Who would have ever thought that 30 years after the Berlin Wall fell, not just Europe, but America would be awash in neo-marxist jerkoffs burning down police stations at will.

That's what the Communist street fighter battalions did in the Weimar Republic. It was partly fury over the government not doing anything about it that lead to right-wing Freikorps (korpsbruders) to take the fight back to them. Very successfully. (At the same time, the 1919-1920 Polish-Soviet war kept Soviet armies from breaking into Germany to help the German communists - although they did unfortunately overrun Ukraine which lead to Stalin's genocide via famine).

And no, the Freikorps weren't Nazis. They were demobilized veterans of the Great War. By the time the Nazis entered the national stage in 1933, most of those men were in their mid-40s to 50s.

Correct! It's all being replayed here in the country now...

Maybe. What I think is going on is much more like China’s cultural revolution with our equivalent of Mao’s Red Guard. A generation of Americans pushing for communist revolution and persecution and destruction of all tradition, culture, or any opposition to absolute authoritarian collectivism. Reading about or watching clips of the Red Guard in action, is exactly what the youth in this nation looks and acts like.

I agree. Marx kicked it off and it was perfected in China. It's here now and it's horrifying to see. But here we are.

You would have guessed had you realized that tearing down a wall didn't mean that the Communists who wanted to destroy us gave up and went home. They knew that if they infiltrated our education system things would go their way and that's exactly what happened. To be fair, at the time, I did not think this.

There were people who've been warning us about this for 20+ years, but we consigned them to the looney fringe and mocked them. But they were right all along.

Can you recommend a good source (book) on this part of history?

Impossible in modern-day. Conservatives are terrified that if they use force under any circumstance, they'll get called "Nazi" by some purple-haired dildo-jockey, which is a fate worse than death apparently.

Although politicians, generals and corporate sponsors haven't caught onto it yet, I have noticed that since Trump came to office, that more conservatives are starting to grow a pair.

It's hard to watch Trump get attacked left and right, betrayed and spat on, and for him to keep fighting and keep staying positive...And not be encouraged to shrug off self-serving criticism as well.

A lot of people are realizing this. Especially those who fancied themselves 'main street' conservatives.
