This Is a Communist Rebellion
I write articles on war. I have spent the last ten years studying revolution and rebellion cause I find it interesting and it pays. So imagine my surprise this weekend, when I saw a straight-up Communist Rebellion break out on the streets of the USA.
People in the media, on Ricochet, and my friends on Facebook just think this more of the same that we have seen in recent years. No, that was Stage 1. We are at the beginning of Stage 2. What Stages am I talking about?
First, let’s talk a little about Che Guevera. After the Cuban Revolution, he realized three things.
- Popular Forces can win against a regular army if properly led.
- The Revolution does not have to wait for favorable social and political conditions, the insurrection itself can create these conditions.
- The Countryside is the main battleground in underdeveloped Latin America.
All these Antifa guys wearing Che shirts; does it occur to anyone that they might be reading his books as well?
The US is not Latin America. The countryside is not the main battleground, it’s the cities.
Now we get to the three stages.
Stage 1. A defensive stage, where revolutionary cadres establish themselves in sanctuaries (universities) and begin popular resistance. I have no doubt there are hundreds of safe houses littered across American cities, not all of them known, where stockpiles of pre-positioned materials are set.
Stage 2. An equilibrium stage, where the guerrillas move amongst the people, increase their strength, and destroy government support and morale. This is where we are now.
Stage 3. A popular offensive stage, where the guerillas, acting as the vanguard, will lead the entire people in overthrowing the government and consolidating their power.
This is organized action by Antifa, an honest-to-goodness Communist front who has been preparing for something like this for years now. Berkeley, Oakland, Portland. Those were practice runs. They were testing police response in preparation for a large series of planned riots.
The Wuhan Flu has prepared the stage for this action in a way that Antifa could never dream. Tens of millions of people unemployed and cooped up for months. The perfect ingredients to encourage large scale rioting. I have no doubt that they dusted off operational plans and the leadership cadre set things in motion probably a few weeks into the virus.
Antifa is following the work of men such as Carlos Marighela, Douglas Bravo, and Abraham Guillen. They are Latin American revolutionaries from the 1960s and 1970s who took Che’s ideas and applied them to the then-new modern city environments.
It is in American cities where large groups of discontented people can be found. Workers, students, and the unemployed. Right now there are tens of millions for Antifa to go with.
They consider this a political-military struggle.
There are now Antifa cells that serve as revolutionary cadres.
They are out in the streets pre-planning and staging material for the riots at this very moment. Those pallets of bricks and water scattered about.
The actions they are to take will include assassination, kidnapping, sabotage, attacks on police stations (already happening), propaganda, and agitation through all media. They are currently working through some organizations for protest demonstrations, strikes (hard to do with everything shut down), civil disobedience, and what Antifa excels at, rioting.
All of these things are planned to have political effects. They are trying to undermine the faith in government by proving how inadequate and incompetent they are (lucky for them most of the places they are doing this to are run by Democrats). Urban guerilla warfare is designed to increase social disintegration.
They are trying to force the government to overreact and then crackdown, so they can get more recruits, more supporters, and more money.
That’s the goal of the riots. Antifa does not think this will work out in undermining the government; they think they can use this to recruit more people to their side. This is the start of a years-long struggle, one that has been going on since the Obama administration. They are the Vanguard for a true revolution that will strike down capitalism and lead to their new world vision for the USA.
I have no doubt their leadership cadre has been trained and is actively getting support from Russia and China. It’s not Twitter farms stirring up trouble. What do you think those Chinese Cultural Centres on University Campuses are just there to steal your secrets? They have been used to target people who would be interested in being Marxist guerillas, and many of them have flown to China on “cultural visits” where they have been given training in tradecraft and information operations in preparation for the rebellion.
I am not saying that the Chinese ordered this into active operation. That some sort of “Climb Mount Nitaka” order was given. But the idea that they and Russia are not training and supplying Antifa seems ridiculous.
So, this is the big one. I can’t believe it’s actually happening. That someone would actually try it in the continental US. But it’s happening and people need to be aware.
Certainly law enforcement seems to be getting the message. I don’t expect Antifa to succeed. I expect this to be crushed in a few months’ time. But we need to start changing the narrative because it’s the wrong one. Antifa is trying for a Communist Revolution in the streets of America.

The bail funds have a lot of support from collaborating Hollywood and other Bread and Circus industry celebrities.
I think many are noticing, but few have any evidence. It isn’t enough that the situation fits the outline like a glove. What is the evidence of other nations’ support and/or direction of the protests and violence?
Don’t forget the Deep State boys. They didn’t suddenly become the good guys.
I doubt there would be any evidence found. That would require somebody in government to look. They tend not to investigate Left wing stuff and when they do they do not leak / make it public. They are completely focused on investigating their enemies, the Right and Trump.
Which other country would actually benefit from this kind of chaos in the US? Even China loses if the US economy is disrupted.
–There is certainly evidence that Law Enforcement is taking notice of the situation, and I know people in the intel community. People will be taking this seriously.
–Just because they hate Trump, most of them are still Bush era Republicans. The establishment does not want to be lined against a wall and shot by the communists.
Depends on how you determine “losing”. A totally paralyzed US leaves China free to step up territorial aggrandizement, free to bully Australia, free to do lots of things.
China cares about power. The people in power will always eat well and live in luxury with innumerable servants. They don’t care much about the economy except if it increases their power.
Fair point, though an administration facing internal division can do things like go to war. Nothing unifies a nation or group like an external enemy. Seems risky – could go either way.
