Street Violence as a Political Tool

The new Democrat Party of oligarchs and technocrats enforces its orthodoxies upon blue state clients through broken windows and beatings, administered by party militias like #antifa and #BLM

The Democrat Party has had a problem. It’s a small, incoherent, and privileged clique funded by billionaire oligarchs to push policies that even mainstream Democrat voters oppose.

How to bridge the gap?

The solution they chose, which party officials made clear this week, was simple: the way third-world elites always do—by using street violence to keep their clients in line.

This week, pro-Palestinian demonstrators auditioned for the chance to join already established Democrat Party militias antifa and Black Lives Matter by attacking Jews in New York and Los Angeles.

Apologists for the violence reason that the demonstrators are angry about the deaths of innocent Palestinian babies under Israeli fire in Gaza so they’re taking their frustrations—admittedly misplaced!—out on American Jews.

That is not what’s happening.

Who knows how many of the activists waving the Palestinian flag as they beat Jews and detonate fireworks in front of Jewish-owned businesses are genuinely Palestinian Americans?

Maybe some aren’t even Arab or Muslim, but that’s irrelevant—they are staking their claim to recruit, promote, and represent Arabs and Muslims as an interest group.

And so the flag they’re really flying isn’t for the Palestinians but rather for the Democrat Party.

This is all “intersectionality” really is — a branding mechanism to unite the various sects the Democrat Party has gathered under a big and potentially bloody tent.

The current-day Democrat Party is a top-down structure paid for by the corporate establishment, led by Big Tech and finance, that appeals to a small class of managers, technocrats, and educators...

For a variety of reasons, from self-pity to psychopathy, most really do back the party’s most sinister policies—like open borders, designed to impoverish America’s working middle class.

The party has lots of money and owns virtually all of the country’s major institutions, from the press to the Department of Justice. What it lacks, however, is voters. So they packed together interest groups and turned them into clients.

The trick is making them all fit.

From the outside, for instance, it makes no sense that activists from the LGBT wing show up in support of the pro-Palestinian terror wing.

But what might seem to you like hypocrisy actually illustrates the basic premise, which is that these seemingly disparate groups actually do share a goal: upholding the Democrat Party.

Since the late spring, many have noted that these blue militias have typically avoided laying waste to red regions.

Presumably, blue militias know that if they campaigned in rural or even suburban America they would be met by a well-armed citizenry.

Still, why burn down their own neighborhoods?

Again, here the Middle East is the key to understanding.

The answer is because that’s their job—to remind their neighbors and fellow Biden voters that their security, indeed even their lives, depend on them keeping the faith...

Obviously many of the programs the Democrat Party is pushing are not popular with the people who belong to the interest groups they’re trying to motivate.

You hardly need polling to show that most African Americans living in urban areas don’t support defunding police.

What we’re seeing is the streets’ version of “cancel culture.” If you’re in book publishing or academia or Big Tech and you buck the party’s consensus, even by accident, they’ll take away your job.

It’s bad, and maybe even a little Stalinist.

But it’s getting off relatively easy in comparison to what’s happening in the streets of our cities, where gangs are employed to target Americans on behalf of a political party whose policies appear to be designed to destroy America.
