Progressives (liberals, leftists, socialists, communists) all disdain the West's achievement of institutionalizing respect for basic rights, limited government and the rule of law. That achievement is now under determined attack by Progressives (i.e., Western elites) but they have no concept of the ghastly consequences of abandoning that achievement:
A former senior propagandist, Jang Jin-Sun, defected to South Korea and told the documentary’s producers, “In North Korea they promote the leader to be the sun. If you go too close you burn, if you go too far you freeze to death.”[1]
Demanded his rights and
voted "NO" on the execution deal. |
Progressives
always assume they will end up at that perfect orbit around the leader or oligarchs of the massively statist regimes they struggle so hard to create in their own countries. They think they will be warm and comfy once their freedom-loving, traditionalist enemies have been vanquished.
Blacks similarly think that a leftist victory will mean their emancipation from the hated white man but never stop to consider what radical leftist white men will do to them when they no longer have any need for their votes.

Its amazing that the commies have always counted on blacks to be in the vanguard of any Marxist revolution in America. Why do you assume that whites would run the country after such a revolution?
Blacks were in the hands of the communists in the 1930s in St. Louis, according to an old socialist I knew who was there.
Demographics. Plus, it's unlikely, shall we say, that the Congressional Black Caucus would end up in control of the Congress under any circumstances. The New Black Panthers are violent enough but they do not possess the sophistication to do anything other than make threats and stand around twirling a night stick.
Jews were heavily represented in the Bolshevik ranks at the outset but their numbers dwindled. Stalin had it in for them at the time he died. Minorities are, to state the obvious, outnumbered and easily dismissed.