Their power flows from their economy. I don’t think they can ignore it. Disrupting the US economy in a fundamental way would kill the golden goose.
To be honest – it’s clear (imho) that organized groups are trying to take advantage of, and attempting for that reason to exacerbate, the current tensions in America.
But blaming it all on a ‘foreign hand’ is like people insisting that Trump was elected because of Russian intervention rather than actual, significant discontent in the US with the system as it was. It’s an ideological blind spot.
I don’t blame anything on a foreign hand. We have plenty of domestic hands.
power doesn’t come from an economy. Power enables an economy. Power comes from force.
The heck he can’t. His MO is to donate to organizations so he doesn’t personally have to go worldwide himself . . .
Jail has a much higher cost than prior to Covit 19. Jail time even for a short period should be much less attractive. The more the better, maybe even get a little crowded.
In my rural community in Northern California, I noticed a young man seated in an expensive SUV. He had set up near a shopping center and a city park. He looked like he was a recruiter. He had well made signs propped up against the SUV that read “No Peace No Justice” “Black Lives Matter” and other such slogans. The set up looked very out of place, for this rural county. There are occasionally young people with expensive SUV’s but those vehicles are usually coated in mud from being ridden hard in the off road fashion so common here.
I found the scenario extremely frightening. It is also true that the convicts who have been released from prison in order to avoid being stricken with COVID were not encouraged to go to relatives or their real home, but have been set up in hotels where money, booze and drugs have kept them happily in place.
In place for what, one may wonder.

Thank you. Why more people are not realizing this, I don’t know. Over the past 40 years, it has been openly stated from time to time that our news media’s Talking Heads are willing to go along with CIA/NSA plans for the country or else are actual CIA/NSA agents themselves.
People have different personal boundaries against transgressing societal norms and the surrounding group can shape the norms. In a crowd, someone with poor impulse control (or carrying out a plan) is seen by others to transgress; because we are social primates, that lowers the barriers against transgression for members of the crowd. Monkey see, monkey do isn’t too far off.
What we’re seeing is that people who think that they have no sin (or, Antifa comes to mind, are acting to expiate it and expunge it in others) are throwing the first stone. Others then pick up rocks and crowd becomes a mob.
However SARS-CoV-2 came to be, the CCP’s actions since it got out (note the neutral language) of the lab were deliberate: Restrict internal travel, vacuum up PPE around the world and ship it back to China, and object to any restriction on travel to the West from China.
Yes, China’s economy took a hit. But if they can cripple the US economy just as it was beginning to disentangle from China’s and cripple China’s rivals in the West as a whole, China can mitigate the losses and regain some of the effective monopolies it had and was beginning to lose to other countries.
One of the sites that makes me nervous but which I read pretty regularly is Vox Day’s. He linked to this today, under the headline Taking a Page From the Shining Path. Or maybe from the cartels.
This is evil, but unfortunately not stupid.
Yep its what I would do. Also stake out police stations and follow cops home. What concerns me is the reports I have read about them taking over the local underworld in many places in order to receive funding.
No doubt this is one of many helpful tactical responses to the enemy’s tactics. But at this point America is facing a well-funded, well-organized enemy with a well-planned strategy, who has chosen the field and the time of this attack, and we were caught sleeping, with no leadership. We are like America after Pearl Harbor, Germany when the Brownshirts attacked, Poland and France when the blitzkrieg breached the borders, or the Union when the Confederacy attacked. We need a military leader the equal of Grant or Churchill to organize a counter-attack against the revolutionary political and terrorist forces of domestic communism.
Good thing we have Trump. He is up to the job.
I may be wrong but I don’t see how this can be a good thing in the long run:
Just the photo:
Skyler, with respect, I’m not convinced.
He’s up to many jobs, but so far he hasn’t demonstrated that he’s up to this one. The people who are leading the riots aren’t vying for a job on a Trump reality TV show, or engaging in a 2:00 AM tweet-pissing contest, or trying to get him to deliver on a promised in-person appearance at the Trump University class they paid their life savings for.
They are fanatical, dedicated, trained revolutionists, men without mercy. They don’t regard Trump as a poofy-haired celebrity that they want to suck up to. They are saboteurs and killers.
When I referred to Grant and Churchill, I was thinking of a very different sort of person than Donald Trump has shown himself to be till now.
I think this is an excellent fit. The actions of Lincoln’s predecessor in undercutting the union are on par with those of Trump’s predecessor.
I am hoping that Trump grows into the job, as others who showed no prior promise as leaders have when history called for one, like Grant and Lincoln.
Trump may not be the man, but he tends to find people who are those men.
I can see him giving another call to Mattis, or even offering a pardon to Patreaus to take care of this situation.
The army can put down the riots, thats easy enough, its the goal of destroying Antifa that will be tougher
But we already seeing armed citizens patrolling the beat.
Watch this below for more details.
We need finesse. A heavy hand will play into the plans of the communists seeking more support. We need to find the leaders and arrest them during the day so they can incite riots at night. My gut tells me that this is the plan because it’s the only one that can work. If Trump is doing it, then you won’t notice it.
This is what I’m thinking, too. This is a talent that he HAS demonstrated already. I don’t seriously think Trump himself is going to become the courageous combat vet and military genius we need, at this point in his life.
Honestly, it’s not like it’s hard. At his level of command it’s just a matter of common sense and leadership. For any president, his purpose is to be a uniting leader and set the policy and direction. No President, except Madison, has ever attempted to lead troops in the field.
Not gonna lie, I’m ignorant of that history. How’d it work out for Madison?
Makes it obvious that parts of our government are actively supporting these riots.
