What is Ferguson?

[4est_4est_Gump]

Multiple far-left groups are using Ferguson as a pretext to rehearse widespread civil disobedience when the Welfare State taps the brakes.

The scaling down of the Welfare State in America is not a question of “if,” but “when.” The status quo is unsustainable.

...

In the meantime, leftist, community organizing groups -- meaning those that openly define their guiding ideology with socialist/communist language (quoting Marx & Lenin, while avoiding any mention of Stalin) -- have been using Ferguson to stretch their muscles, largely unused after the 2008 election of an ally in the White House. For them, the Ferguson protests have little to do with Michael Brown’s death, and more to do with anti-capitalist rants, punctuated by chants against police brutality against young, innocent, black men.

Their stage setting is Brown’s death -- the play is about anti-capitalism.

...

In contrast, capitalism -- an economic system in great distress in America -- is inescapably tied to Arithmetic.

Real math doesn’t lie. It requires unbiased calculation. Far-left community organizers don’t traffic in unbiased calculation.

...

Standing behind the signs are well-funded 501(c)(3) groups that receive millions of dollars every year through donations and foundation grants, and then allocate monies to promote social change.

It’s a one-two-three punch involving community organizers, supported by moneyed enablers, who marshal protesters to the street carrying signs with organizational ties most know nothing about.

All of it is well-organized, well-executed, and well-funded by intelligent, well-rehearsed, highly-motivated, ideologically-driven zealots for fundamental transformation in America, and, for some, the world.

...

The far-left social change enterprises are leaning into what they know will be a generational opportunity as the Welfare State begins to face significant downsizing. Instead of signs reading “Justice For Michael Brown,” they’ll read “Justice For America’s Poor.” “Poor Lives Matter” will replace “Black Lives Matter.” The marching chants of “This is what democracy looks like” will grow louder.

The Occupy Wall Street model will be replicated widely in the Big Blue Cities as stationary protests compliment mobile protests convened by social media -- the new bullhorn of community organizers.

Transportation interruptions, like the recent one in San Francisco; the disruption of retail sales at bricks-and-mortar outlets like those on Black Friday (we’ll see more on Christmas Eve); and the wilding that brings fire and destruction, will surface in the wake of any event that trigger a grievance response as the Welfare State declines.

Sooner or later, blood will be shed.

The community activists groups are leaning in this direction. Ferguson is, for them, a scrimmage in preparation for the Big Ugly.

We have seen enough rants here directed at Big Business, Evil Corporations, Insurance Companies, The Rich, etc., to get the impression that this is largely more an inclination of philosophy among many of us than it is a falling sky wolf cry of racism and fear from those afraid of losing their white privilege. [Did I miss any on the key mantra points?]

Are you ready to do battle over the size and scope of the welfare state?

Is this going to be the Left 'demonstrating' that there can be no compromise with the right (the forces of Capitalism and all that is evil in the modern world...)?
