"Support me or I will try and destroy you".
The French Revolution, after all, tried and failed to establish a Republic serving “the people” and not a King, an aristocracy or an oligarchy of money. It fortunately did not have to deal with deep inherited racial divisions, but rather fought directly to overcome class, social and political problems. Of course there was soon a foreign reaction against it, and a Revolution against slavery in Haiti/Dominica led by the great French-speaking Toussaint L’Ouverture, which identified itself for awhile with the enlightenment ideals of the French and American Revolutions. Of course that Revolution was spurned by the new U.S. republic, which feared the example of any slave rebellion, even one singing “La Marseillaise.”
BLM has gone from demanding justice to demanding cash.

Did you not see I was responding to badger2, who is as hysterical as you, and who talked about BLM leading a “Revolution” if Biden is elected? He brought up the spectre of the French Revolution, and I just gave some much needed perspective on this interesting topic.The French Revolution, after all, tried and failed to establish a Republic serving “the people” and not a King, an aristocracy or an oligarchy of money.

Nice diatribe....but you forgot the TOPIC.
We're talking about BLM,....and you're going on about the French Revolution?
You moved the goalpost....then accused me of doing so. I guess you hoped I wouldn't notice.

Trump fanatics and Bannon types (Bannon once called himself the “Lenin” of a new rightwing Revolution) sometimes think they are bringing about another “American Revolution“ against an imagined liberal globalist communist “Deep State,” and I just clarified that this movement was counterrevolutionary and might end all remnants of Democratic-Republican institutional freedoms.
The Civil War actually completed the “bourgeois” revolution of 1776 by abolishing slavery and giving African-Americans formal equality under law, or as Lincoln put it gave the whole country “a new birth of freedom.” But we all know that Jim Crow reaction arose and with it a profound embittered white sense of grievance and myths about the “Lost Cause” and white supremacy that poisoned our national solidarity for another century.
My point here is that without developing real solidarity between black and white working people, the corporate elites, their politicians and crony capitalists (in both parties) will generally control crisis situations, and the likely result of any radical change will be counterrevolutionary loss of our remaining democratic rights with the rise of an authoritarian strongman.
What many liberal Democrats don’t understand is that such a Bonapartist figure can come from either side, and many liberals will also likely embrace a “law and order” strongman if anarchy and violence ever reaches a high enough level here. We are far from that now, but the rightwing nuts really think it is around the corner, and that is one reason why at this time they are so dangerous.
You are so full of shit that your breath stinks.It's right out of the mob handbook. I should know, my Father was ran a casino in Vegas for years.Sounds quite a lot like what Trump is doing with Goodyear.
"Support me or I will try and destroy you".
Sounds nothing like it at all, but you already knew that.
