Reality Check: The Preparedness of the Leftists – A Conversation Among AP Staff

Over the course of a week or so, the AP staff was having a running conversation via email about the preparedness levels of the Leftists and Communists. Even though the Right likes to portray these individuals as as weak Soy Boys who don’t know their own gender, there is a very serious and very determined Leftist guerilla and militia movement that seems to be flying under the radar of most patriots either because they grossly underestimate them or they just don’t know. Below is a portion of the conversation among the AP staff. I encourage you to ponder the points raised in the article.

I’m sure you may have seen these but I thought I’d send this anyway….https://socialistra.org

It’s scary to think most everyone thinks the Left is anti gun, and don’t know their own sex. I think the armed Right is going to be  standing flat footed. I’ve seen the Facebook militia groups and many don’t impress me one bit.

The big thing to keep in mind with these guys is a very specific cultural difference, and by that I mean not in the political sense.  They value and actively recruit those with combat experience, and in my own observations, do exactly what they’re advised. The III% crowd, by and large, doesn’t. They’re too busy reaffirming their own normalcy bias and bogged down in pointless arguments while trying (and failing) to adapt leftist ideas to their own.

People seem to not realize the Left is very serious about the course of Revolution. For them, the revolutions of each nation state were not solitary moments in time but rather pieces of a larger whole, one which continues today in this nation. To them, the current State is nothing more than a bourgeois social construct which favors oligarchy and thus the continued exploitation of the lower classes. Its very much a real fight and one they intend upon winning. They skewer far younger and this is significant not simply from a military model, but a sociological one as well recognizing that most of these people have vast amounts of student debt and little hope for a future. That hopelessness breeds insurrection.

On the Right, we not only fail to understand them but still cannot create a competent answer to the same questions. And until we do so, we will continue to flounder. Since the III% crowd is too busy lamenting why everyone won’t buy a $1200 AR and spend every weekend doing pointless reflexive fire drills, they’re going to continue to be pigeon holed into irrelevance.

One thing I would counter is that the retards get the most coverage, always. Guys like us don’t get coverage because I don’t talk about why I have poison ivy or bug bites from the woods or sore muscles at work. I put a tie on with my normie mask. While trying to avoid projecting, there a fair number of guys I think that do the same. Our major shortfall is a) lack of competent leadership/organization and b) lack of a political arm to provide top cover for more radical elements. The left has both, and while they have some rich guys our advantage is a great many of us aren’t poor. Their cash comes from a handful of very deep wells that can be poisoned. It’s harder when you have 100k guys who all are middle class and can sustain at least yourself and provide your own war chest.

It’s not much but there’s ways imho we can play to our strengths and exploit their weaknesses. By and large most of these people have little social credit, and no real input into the day to day financial engine of the country. In my AO there’s an active communist group but while they are putting their degrees to work for free they aren’t doing anything professionally. Their contacts are peer to peer but they don’t have any networking vertically in the community really. A large number of the left also rely on their collective hatred for whites to cobble together alliances that are shaky at best. Things aren’t good, but there’s always weaknesses to exploit. On the bright side if we all get boxcar-ed the first world all these kids want to live in for free goes with us. They are hungry, smart and motivated, but their ideology and methodology cripples them in many areas and can be used against them.

I agree with you. Those are good points. I make it a point not to present myself as a gun guy or tactical guy. I stay middle of the road and watch what the sheeple are wearing. As a former cop, I can spot likely people who are CCW. Mostly by their clothing or how they  adjust their clothing. I try not to dress that way. I especially do not photograph my weapons or myself in military clothing. I want to be as “underground” as possible.  I would like to “observe and report” rather than a “direct action mission” with full battle rattle. That being said, I’m focusing on my radio gear to be highly portable.

One more point re: leftists. Take into account their hubris. They have much of it. This thing *will* go hot and soon. For them it has to and their rhetoric, particularly yesterday’s display, was a not-so-subtle dog whistle to motivate their violent base. Some have drawn parallels to the Tea Party and while sociologically that can be argued, the critical difference is their willingness to act. Their mass base is also <30, with a mountain of student debt they place blame upon banks for incurring (which we know is their own damn fault, but that’s irrelevant to the question). Tea party folks were only reactionary and had too much social capital to do anything meaningful.

