Most people who support BLM, as the article says, aren't Marxists. The leaders and violent rioters are the Communists. However, this doesn't mean they aren't a threat.

Before the Bolsheviks seized power, most Russians weren't Communist. Only after charismatic leaders like Lenin told them what they wanted to hear, along with foreign intervention from Germany, did they gain enough power to take over the country. Even then, a large swath of the population weren't Communist. The white army had enough support to carry on for years, while breakaway states such as Ukraine, Crimea, and Poland resisted Soviet rule. Unfortunately they lost, and decades of dictatorship followed.

That can happen in America as well. If we aren't vigilant and allow Communism to advance, the leaders of these "protests" can easily seize power. Saying "America will never be Communist" only helps them, as you're giving people a sense of false security. The reality is: we aren't safe. We are surrounded by violent revolutionaries who would abolish our Democratic-Republic in the blink of an eye if they could. Just look at CHAZ/CHOP where far-left terrorists attempted to take over Seattle.

I don't support Capitalism, but Socialism is a dangerous plague that can easily snowball into a Communist takeover and the end of America as we know it. Stay vigilant! #AntiCommunistAction
