News from Portland is that left-wing protesters smashed up the Democrat Party facility in Portland as part of a larger night of violence last night.

Apparently, Biden being in charge isn't enough for them.
Maybe now you can see how painting the Biden D's as "far left radicals" was completely silly.

Couldn't have happened to nicer people...

Very Christian of you -- NOT! Have you ever heard of loving your neighbor and/or not judging others? Those are fundamental Christian beliefs. It's too bad that you fundamentally disagree with Jesus Christ.

Were these anarchists also Christians?
Running away from your own words: "Couldn't have happened to nicer people". The basic meaning of which is: they deserved it.

They never supported Biden. I think I even predicted this here when people insisted that Biden was in bed with Antifa etc. As far as I know, the people who go as far as property destruction are anti-electoralists. They’ve given up on elections in the U.S.

The image in the New York Post article?

The "A" symbol represents anarchism, with the AK-47 being a sign showing that they're anarcho-communists.

In other words, left-wing anarchists who want to bring down the government to establish their brand of communism.

Which should head off asking the question why a centrist Democrat being elected didn't satisfy them.

They didn't object to it, did they??

Not at all. Even if Biden were a centrist, the Marxist modus operandi has long favored allowing a weak democratic government to come to power, and then smashing it and establishing its own dictatorship.

Doing that serves several purposes. For one, it's a weak and vulnerable government, not one committed to law, order, etc. Second, it's then possible for the revolutionaries to present as an explanation for their overthrow of that weak government the myth that it was not capable of governing effectively and that the people, therefore, wanted a better one.

I'm having trouble putting that together with the revealed truth that ANTIFA is seamlessly joined to BLM and under the direct control of the Democratic Party.

It is interesting to see Marxist theory being explained here in nice easy-to-read bite-size portions. I look forward to a nice long thread analysing American Communism and Anarchism. Will Trotsky get a mention?

I think all this is a diversion. The real issue in my view remains the organised and well financed extreme right.

LOL as someone who talks regularly to a variety of marxists, I can assure you they have no one modus operandi. There are as many theories on how to proceed and what type of Marxism to aim for as there are marxists. The far leftists tend to be more accelerationists. They saw a second Trump administration as preferable since more people would then want a revolution if things got worse. They believe that when Dems are in power then the left settles down and stops fighting because we’re getting crumbs. I’ve debated that point with quite a few people in the last year.

Mentioning Anarchism in connection with Antifa is supposedly a diversion. How do you figure?.
Anyway, we'd be interested to read how the "extreme right" is either "organized" or "well-financed."

That should be an informative journey into conspiracy theories.

LOL! Trotsky will not get a mention. They don’t know who that is.
