What we see happening in Minneapolis is an old and effective tactic from the communist playbook with a few updates. It was used by Martin Luther King in the 1960s and by left-wing labor unions in the 1920s and 1930s. The tactic is called direct action. And it goes like this:
1, Get people into the streets with a grievance real or imagined. To cause maximum disruption, ensure that demonstrators don’t have a permit.
2, Police or counter protesters clash causing deaths and/or injuries.
3, A sympathetic media, reports that either the police, local and federal, or counterdemonstrators are responsible. for the deaths, injuries and property damage.
4, A demand is made to support the cause of the demonstrators. In the case of Minneapolis, get ICE agents out and let dangerous illegal alien criminals remain in the United States.
5, Pass federal legislation to address the situation. In this case, abolish ICE.
The books The Whole of Their Lives and And Not A Shot is Fired are two important resources to help people understand what is happening in Minneapolis. The Whole of Their Lives was written in 1948 by Bengamin Gitlow, a former communist who became disillusioned by communist tactics. He recounts a rent strike where communists were on the street protesting, while communists on the roof, unknown to the street demonstrators, were throwing debris down at the communists below. The goal was to create martyrs. The title of the book was what the communists expected from their members.
And Not a Shot is Fired by Jan Kosak, a Czechoslovakian communist, explains how a free nation is taken over via subversion without the need of a violent revolution. It was an internal strategy paper for the Czechoslovak Communist Party and reprinted in English by the United States House Committee on Un-American Activities. Over the years, numerous conservative organizations reprinted the book. Camp Constitution reprinted it in the Spring of 2020 with a foreword by our friend John Perna. Back in 2020, during the height of the Black Lives Matter, Antifa riots, copies of the small booklet were selling for over $200.
