Before anyone says this is America let's think about it seriously.
So far I think its because economic collapse caused the germans to follow Hitler. And starvation caused people to follow Mao. Their government was effectively useless.
People think it happened because Hitler and Mao forced them at gun point. But I find that hard to believe. I think that it's both institutional and economic failure that caused these tyrants to rise.
Antifa riots. Loots, and kills but people feel the best solution is not to capitulate. It's to vote them out. Hence why the GOP has a shot in Oregon according recent data.
If that is the case then a communist revolution cant be forced on the american people unless our institutions are collapsed. Or our economy in a deep depression. The covid recession does not fit the bill. Also there is not leadership in Antifa that people can identify like Mao and Hitler.
Our institutions are under direct assault. We have no faith it many parts of the federal government. Small businesses are under direct assault by the lockdowns, a space dominated by anti-communists. Free speech is regulated by communists inside of big tech/ic, we could potentially lose the 2nd amendment if we lose congress and the presidency. I would say it is very possible for communists to seize power if complacency sets in.
I understand this my point is they have not yet failed hence why antifa is failing. Were not talking about the future I'm at lasting talk about the present. Why had it failed so far? But this is still a valid point.
