Whirlwind: It Will Be Worse for Democrats If They Win
Roger L. Simon

In their bloodlust—because that’s what it is—to defeat Donald Trump, the Democrats are taking a potential “Journey into the Whirlwind,” as Evgenia Ginzberg wrote in her narrative of that name of Stalin’s “Great Terror.”
Ginzberg, a loyal Communist Party member for decades, was falsely accused of being a “counter-revolutionary Trotskyist” and shuttled between labor camps and prison for years, two of which she spent in solitary confinement. Her long-suppressed account, finally published in 1967, of the depredations of the Gulag is now a classic.
It can’t happen here, you say. Maybe not. But the avowedly Marxist Black Lives Matter and Antifa already have vastly more adherents across our country than the Bolsheviks ever did at the outset.
And the Bolsheviks didn’t have the support and apparent sympathy of nearly every big city mayor and Blue State governor who reject the help of the federal government in squelching the increasingly violent actions of these groups and their fellow travelers.
The mainstream media, whose hatred for Trump outweighs any feelings about Stalin or Mao, has also been largely complicit in the whitewash of these activities, deliberately ignoring the truth by making false claims demonstrations are basically non-violent and downplaying all acts of extremism as accidental one-offs.
But what we have been watching for the last months is a flip-flop between a re-upped version of the Paris Commune, which ultimately failed, and the more successful Russian and Chinese revolutions in their nascent forms.
All this in the run-up to what is arguably the most consequential election in our history since the Civil War between a president who remains a loud-mouthed outsider and the quintessential political hack.
