are trying to create a ‘crisis’. But I think the backlash will come at the ballot box, not the civil/race war they have been trying to gin up for the past several decades. As long as they stick to Dem run areas, they can continue to have their ‘fun’, but if they try to intrude themselves into conservative areas, they will be met with gun barrels and slink away, which has already happened a few times.
Antifa plays the same role for the Democrat Party today that the KKK played for it from 1870 to about 1920 — to terrorize the Party’s opposition and those the Party deems to be ‘deplorable.’ The targets have changed, but the tactics — and goals — are the same.
