1) Thread time.
The ANTIFA commies did it! They took the first step every communist uprising does in their rise to create a utopia!
Taking over someone else’s buildings after the hard construction work is done.

2) @COsweda did a wonderful thread earlier comparing the Seattle Autonomous Zone, or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (lol chaz), to the Paris Commune that lasted 2 months and 10 days.
2) I would like to make one more comparison.
The Bavarian Soviet Republic.
Ever hear about it? No?
Well then you're in for a treat.
Rewind back to Germany, 1918.
World War 1 is over, the soldiers are unemployed, the economy is in utter fucking shambles, hyperinflation, etc.

4) Yes the last should have been 3, I'm sleepy, leave me alone.
Anyways, down in Bavaria, a province in Germany, some sociotard journalist named Kurt Eisner wakes up one day in November and says "Wow, central authority from the Weimar Republic is at an all time low. Party time!"

5) So they overthrew the Bavarian king.
Wait, king?
Oh yeah. See, Germany was a monarchy up through WW1, which had been formed out of the ashes of the Holy Roman Empire. So, there were a lot of holdover principalities from that period, such as the king in Bavaria.

6) So, the socialist nation of the People's State of Bavaria was established in November of 1918, declaring independence.
Wait, didn't I lead off with Bavarian Soviet Republic?
Yeah, I did. That wasn't even the start of it. See, that's how hard these commies fucked up.

7) Kurt Eisner was one of the leaders of the Independent Social Democrat Party of Germany, which was a fractious lot, Kurt Eisner himself having lost his job at a communist newspaper before the Bavarian revolt because he was too right wing, namely, he was right of Marx.
8) I shit you not, Kurt Eisner, the guy who actually kicked off the socialist uprising in Bavaria, was considered too right wing because he wanted to distance the Social Democrats ideals from the work of Karl Marx.
This is why I laugh when the nazis are called right wing.

9) So Kurt Eisner started his ideal socialist republic, becoming the 'minister-president' and proceeded to utterly fucking fail at running a government.
10) For one thing, no one in Kurt Eisner's new government of the People's State of Bavaria was actually Bavarian. This caused problems. It would be like a bunch of rich affluent assholes from Massachusetts governing Alabama. Yeah, Bavaria is the Alabama of Germany, I said it.
11) Then, it hilariously failed at providing even basic services. Law enforcement, firefighting, any actual functions of a government, Kurt Eisner's government failed to perform.
Then, 3 months later, in February of 1919, he was assassinated. By his own party.

12) Now, of course, if you look into it, they'll claim it was a far-right guy that did the assassination, acting alone, no support whatsoever. This is because the Bavarian socialist uprising is something of a 'what could have been' for commies.
13) However, the people of the time were pretty damn certain that he was assassinated by his own people, because after Kurt Eisner was assassinated the socialist Bavarian 'republic' split in half.
14) Ernst Toller, an anarchist attempted to take over, which lasted for a grand total of 3 days, until another group of communists took over, and formed the Bavarian Soviet Republic.
These communists attempted to burn all money, take all the food and weapons and arm the homeless

15) Then, a dude named Hoffman, who set up the rival People's State of Bavaria, led an attack a month later on the Bavarian Soviet Republic, taking 8000 against 30,000.
November 2018, to April 2019. Less than 6 months and the commies fell into civil war.

16) This is after an assassination, a coup, and a follow up coup a few days later.
So, the People's State of Bavaria, ie the other socialists, teamed up with the militaristic forerunners of the Nazis, and the communists then panicked and executed a bunch of hostages.

17) The antifa are doing their damndest to make another Bavarian Soviet Republic.
They're going to fail.
Because the only people worse at forming nations than communists are communist revolutionaries.
