We are seeing a very old Communist technique in action. When out of power, Communists, whether in Tsarist Russia or pre-revolutionary Spain, are big advocates of freedom of speech. Their libertarian sentiments vanish when they gain power. In a similar vein, Communists are champions of labor rights until they take control, after which they are worse than the former capitalist class.

This playbook long predates Saul Alinsky. There was a book written many years ago: "You Can Trust the Communists (to be Communists)". As true in 2020 as it was in 1920.

#8. The book “You Can Trust the Communists to Be Communists” was by Dr. Fred Schwarz, (Australian). Believe his group was the “Christian Anti-Communist Crusade”. He put out a fairly good newsletter, a precursor to the more professional “Accuracy in Media Bulletin/Report” (to which I was an occasional contributory and AIM co-founder).

Just FYI!