It will not be long before we see a campaign of bombings. There’s a book by one of the anarchist writers, forgot which one, called “Politics of the Bomb”, and that’s an accurate label. The armed guys parading in gear are literally the same as the so-called constitutional militias. A display. The bombings on the other hand, those are force multipliers and when done right, instantly satisfying CARVER.

It ain’t going just yet, but it ain’t far off.

I found a series podcast called It Could Happen Here which is their take on CW II coming. Most the podcasts on their side are gibberish and they focus on “political prisoners” which is a common phrase among them. There is the Socialist Rifle Association website that has intel such as their manuals on firearms use and chemical attacks. They also sell patches for plate carriers too.  Those are recognized among their crowd but not noticeable among outsiders. A common piece of clothing is the bandanna. Red is very common. I’ve also seen a lot of brown & black ones. The entire group will wear the same color which is a giveaway to them being there as a common group. I’ve seen a few instances where they work by being “leaderless” and don’t take instructions from one person. More like cells.

Whatever the government permits it promotes.  It has been promoting Antifa for the last 3 years at least.  You wrote, “To them, the current State is nothing more than a bourgeois social construct which favors oligarchy and thus the continued exploitation of the lower classes. Its very much a real fight and one they intend upon winning.” They’re correct about the oligarchy which the American people have allowed to grow over the decades by their passivity.  If they start a revolution as they say they want to, it will be in Portland, Seattle, and other urban hives of this activity.  Will the Feds deal with this? I have no idea.  They are permitting/promoting it while they prosecute right wing groups.  Maybe the Feds see them as some sort of tool in their larger plan?  If so, the Feds are mistaken.  It seems to me that if these Antifa groups start their revolution, they’re not going to answer to anyone in Washington if successful.  I could be wrong about this. Look at Ayers and Obama and the other ’70s Marxist revolutionaries: they’re enjoying their tenures and sinecures.

Their behavior indicates a father hunger.  No one ever looked out for these people growing up.  They’ve consequently made a lot of bad life decisions and think a revolution will atone for them all while solving all their problems like their student loan debt.  I think some of their grievances should be dealt with.  Student loans should be forgiven.  We used to have usury laws to protect the poor from the rich.  The tax codes need to be revised to make earned income great again.  We need to onshore entry-level jobs.  Even if we did all those things, Marxists have historically been adverse to work.  Indeed, their arrogance makes them unemployable.  They seem to oscillate between a lot of talk and revolution.  We’re in a Weimar republic stage judging by our debt and sexual ethics.  This will obviously end badly.

 

NC Scout

“If they start a revolution as they say they want to, it will be in Portland, Seattle, and other urban hives of this activity.”

They already won there. Its what Che Guevara called “warfare on favorable ground”. What they’re actually preparing for is “warfare on unfavorable ground”, which are moving into rural areas. And while everyone is lulled into believing ‘THEY CAN’T DO THAT HERE!!!! WE GONNA LOCK N LOAD!!!’, think about it like this- under who’s orders do you ‘lock n load’? When will you know? And how will you know? Rural areas would easily be overrun and their complacency among law enforcement not prepared to deal with a maoist insurgency is proof positive.

And Redneck Revolt, JBGC, etc, are nearly exclusively self-admitted Maoists. I suggest you start profiling the denizens of ‘local’ organic markets. Those are your insurgents. I’ve been doing so for some time.

Me thinks the media will twist anything to benefit the Left groups. Fake News is an earned nickname. I have noticed that the armed Left are not only becoming familiar with firearms, they are gathering clothes for the poor, feeding them, and other community services. Winning the hearts and minds of the community. While doing so, they quietly recruiting.

