Flashback to the 2011 "Occupy Wall Street" protests. And, let us ask ourselves exactly what these protest accomplished besides a lot of overtime for the sanitation crews. From ABC News, November 3, 2011:
Sexual Assaults Reported in 'Occupy' Camps
Alleged sexual assaults at Occupy Wall Street camps have raised concerns about security in a handful of cities, including reports of rape and groping in tents at New York's Zuccotti Park and a sex offender in Dallas having sex with an underage runaway.
I find it very ironic that the Anti Fascist movement (Antifa) is operating straight out of the Fascist playbook. Here is just one excerpt from THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM by BENITO MUSSOLINI (1932)
FASCIST STATE AS A SPIRITUAL FORCE
The Fascist State, as a higher and more powerful expression of personality, is a force, but a spiritual one. It sums up all the manifestations of the moral and intellectual life of man. Its functions cannot therefore be limited to those of enforcing order and keeping the peace, as the liberal doctrine had it. It is no mere mechanical device for defining the sphere within which the individual may duly exercise his supposed rights. The Fascist State is an inwardly accepted standard and rule of conduct, a discipline of the whole person; it permeates the will no less than the intellect. It stands for a principle which becomes the central motive of man as a member of civilized society, sinking deep down into his personality; it dwells in the heart of the man of action and of the thinker, of the artist and of the man of science: soul of the soul.
Fascism, in short, is not only a law-giver and a founder of institutions, but an educator and a promoter of spiritual life. It aims at refashioning not only the forms of life but their content - man, his character, and his faith. To achieve this propose it enforces discipline and uses authority, entering into the soul and ruling with undisputed sway. Therefore it has chosen as its emblem the Lictor’s rods, the symbol of unity, strength, and justice.
Funny that the widdle snowflakes at Antifa want to smash the state but they are so dependent on food stamps and welfare to survive all the while using their $500 iPhones and $800 laptops and wearing their $300 Patagonia parkas. They are just sucking up at the big government teat all the while acting out their puerile fantasies. Talk about a fertile breeding ground for cognitive dissonance.
If you want to dig deeper into this cess-pit, Wilhelm Reich has an excellent book in public domain. Reich went a bit overboard with his "orgone" work but at heart, he had an excellent understanding of the human condition. Check out this breif excerpt from The Mass Psychology Of Fascism
In the ethical and social ideals of liberalism we recognize the representation of the superficial layer of the character, of self-control and tolerance. The ethics of this liberalism serve to keep down "the beast" in man, the second layer, our "secondary impulses," the Freudian "unconscious." The natural sociality of the deepest, nuclear layer is alien to the liberal. He deplores the perversion of human character and fights it with ethical norms, but the social catastrophes of this century show the inadequacy of this approach.
All that which is genuinely revolutionary, all genuine art and science stems from the natural biological nucleus. Neither the genuine revolutionary nor the artist or scientist has been able thus far to win over and lead masses or, if so, to keep them in the realm of the life interests.
In contradistinction to liberalism, which represents the superficial character layer, and to genuine revolution, which represents the deepest layer, fascism represents essentially the second character layer, that of the secondary impulses.
A bit wordy but this is how Germans write. Despite the verbosity, Reich nails it. Much more at the site. Antifa is Fascism writ large.
