While nothing you’ve said is wrong, there’s a few things you’re not accounting for.
Pretty much every socialist regime starts with the youth as the ground troops. The college kids. Yes, some of their psyches will break, more than they already are. They may not be the ones who carry out the true mass killings, but they will be the ones going through neighborhoods shooting anyone who has been labeled as “against the cause”. It always starts with the shit we see from antifa, then the bands of shit-stirrers shift from causing chaos, to shooting.
Their compliance with their objectives will be enforced. The roving bands of soy-drinkers will have leaders amongst them (loosely defining “leader” here). Leaders who will shoot those that don’t follow orders. These weaklings are disposable. They are always treated as such. The mass killings come after the weaklings have been used as cannon fodder and weakened resistance. They kill the dissidents they can, and route the rest, forcing them into and near the cities when they can. Then come the hardened types. They take the masses that were herded into smaller areas and fill the mass graves. Often enough, those mass graves get filled with those weakling cannon fodder along with the dissidents.
Ideologically possessed people, even the weaklings, can and will do tremendous damage. Every time it has happened, before shit started going down, everyone thought “it can’t happen here” and “those people could never manage that” and came up with a well-reasoned list of factors setting the situation apart from past examples. Then it happened anyway.
It can happen here. If something drastic doesn’t change our current trajectory, it WILL happen here. It will, in some ways, be different than how things went down elsewhere. It always is. But there is nothing will prevent it from happening as things stand. We non-socialists might put up a substantially better fight than history’s examples. Or maybe, before things even look like they’re going to go hot, we’ll allow the government to disarm us through legislation. We’ve rolled over every other time so far, and we don’t have the same fighting spirit this nation was once known for.
We are in the middle of a pattern that has repeated itself countless times through history, and right now, we’re doing nothing to break that cycle. Beware those suffering soy-psychosis, stay away from major cities, and one way or another, never be left fully disarmed.
In the meantime, we non-socialists need to figure out a way to organize properly, and covertly. And we need a leader to rally around. That’s the only way we can avert disaster, and we’ll be labeled as the worst kinds of criminals for the effort. Dark times lie ahead, no matter what.
EDIT: and just to clarify, for our lurking friends at the fbi, no, I’m not saying we need to organize for the sake of violence. That’s the democrat M.O.
I think there are many signs that what has happened in the past is about to happen again. Bit I think its like marx said, history repeats itself first as tragedy then as farce. I think this potential progressive revolution is a farce. The more realistic view of the situation, imo, is that the neoliberal establishment wants the anti-establishment left and right fighting each other, each viewing the other as either "nazis" or blood thristy communists. Meanwhile, in reality they are each only a tiny minority. We worry and lash out at each other while they plunder the country.
