The so-called \u201ccounterculture of the 1960s\u201d bred a number of radical organizations that over time morphed, infiltrated and\/or became aligned with the Democrat Party. The Cuban Revolution and subsequent Communist insurgencies and revolts throughout Latin America made heroes of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara to radical leftists in the United States, both of whom are glorified by the American Left to this very day. Che beanies and shirts are still the rage on college campuses and are worn by kids who have no clue about his bloody past. A whole host of trendy revolutionary-style groups sprang up in the US in the \u201860s that were focused on the civil rights movement, \u201crevolutionary change,\u201d and, later, anti-Vietnam War protests. You may remember some of the names:<\/span><\/p>\n A decent survey of the New Left, including its various radical organizations, goals and their evolution,\u00a0can be found here<\/a>. We need to pay attention to what these people wish to achieve in America, as they are diligently at work behind the scenes attempting to destroy the country as it was founded and implement their version of a \u201csocialist paradise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965, the signing into law of LBJ\u2019s Great Society social welfare programs (Medicare, Medicaid and the \u201cWar on Poverty\u201d), and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 took the wind out of the sails of many of the radical organizations. However, one in particular survived and in fact swept up a number of the members of the older organizations over time. Remember the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN)? It was formed in the 1970s as, for all practical purposes, a Communist front organization for the purpose of \u201corganizing the urban poor.\u201d ACORN promoted an agenda of anti-capitalism, central planning, victimology, and government handouts to the poor. This was the organization in which Obama got his start as the proverbial \u201ccommunity organizer\u201d in Chicago. ACORN was actually first started in Bill Clinton\u2019s Arkansas, of all places (the \u201cA\u201d in ACORN originally standing for Arkansas!).<\/span><\/p>\n Their goal through the years was \u201canti-capitalist redistributionism\u201d as a means of promoting a radical restructuring of America\u2019s capitalist economy. ACORN departed from the violent acts of \u201860s-era radicals by exploiting the political tactic of \u201cburrowing from within\u201d a given city\u2019s political system. They used \u201cin your face\u201d peaceful confrontations, protests, and controlled riots to gain political power in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit. This was in keeping with a key long-term goal of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), as espoused by Cleon Skousen in \u201cThe Naked Communist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Goal #15 of the CPUSA, which was\u00a0read into the Congressional Record in 1963<\/a>, stated: \u201cCapture one or both of the political parties in the United States.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Some of the other listed CPUSA goals that have been not-so-coincidentally pursued by radical Democrat Party activists over the past several decades include:<\/span><\/p>\n We have all been sleeping while the radical Left \u2013 the militant arm of the Democrat Party \u2013 has achieved most of these objectives over the past 50 years! All of this nonsense has been normalized to our collective detriment.<\/span><\/p>\n Returning to Goal #15 and ACORN, rather than violent confrontation, which turned off Nixon\u2019s \u201cSilent Majority\u201d (and indeed most normal patriotic Americans in the \u201860s & \u201870s), ACORN sought to achieve its left-wing political objectives (ultimately the destruction of the US as founded) from within the system. By 2003, ACORN became the nation\u2019s largest radical left-wing group in the country, with over 120,000 dues paying members and local chapters in 50 cities. And they were politically aligned with the local Democrat Party organizations and indeed controlled some local elections. Throughout the period 1975-2010, ACORN was supported and funded by Soros\u2019s TIDES foundation and other left-wing donors who had the same political objectives as the CPUSA \u2013 to essentially re-make America along \u201cdemocratic socialist\u201d lines. An excellent analysis of ACORN through 2003\u00a0can be found here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Not satisfied with the pace of political reform, ACORN chapters got involved with \u201cvoter registration drives\u201d and indeed ran athwart voter registration laws in 2000-2006. This and other irregularities associated with alleged misuse of federal funds (they were ostensibly a \u201cnon-profit organization\u201d after all!) led to the organization\u2019s dissolution in 2010 \u2013 but not before one of its own made it to the Oval Office in 2009! And they achieved their greatest political victory on the national level with the passage of Obamacare. Indeed,\u00a0Obama\u2019s former ACORN allies benefitted directly<\/a>\u00a0from its passage by being paid as \u201cnavigators\u201d to facilitate mass enrollment in the debacle \u2013 on the taxpayers\u2019 dime, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n But ACORN didn\u2019t just disappear. The organization, its membership, and its funders\/backers were leveraged directly by, and morphed into, the next generation of the Left\u2019s protest movement: the \u201cMillion Man March,\u201d Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa. Obama\u2019s radical roots with ACORN should have been a warning of what was to come \u2013 and to some who shouted about it during the 2008 election campaign, it was no secret. But we all know how the legacy media obfuscated\u00a0Obama\u2019s radical ties<\/a>\u00a0and covered for him for 8 long years.<\/span><\/p>\n Obama maintained his radical ties during his presidency. He met with radicals in the White House or elsewhere and issued public proclamations of \u201csupport and sympathy,\u201d as well as was seen in public with some of them:<\/span><\/p>\n And now we have Antifa operating as the fascist arm of the Democrat Party. Yes, that\u2019s exactly what Antifa is. Its political objectives align perfectly with the goals of the left wing of the Democrat Party \u2013 and with Obama in particular. Antifa is the current manifestation of the authoritarian Left in America, seeking to suppress any dissenting political speech on college campuses and in the streets and using the tried-and-true ACORN tactics of personal confrontation to put pressure on political opponents. Antifa is the violent arm of the Democrat Party funded by leftwing billionaires like Tom Steyer and George Soros directly or through various non-profit foundations.\u00a0Refer to this video<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The ostensibly non-violent \u201ccommunity organizing\u201d arm of the DNC during the Obama regime was \u201cOrganizing for America\u201d which is suspiciously similar to ACORN in membership and motivation. It has now morphed into \u201cOrganizing for Action\u201d after Obama left office. Is there overlap between\u00a0members of OFA<\/a>\u00a0and Antifa? Certainly their objectives overlap.<\/span><\/p>\n Antifa, BLM, and OFA are the current manifestations of leftwing (Democrat) activism. Obama captured the DNC and continues to push \u201ccommunity organizing\u201d on a wider scale across the land behind the scenes. Obama moved the Democrat Party to the left during his presidency and virtually devastated it in state and local elections. That movement continues with the full-on rush toward \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d espoused by the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democrat presidential wannabes have all embraced various socialist policies during the recent debates. Get used to hearing more of their blarney, as well as more violent protests in the streets between now and November 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n The latest\u00a0incidence of Antifa violence occurred just this past week in Portland, Oregon<\/a>, as they attacked a journalist. How many Democrat presidential pretenders have condemned this action? And how many legacy media people have asked them directly for an opinion on the subject? Ain\u2019t gonna happen because Antifa serves Democrat political objectives. Oh, by the way,\u00a0there is a new petition up on the White House website to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s about damn time \u2013 and should be signed by all real Americans!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is what Obama has wrought for the Democrat Party, and there is no sign whatsoever that they will turn off this path in their attempts to wrest political power from the Trump Administration and conservatives in general. The Democrat activists need to be confronted especially when they violate public safety and public access laws at the local level. They are the modern-day version of Hitler\u2019s Brown Shirts and must not be allowed to get away with their violent acts. The Democrat Party, pushed by their leftwing activist core, is moving to the far left, folks, and we must stop them cold in next November if we wish to preserve the Republic!
