This is the modern communist narrative. It goes like this: The United States was founded in racism. Therefore its institutions are irredeemable. That makes a communist revolution both necessary and appropriate, through the ballot box if possible and through street violence and insurrectionary tactics if not.
Sadly too many conservatives seem not to understand this, or perhaps they do not want to admit it.
We have arrived at this unfortunate error in logic:
When communists attack from North Korea or the Soviet Union: “Lock and load! Target the enemy! Wolverines!”
When communists attack from within by being elected or commissioned as U.S. Army officers: “Sadly, this is the democratic process in action. We need to work harder at getting our side to the polls. Maybe we need to try harder to recruit the black/hispanic/etc. vote. Focus group time!”
That assumes, of course, that victorious communists will still allow normal Americans to go to the polls the next time around. This is not entirely fair, I know, but too many conservatives seem to follow this line of thinking. They may not have this luxury for much longer.
