The Left's Last Spasm
American Thinker.com ^ | October 18, 2017 | J.R. Dunn

As far as anybody knows, the November 4th revolution/tantrum/jamboree planned by Antifa and its associate organizations remains on schedule. The “Opposition” – Antifa, the John Brown Clubs, Refuse Fascism, and assorted other scraps have announced that on that date the revolution will begin with a mass nationwide uprising that will continue until the Trump/Pence regime is overcome. Dozens of hundreds of the people’s vanguard will hit the streets, squatting at intersections and holding their breaths until the fascists are exorcised and the new epoch of light is fully underway. (Further details can be found here.)

Conservatives, as is all too often the case, have overreacted. Numerous sites, publications, and radio shows have featured rhetoric such as “Antifa Planning Communist Revolution for America on November 4,” “Patriots beware! ANTIFA plans armed uprising on November 4!,” and “The Leftist Chaos Will Be Coming On November 4th.” (Links withheld to protect the guilty.)

But the truth, if anything, is exactly the opposite. What we are experiencing, far from a deadly revolutionary upsurge threatening everything of value, is a historically unique situation where, for the first time on record, a leftist movement is in complete and accelerating collapse within a democratic polity. The upcoming people’s revolt is simply another symptom of this.

The Democrats, America’s de facto leftist party (note how a sworn socialist, Bernie Sanders, is effectively exercising leadership of the party without anyone so much as blinking) have lost over 1,000 offices nationwide in the past year. The GOP controls nearly two-thirds of all governorships and nearly half of state governments. The left’s political presence and influence is negligible across vast areas of the heartland.

We should not underestimate the opposition.

Remember that the Bolsheviks were a tiny minority in Russia when they seized power.

J.R. Dunn is making the right call... we're seeing a total collapse of the alt left... from the 'hoaxes', to violent anti-speech crap at Berkley, to fake 'tiki' torch nuts, to 'statues destroyed' to the Race Card NFL - NONE OF IT IS WORKING. The left is imploding.

I've been poking around antifa sites to see what kind of mischief can be expected here in Cleveland.

They're talking about the usual kind of crap in city centers, and they want to take it to the 'burbs too. Nice of them to tell us when they're planning it.

I don't know if they'll make it out to my neighborhood, but I will be practicing very conspicuous open carry on November 4.
