Yup, classic socialist terror, Bolshevik and Brownshirt...stir up trouble for the purpose of terrorizing the populace and exploit it for political advantage...specifically targeting your opposition so you can move them aside...then once in power oppress your enemies...specifically ending their power and influence and cowing their civilian base into the new paradigm...and abuse your authority and the populace further by freeing your agitators and punishing your dissidents to the new paradigm...then enact more and more despotism using the same tactics. This is how tyranny operates, this is how liberty is crushed and perverted into a treasured morsel to dole out to faithful stooges living parasitically on the oppression of their neighbors. This always leads to a full police state, confiscation of privately owned firearms and precious metals, economic slavery, a defenseless populace to beat into submission and the emergence of summary executions, legalized theft, work camps, gulags and mass genocide. And it NEVER ends well. And the lessons are clear, opposing early and forcefully will always be better than trying to respond later. We have reached our generations live free or die trying moment.
