Well! It appears that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Che, Pol Pot, and such like miscreants are still at work, even though long dead.
What we've got here is a new "Revolutionary Movement" in the U.S. - not really new new, but the same old shit retreaded with current events in an effort to gain traction.
I present to you the latest incarnation of Evil: The Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement
Reading through their literature, we see that they are the same old tired, worn-out communism trying to tie itself to current events in an effort to make itself relevant to the modern age. Alongside the time-honored catch phrases of communism (i.e. "the state and capitalism, the perpetrators of oppression", "comrades", "collectives", "hegemony", "solidarity" etc.) they are seeking to tie-in more current phrases ("white supremacist", "LGBTQ", "social cohesion", etc.) in an effort to re-cast themselves into a different light.
However, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and shoots at you/beats hell out of you like a duck, it's probably still the same old duck.
According to what I'm reading, they are taking a core of communist cadre and communist philosophy (complete with communist catch-phrases to support that philosophy) and attempting to expand the "movement" by co-opting other pockets of dissatisfaction which are not necessarily communist. In other words, cadre are going in and acting as force-multipliers by taking unrelated malcontents under their wings and focusing the ire in communist directions... the same as they've always done in brush-fire conflicts around the world.
Currently, according to the literature, they are consolidating ANTIFA elements (not really a stretch from communism to begin with), BLM, the LGBTQ community, and other more moderate left-wing elements together and focusing them in a more communistic direction. They have gone so far as to attempt to incorporate Libertarians into their umbrella movement - laughable, considering that Libertarians are about as far right as one can get, polar opposite to collectivist communists with their fierce Individualist philosophy.
The upshot of this new incarnation of communism is the revival of "underground railroads", harking back to the actual Abolitionist movement of the Civil War era, but with a new twist. No longer is the objective to free slaves in the south, but to hide from justice ANY malcontents and criminals - people facing incarceration for crimes committed and illegal aliens foremost among the current crop. They cast these groups as "oppressed" and "victims of the modern plantation", in need of being taken into the modern "underground railroad" system.
Fair enough - if folks come around doing crime in MY yard, against ME, I'm going to "oppress" the living shit out of them, with extreme prejudice if at all possible - "underground railroad" or not. Their problem is going to be living long enough to get INTO the "underground railroad" system.
With these poor "rescued" souls, they seem to intend to build their army - out of illegal aliens, fugitives from justice, and the like. Seems like a plan, considering that these elements are, generally speaking, not strangers to violence.
Still, it's the same old communism, with an attempt at a new twist to gather converts from the younger generation, I've spent a lifetime fighting those bastards, and I'm too old to change my ways and join their club now.
Bring it on, boys and girls. I'm old, but may still have a pop or two left in me. Come get some, and we'll find out.

ETA: Here is their Bottom Line, the same Bottom Line that communism has always had:
Translation: "We mean to take YOUR shit, the fruit of YOUR labor, and give it to someone else".

ETA: Here is their Bottom Line, the same Bottom Line that communism has always had:
Quote:To carve out an autonomous territory, or to begin the revolutionary process, goods, land, and tools must be expropriated, or taken away from those who withhold them. We are striving towards a situation where necessities cannot be taken away from those who need them, but instead are shared with those who lack them.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
