I get the sense that the Marxist Left truly believed they were about to deliver an era ending death blow to the Republic and Capitalism with the Hillary election
Marx ultimately taught that capitalism would extinguish all its markets and eventually collapse - I think they truly believed the moment was at hand as it were
Which means that the Trump election - which (at least to this point) bears all the marks of a TRUE opposition that's moving perpendicular to the New World Order types ....
Which means the Hard/Marxist Left only has two choices at this point
a) retreat and regroup
b) double down on the chaos theory and start using stronger intimidation / terror tactics
Which will lead to more of a backlash from an increasingly weary and pissed off "non Marxist' population -- which combines people from Libertarians, R-Party and the D-Party as well....if tins admin can keep it between the lines and not get power hungry / fall apart -- then they should be able to pick up some of the fence sitters out there as well (the ones Orwell claims are practicing "political quietism")
The wildcard that really bothers me is all the other non-American entities who have an axe to grind
North Korea, Cuba, Iran, China, Pakistan, elements within Saudi, Yemen, Sudan and other places where weapons and other things can be moved etc
I'm not saying this out of spite or hatefulness -- I really consider it a utilitarian stance
But if the Hard Left truly starts taking aggressive action on our soil -- like the old weathermen / SDS days -- then the response needs to be swift, violent and decisive -- don't play around with them
Cut the damn head off the snake (more like a hydra, right?) and make a public display of people getting their asses busted up, going to jail and fighting losing street battles.
I know how that sounds and I know that that approach creates new problems as well -- but unfortunately I 100% believe we're hurtling towards internal conflict that will - at least - resemble the Vietnam era once again
Hopefully it gets no worse than that
The more I read up on the foundations for Marxist principles - the more I believe that NORMAL LIVE AND LET LIVE AMERICAN CITIZENS (traditional Left / Right / all races / all walks of life) --- are seriously underestimating what's at stake and how prepared the Hard Left is to fight and kill without remorse
