I am an advocate for violence.

I am also a communist.

I am not a compliant Russian apparatchik who gives lip service to a regime. I am a Marxist. Karl Marx would have looked around and shaken his head. He would have said: I told you so.

The real regime is the one you have. You never own it. It would hurt the party line of the institutional fundamentalists, the people who work one way or another for institutions, especially government, education, religion, and the media, that capitalism can be saved.

Nothing is going to save you from Donald Trump. Trump’s allegiance to the stock market is sheer lip service. In fact, his allegiances are created for one man. Only he can save us from ourselves.

Liberals bemoan a lot of things. The United States Postal Service tops the list. Liberals feel that the system can be saved. I fail to see how they can see anything less. It’s been a long time since the last Revolutionary War To End All Wars Until The Next One. We sneer at communism, but we have lost touch with our history.

You do not remember it. You are only now confronting your complicity in iron chains and slaves. You bought the ticket mainly in the Seventeenth Century. You have had a long and profitable ride. The price of the ticket will extract its due.

You tweet that your current regime is immoral when what it really is remains criminal. There is a difference. You never were a democracy. You can’t even bring yourselves to a place where one man is a one-man vote. Your connections to royal institutions are steadfast. In the winter of 1609, your ancestors ate one another. You are descended from cannibals.

In 1622, Thomas Hobbes wrote that America was a state of nature in its state of war, and that every man was against every other man. The Mayflower Compact was a sea of troubles. The Magna Carta did not set men free from their sovereign. But it did play a role in the history of truth.

A truth you have prostituted down the river of your very souls. Can a law be a law if no one has written it down. Your rights to trial by jury is being thrown into that river called The Nature of Knowledge. Trump cites divine right. It cannot be questioned by the realm of facts. It’s not science that will crown him King. It’s the lack of it. Facts have been abandoned. America’s intellectual and educated elite has not met the challenge. It’s not the protestors in Portland that are pulling us back to the riotous fantasies of the past. That would be the status quo Trump hides behind. You are prisoners of war.

The chains will wrap around your very white feet. How is it that history itself teaches us that you cannot go from We Can Change the System to the Dictator Will Kill Us If We Do Not Do What He Says — in less that eighty days. It cannot happen. It takes a lot more than eighty days for any middle class to see beyond the everyday struggle to simply survive. One of the first projects the colonists embarked upon was the genocide of Native Americans. You cannot even teach the extent of that in your very own now closed schools. You moved from cannibalism to genocide in less than one generation. Your rulers were appointed by the king.

Join or die was a slogan that in no way was invented in Seattle. Join or die was coined by Benjamin Franklin who had never been to Seattle. Tear gas came out of the First World War. The amount of tear gas typically released by your powers that be, burdens your Black and Latino communities disproportionately because tear gas is actually a solid that does not easily dilute. It is not unlike lead in the water your children drink.

America breeds rainy day protestors who make noises in the streets as leaf blowers push the tear gas back at the cops. Then, on Monday, it’s back to work if you it. The operant term is have it. Whether traditional liberals want to see it or not, what is going to happen by the end of the year will be blood in the streets. After he declares that only he can save us, the lines will be drawn.

People will preach against violence. But violence has always played a part. The guillotine appeared in many forms. Today, the institution that was once a sea of blood is called the Paris Ritz. The poor still do not stay there.

Most Americans in 1775 bet that Britain would win the war. You never set slavery aside. You just postponed it. You established precedent, but precedent to what. How is it that Capitalism is still fighting over men owning other men. You are loathe to change.

He’s coming for you with his guns. Who do you think has the guns. We all know that it’s not the urban elites. Rural America is an armed camp.

By November 15, many people will begin to get it. He will not leave the White House. Period. By Christmas, both sides will relive the Russian Revolution.

Karl Marx knew it was coming because it has been coming and going throughout human history. Marx was not an economist as much as he was a historian. What we live in is a nest of lies told by men just like me who signify nothing. Who has the more defended nest. The eagles or the little finches. The former is visible. The latter is a guess.

Choose. There will only be two sides. The workers and the French. Franklin died in enormous pain.

I have now participated in three recent riots. I am here to tell you that it’s coming. Minneapolis was nothing. Arial Fireworks aimed at cops will become the status quo, and I support that. Trump will have the military. We will go underground. We are already there. Robespierre was an organizer of the insurrectionary Paris Commune long before Marx was born. Robespierre became a cult. He became in charge of Parisian public safety and arrested hundreds of people. Off with their heads. Robespierre wanted an ideal republic but he was indifferent to the cost just like Trump is indifferent to how the American constitution works. Unlike Maximilien de Robespierre, Trump has no ideology. What he has is a basement where he can hide.

But what Trump has in his tarot cards is a reign of terror. Social revolutionaries are born of  hunger and disease. The Czar and his children were nothing. They couldn’t last. There would have been no Robespierre if there had been bread. In 1841, Karl Marx scandalized the easily affronted upper-middle class by getting drunk as a skunk, laughing during church, and galloping through the streets on a donkey.
