Progressives Are Well Organized, Patriotic Americans Have to Do It Even Better

Have you ever wondered how the progressive movement's foot soldiers—the ANTIFA, BLM, and other leftist activists they are allied with—are able to show up at a location in order to raise hell, seemingly within an hour of some event happening? If the Supreme Court renders a decision on a controversial subject that progressives disagree with, in no time at all hundreds of protesters gather outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., and the conservative justices also end up having dozens of people protesting in front of their homes, frightening their families and disrupting the neighborhoods where they live.

The short answer to the question is that progressives and their allies are fully committed, and well organized. They are ready, willing, and able to drop everything they’re doing and respond when the phone chain erupts into a call to action. They can quickly leave Mom and Dad’s basement wearing their hoodie, adding a face mask or keffiyeh to wear that they keep tucked inside a pocket until they reach the designated location.  Along with professionally printed signs to carry that they keep filed alphabetically and by category, and stored in a closet in their basement apartment.

While normal Americans claim to be committed to saving America, most are gainfully employed and simply can’t, or are unwilling to drop everything to go running off somewhere to attend a protest. We take our responsibility to our families, and to our employers seriously.  We are the glue that holds this country together and keeps the factories producing products, and the necessary services being performed.  That’s where the progressives have the advantage.  They don’t care about anything except the issues they’ve been brainwashed into supporting.

Since 2015, the last year of the Obama administration, I have regularly warned people that “no communist regime has ever willingly just given up power”. I follow that with the reminder that “the Bolshevik Revolution was NOT a popular uprising. It was a small minority of Marxists who seized control and forced communist oppression onto the Russian people for decades.”  Americans must understand that what is underway in America has been nothing short of an effort to “fundamentally transform” our nation that has been going on since 2009, though the roots of this effort go much further back in our history.

As with Soviet Russia, the same happened with post-World War II China, when the Maoist’s defeated the Army of the Republic of China led by Chiang Kai-shek, and subsequently murdered over 20 million Chinese citizens during the Cultural RevolutionUp to the present day, the Chinese people are held in virtual bondage, only as ‘free’ as their communist overlords will allow.

Once again it was ‘organization’ that allowed the Marxists to take control in both the Soviet Union and China, as well as in North Korea, Cuba, and a handful of other Marxist totalitarian dictatorships.  They were committed to their cause and well organized to carry out their plans.  Pure despotism where the will of the people has no meaning for the ruling elite who stay in power through brute force, and by doling out special privileges to the fortunate few who run the bureaucracies that help the rulers maintain power, and their stranglehold over the people.

Which brings us to the America of today. We are living in a very volatile period where our own ruling elite are fighting desperately to return to power. As more and more of their decades of corruption, waste, and abuse is being uncovered, the progressives are throwing up as many roadblocks as they can to try prevent their exposure. They have relied for decades on the well-entrenched government bureaucrats to help them maintain power over the American people. Just as the Soviets, Maoists, and all the other Marxist dictatorships have done for years.   And most certainly those government bureaucrats have a vested interest in supporting the progressives who they view as their allies who will keep them employed.

It is all achieved through ‘organization.’ The progressives have learned the lessons well from the totalitarian regimes throughout history. Maintain the status quo, and keep the bureaucracies running, regardless of whether they are running efficiently or not.   And the will of the people be damned.

Americans better wise up and commit themselves to do what is necessary to save our republic.  We need to start forming local groups of patriots who are ready, willing, and able to counter the efforts of the progressives and their allies.

That doesn’t mean that we need to start destroying property, rioting and burning things down.  But we need to become better organized, and even more committed.  We need to work on voter registration drives and getting people to the polls on Election Day.  And we also must educate citizens on the issues in order to counter the biased news media’s representation of things.

Citizens have to be encouraged to become more involved in both local and state politics.  Even running for local offices. All politics is local, and the progressives learned the importance of taking control at the grassroots level.  They ran for the town councils, the school boards, state representative and senate seats.   Even subdivision and condo associations, which is why you have rules against flying the Stars and Stripes in some locales.  They took control at the local levels.

President Trump won a great victory last November, but unless patriots expand upon that, the progress being made will come to a screeching halt if progressive Democrats retake the House in 2026.  They’re organized, and they’re working hard.

Patriotic Americans need to do it even better so that we don’t suffer the same fate as those other countries throughout history that woke up one day and found that they had become “fundamentally transformed” into a Marxist state.
