The Ghost of Marighella

There have been a couple of instances where ANTIFA and BLM protesters have found themselves in a position where they were fixing to get their asses handed to them. What did they do? They called the police to save them. You know, the same police that they do battle with on a nightly basis. Critics laugh at the rank hypocrisy of the left wing. They would be wrong to laugh. Calling the cops is entirely consistent with their aims and goals.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Once upon a time there was a Marxist intellectual who wrote a how to book. It was titled “The Mini Manual of the Urban Guerrilla” It was written by Carlos Marighella (before) in 1969. Marighella was a Brazilian politician and terrorist. He was wanted for a number of bank robberies and kidnappings. Brazilian police set up an ambush and killed him in 1969 (after). His work lives on.

Anybody who wants to understand the left needs to read Marighella’s blueprint. It is dated in some respects. Technology has rendered some aspects obsolete. However, the concept still holds true. Here is a link to The Mini Manual of the Urban Guerrilla. I can’t make you read it.

One of the concepts he wrote about was that guerrilla actions may not directly achieve desired goals. But the illegality practiced by protesters can demonstrate the ineffectiveness of government. A heavy handed law enforcement response could make bystanders sympathetic to the protesters cause. (I would point out that the press can and does characterize any police response as either inept or excessive). Heads they win, tails they win again. The goal is to create a “victim class” who are alienated from government and society.

I have commented in previous postings that pedophiles and sex offenders are prominent in the protest ranks. There is a bill in the California legislature to legalize child sexual abuse. The immediate effect of the proposal is that it gives sex offenders a sense of legitimacy.

Keith Ellison the Attorney General of Minnesota has likely overcharged the four Minneapolis police officers. Ellison, a dedicated racist and Marxist type has created a win-win for himself and his cause. In the eyes of the rabid left he under charged the officers. There is a fair chance he cannot prevail at trial and the officers will either be acquitted or convicted of lesser charges. Any way it plays out, the left wins.

You can be sure that whatever the police response is in regards to protecting ANTIFA/BLM it wasn’t good enough.
