What all this amounts to is the baptism of fire of what I have taken to calling the "liberal superstructure." This superstructure is the vast constellation of advocacy groups, think tanks, single-issue outfits, unions, and various other flotsam constructed by the left over the past half-century or so. There are literally thousands of these groups, ranging from the ACLU and the Sierra Club with their hundreds of thousands of members to the local "Friends of the People's Venezuela" outfit which amounts to a retired feminism professor and her six cats. These organizations are ubiquitous, universal, and networked to a fare-thee- well. They are also liberalism's last great hope of controlling politics in the United States.
It's scarcely arguable that, in the political sense, liberalism is on the ropes. Obama spent their last nickel. They have lost the House and will lose the Senate, with little chance of regaining them in the near future. The same is true of the White House once the messiah gets the bum's rush come 2012. Liberalism is on the skids, its programs uniform failures, its ideology barren, its slogans worn out, its long hold on the independents being relentlessly pared down by the Tea Parties.
So what is a political movement to do, particularly one as fanatic and apocalyptic as this one? Well, if you have an alternate system made up of outside organizations not subject to governmental oversight, a system populated with self-selected fanatics and true believers, a system poised and ready to march, you can do what was done in Wisconsin. You can turn the superstructure loose to threaten the public peace, smash things up, abuse the electoral process, create a media spectacle, and pressure the state to do things your way. You can use nonpolitical organizations (in the electoral sense) to get a political result.
All the groups involved in the Wisconsin campaign were superstructure groups. The unions, the very core organizations of the superstructure, without which it's no more than a pack of vegetarians and aging hippies. The media, which serves as its propaganda arm. And the judiciary, which is broadly infiltrated by leftist partisans whose allegiance has been awarded to something other than the law.".........

THe key to this protest is Stop The Machine, a mixed bag of communists, marxists, socialists and far-left liberals (no conservatives allowed).
They played a major role in protests in Wisconsin against Gov. Walker and announced that they would support similar organizations.
Another allied group was Wisconsin Democracy Convention, often with the same marxists involved in leading both.
They have ties to the marxist Democratic Socialists of America and possibly to Soros. That will need to be further explored.
Look for the National Lawyers Guild, once a totally Communist Party USA front, now a mixed bag of marxists, to provide the demonstrators with legal help. Also another CPUSA creation via the NLG, the Center for Constitutional Rights might pop up as a legal helper.
There are a lot of unaffiliated individuals in these protests so don’t lump them all in with the reds as members, but they have created an “united front” much as the CPUSA and SWP did during the Vietnam “Mobes” groups.
Once the reds get control of each regional/city group, it is all over for any non-communists. Been inside them. Saw it happen.
Forwarned is forearmed.
There is ZERO reason the Air and Space Museum at Boeing should not get one of the shuttles.
I sadly disagree with you. The MAJORITY of people in America now are “GIMMES” and “Envious Ignoramouses”....AND GODLESS.
****Ann Wilcox, a lawyer working with Stop the Machine, said a 19-year-old woman from Madison,****
When the WORKERS revolted ad destroyed the machines, the people in the upper city lit lanterns and partied on. the lower city where the workers lived and worked, was flooded and destroyed, because the workers had destroyed the machine,
