Communism will win!

West Point

Там у него в фуражке не хватает “…by 1980″. Но и так хорошо. Интересно, это Second Lieutenant Rapone шутил так или в Вест-Пойнте теперь историю тоже марксисты преподают? Из пресс-релиза не очень понятно.

West Point

Лет бы тридцать пять назад такое, вот бы старички из Политбюро порадовались.

UPD: нет, не шутил младший лейтенант.

The West Point graduate is a member of democratic socialists of America (DSA), a group that boasts an impressive rise in membership since Trump’s election, and now claims to be the largest socialist organization in the U.S. Socialists have responded to conservatives by retweeting the image posted by Rapone, and calling him brave and an “inspiration.”

UPD: никаких шуток.

Rapone has complained that the military as such “reifies capitalism/imperialism with a brutally hierarchical rank structure” and said that his fellow service members “lust for war and conflict. They fetishize violence.”

In June 2016, Rapone said that because “Fascists dehumanize political opponents…Violence against the far right is resistance, not aggression.”

In a tweet from July 2016, Rapone stated: “With that speech, Trump confirms the worst suspicion: he is a fascist.”

In October 2016, Rapone said that the “The GOP exists as violence against black/brown people, Muslims, LGBTQ community, yet milquetoast liberals actively donate money to it?”

Такая антифа, только с элитным военным образованием, боевым опытом и (на данный момент) в рядах регулярной армии. Еще leo_sosnine интересную ссылку дал, за подлинность не ручаюсь, но в свете вышеизложенного почему бы и нет. Многообещающий кадр, в общем.

Хроники антифашизма

Right-wing paramilitaries have been training for years, descendants of the militias of the 1990s, reawakened by their horror that a black man had been elected president of the United States. They have uniforms, insignia, traditions and, not least, stockpiles of weapons. Not only do they thrive under a friendly president, but open-carry states like Virginia enable them to intimidate peaceful assemblies. For the racist right, violence is not only a tactic, it is a calling card.

Это из статьи в New York Times про антифа. Называется статья Who’s Afraid of Antifa? Краткое содержание: “In a world where racist movements form an archipelago of brown-walled islands — with friendly governments in power in Hungary, Poland and the United States — antifa fights back, and although not murderous, is not squeamish about its means.” Автор, само собой, professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia.

Тем временем в Беркли одержана очередная победа над фашистами: Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley

История ползет по эвольвенте

Избранная в горсовет Сиэттла социалистка немедленно развернулась вовсю.

Now Boeing is threatening to take those jobs to other states. “That will be nothing short of economic terrorism because it’s going to devastate the state’s economy,” she said.

Sawant is calling for machinists to literally take-possession of the Everett airplane-building factory, if Boeing moves out. She calls that “democratic ownership.”

“The only response we can have if Boeing executives do not agree to keep the plant here is for the machinists to say the machines are here, the workers are here, we will do the job, we don’t need the executives. The executives don’t do the work, the machinists do,” she said.

Sawant says after workers “take-over” the Everett Boeing plant; they could build things everyone can use.

Фабрики – рабочим, в общем. Пора вводить новый тэг, “liberals” уже не хватает.
