One more thing to note - if the police in various areas are not arresting antifa - or doing anything about them - chances are they are acting as part of the State, they are acting with plausible deniability, but they create terror in the population, and that's how authoritarian states get in power and stay in power. They are the modern day equivalent of the SA, the Stürmabteilung, the stormtroopers of the Nazi regime. They are organized and trained, and their activities are under central control, much like the police who are under central control as well. So there's that to think about - as well as the role of Wall Street in helping the Nazis to get in power and stay in power, which continued through World War II. More Anthony Sutton, here: https://ia801707.us.archive.org/20/items/sutton-wall-street-and-hitler/Sutton_Wall_Street_and_Hitler.pdf

From Sutton's Preface: "This is the third and final volume of a trilogy describing the role of the American corporate socialists, otherwise known as the Wall Street financial elite or the Eastern Liberal Establishment, in three significant twentieth-century historical events: the 1917 LeninTrotsky Revolution in Russia, the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States, and the 1933 seizure of power by Adolf Hitler in Germany.

Each of these events introduced some variant of socialism into a major country — i.e.,

Bolshevik socialism in Russia, New Deal socialism in the United States, and National

socialism in Germany.

Contemporary academic histories, with perhaps the sole exception of Carroll Quigley's

Tragedy And Hope, ignore this evidence. On the other hand, it is understandable that

universities and research organizations, dependent on financial aid from foundations that are

controlled by this same New York financial elite, would hardly want to support and to

publish research on these aspects of international politics. The bravest of trustees is unlikely

to bite the hand that feeds his organization.

It is also eminently clear from the evidence in this trilogy that "public-spirited businessmen"

do not journey to Washington as lobbyists and administrators in order to serve the United

States. They are in Washington to serve their own profit-maximizing interests. Their

purpose is not to further a competitive, free-market economy, but to manipulate a

politicized regime, call it what you will, to their own advantage."

Pretty good, I've written a couple of things - first about the "antifa" (https://streamfortyseven.substack.com/p/some-thoughts-about-a-potential-civil) and then about the "Palestinians" (https://streamfortyseven.substack.com/p/its-time-for-israel-for-once-and) - I put "Palestinians" in quotes because they are the descendants of Wahhabist Arabs brought in by Amir al-Husayni starting in 1916. They're not indigenous, they're settlers, the same as the European Jews who came in at about the same time, both encouraged by the British, first to destroy the Ottoman Empire in the case of the Arabs, secondly as part of a financial deal with Lord Rothschild after World War I to bail out the UK which was bankrupt - in the case of the Jews. The indigenous Arabs were (and still are) the non-Wahhabist Bedouins who, incidentally, fought on the side of the Israelis in the 1948 War for Independence, some of whom serve in the IDF today (and some were killed by Hamas on October 7) and who are Israeli citizens; and the indigenous Jews are the Mizrahis. Lots of complicated history here which gets glossed over and simplified, to serve political goals.

As for Communists being "anti-capitalist", in the case of the Leninist Bolsheviks, that's not the case, they've been state-capitalist from the outset, see https://ia802303.us.archive.org/31/items/WallStreetAndTheBolshevikRevolutionByAntonyC.Sutton/Wall%20Street%20and%20the%20Bolshevik%20Revolution%20by%20Antony%20C.%20Sutton.pdf and Wall Street built the industry the Soviets (and now the Russians) have, and drilled and maintained their oil wells... And in the US we have our own version of state capitalism, where government and corporations are inextricably intertwined.
