At last, some in Controlled Media slam the Alt Left

  • Associated Press, Black-Clad Anarchists Swarm Anti-Hate Rally in Berkeley.

    Berkeley, Calif. (AP) — An anti-hate rally was disrupted when scores of anarchists wearing black clothing and masks stormed the demonstration in Berkeley and attacked several supporters of President Donald Trump…

    “Anarchist” is the wrong word for Antifa, AP; try “communist” (by philosophy) or “fascist” (by their actual behavior). But, baby steps.

  • The Washington Post, Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley.

    Their faces hidden behind black bandannas and hoodies, about 100 anarchists and antifa— “anti-fascist” — members barreled into a protest Sunday afternoon in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park…

    Shortly after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray-wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields. Another was attacked by five black-clad antifa members, each windmilling kicks and punches into a man desperately trying to protect himself. A conservative group leader retreated for safety behind a line of riot police as marchers chucked water bottles, shot off pepper spray and screamed, “Fascist go home!”

    All told, the Associated Press reported at least five individuals were attacked. An AP reporter witnessed the assaults…

Not to be suspicious, but all this has only been going on for the past 18 months, so… Why report it this time? Why now?

  2. “Anarchist” is the wrong word for Antifa, AP; try “communist” (by philosophy) or “fascist” (by their actual behavior). But, baby steps.

    The correct political term is Sturmabteilung.

  5. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the leaders tacitly supported the Red Guard until their excesses threatened their own power. Perhaps this is a similar development? The similarities of conduct between the university students then and now is quite telling. A personal story of this era, “Life and Death in Shanghai,” is both disturbing and instructive.

  6. “Anarchist” is the wrong word for Antifa, AP; […]

    Perhaps in general, but in the footage I saw, there was at least one Anarchist flag flying high and proud, so it was not an inaccurate description.

    Besides, I’m all for labeling them as anarchists. Once that label gets generally applied, it will be hard for people who don’t know what it means to be exposed to more research and see that it is intertwined with the violence at the World Trade Organization talks in Seattle in recent years and historically, with much violence in the US in the early 1900s-1920s. Having all these violent associations kind of blows the lid off of the ‘peaceful resistance’ BS.

  7. “Anarchists” calling for an Orwellian government that their infinite benevolence would force itself to put them at the very top of it, in order to run it — for the sake of, you guessed it, their ever-changing “Social Justice”.

    Right.

    And I have a gorgeous ocean front villa & private beach of the finest white sand for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, for the AP political science scholars — a truly mind-boggling bargain in 2017 real estate.

  9. @6 how can a communist be an anarchist? two mutually exclusive ideas.

    I didn’t mention anything about the Berkeley protestors being ‘communists’; quite frankly, I don’t care what they are called as long as they don’t miss their court date when issued a citation. My point was being labeled as ‘anarchists’ helps to better tie them to a historical legacy of violence, which we know whoever the protestors are, they advocate for and practice.

  10. The next logical step after anarchy is tyranny. Whether an anarchist is unaware of that or cynically biding his time doesn’t defy the logical progression of power.

  11. Checking out the following, basically gets the idea, … sigh:

    Antifa Organizers Announce Plans To Disrupt Neo-Nazi Rally Or Whatever Else Going On That Day
    BERKELEY, CA—Vowing to derail whichever event it is by any means necessary, local Antifa organizers announced plans Monday to disrupt an upcoming neo-Nazi rally or whatever else is going on that day. “We will stop at nothing to prevent these vile fucking neo-Nazi hatemongers from gathering, or, if not them, someone else,” said Sarah Jackson, 26, adding that the only way to end the spread of fascism is to physically confront Nazis, peaceful right-wing protesters, or just random people going about their daily lives. “We need to tell these Hitler-loving fucks or whoever else is standing there, ‘Get out of our city!’ Remember, we’re talking about white supremacist terrorists, people running errands on their lunch breaks, or a group of tourists, so if we have to throw a punch or two, then so fucking be it.” At press time, black-clad Antifa demonstrators screaming “Fascists, go home!” had swarmed a Scandinavian street festival.

  12. Anyone who has actually read History, not just cribbed it off a cereal box, knows that most revolutions end badly, both politically and for the revolutionaries. Since the Enlightenment there have been maybe a handful of successful revolutions; the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the American Revolution of 1776 and the Meiji Revolution of 1868. None of which were really revolutions, but more textbook counter-revolutions conducted by the leading elites to correct governmental “innovations” and poorly-considered reforms.

    Most revolutions end with the initial generation of revolutionaries lined-up against a wall, along a freshly-dug ditch, or at the foot of the scaffold. Bloody tribunals, retribution, wild deadly swings through reaction, or tyranny and dictatorship.

    Why anyone would want to start a revolution? Typically it’s a death-sentence. The winners are the ones who end them — or who are the last man standing.