    I noticed a lot of left side actors training at Tarin Tactical and dojo’s.
    The 3%ers yeah I’m still trying to figure out the title without action. Shoulda been a patch that says “gonna”.
    More time is spent making IG and FB posts than fixing faults. I was even told I set up a stage at a match wrong by a group of 3%ers because they did terrible at it. Lmao nah guys you lost at this fair n square so fix it. Life and fights ain’t built around your comfort zones.
    I’ve said my peace on comfort and I hate to constantly repeat it but they are winning because they aren’t worried bout comfort. I can’t get 6 guys together for training in AC once a quarter but they are willing to eat gas every weekend to prove a point.
    I’m law enforcement and no there isn’t a plan to deal with it for the most part. A lot of it depends on where you work not so much as the level of fed, state or local. Your danged if you do or don’t like many other subjects. Nothing is clear anymore even with, or in some cases especially with, the current administration.

    • Patriotman July 27, 2019 at 15:50

      Your observations echo mine, Matt. Horribly photoshopped recruitment posters with the members in tacticool gear and terrible edited memes and facebook posts. They like to yap about ballistics this and this gun is better at 1,000 yards but have never shot anything other than bench rest. And PT? LOL “that’s a waste of time ’cause I will hit them before they see me”. Right…..

      As my man CT Fletcher said, “get comfortable with being UNcomfortable”.

      I hope Tarin is slowly redpilling those liberal and leftist actors who do train there. We can use all the help we can get.

    Re: the Left recruiting combat vets. I know of two former Marines (Afghanistan) that have been sucked into the Leftist/ANTIFA mindset while attending college post Marine Corps. These guys both have “trigger time” and have drank the koolaide.

    • Patriotman July 27, 2019 at 17:02

      A lot of people on the right don’t realize that this is occurring. Thanks for stopping by with the anecdotal evidence.

    I set up and help run our local 3Gun matches, for 8yrs now. I hear this crap every. single. month. Most is in jest but some truly not. You know how this works. You made me laugh.

  5. Matt in Oklahoma July 27, 2019 at 17:13

    James lol I normally know how well I did by the number of complaints I received from the “silk shirt sponsored crowd”.
    I expect it from gamers. From those claiming to be training for a fight however….
    Yeah we do know how it works lol ?

  6. MKJNS7086 July 27, 2019 at 19:58

    I live near an ANTIFA stronghold in the Northwest.. Some things I’ve noticed:
    All their tactics rely on mob tactics, superior numbers, and anonymity. Without these, they either refuse to engage or are hopelessly outclassed.
    They stay in their AO almost exclusively. While they make a lot of noise about going into rural areas it just doesn’t happen.
    Similar to jihadists, they can’t conceal their ideology; the hate is always on full display. Any infiltration of rural areas is going to be compromised by this.
    Outside of the urban metro areas, ANTIFA is universally despised. Any kind of revolutionary action is going to be very hard to maintain without local community support.
    I still would not underestimate them. Their use of mob tactics makes it easier for less committed members to act and they show good discipline when they act. They also are becoming more sophisticated about training and gear.
    Hope this helps.

    • Patriotman July 27, 2019 at 19:59

      This is very helpful MKJNS7086! I stickied your comment as I think the information you give warrants that. Thank you for sharing this information brother!

    @ Patriotman:
    A cursory browsing of Sun Tzu will prevent one from underestimating their enemies. People like Spenser Rapone are going to be a problem. https://www.apnews.com/57a1fd1e2df84cfdb2fc51375815444f
    Take a quick read through that and notice that he was a fan of Stan Goff, former Infantry/Ranger/SF guy turned Marxist Communist. It would be nice to think that all veterans would stay on the “right” side, but it just isn’t so. While it is enjoyable to watch the YouTube videos of antifa soy-boyz trying and failing to knock over a small sign post, it is worth noting that “some” of those on the far-left side are bona-fide “been there/done that” guys. Forewarned is forearmed.

    @ NC Scout:
    I picked up a Swamp Fox in ATACS IX from Sean at 0241 Tactical. Very nice patrol rig, especially with the extra admin and med pouch. I was glad to bag one without the 4 month leadtime! The fastek buckles are going to get a touch of Duracoat to kill the gloss and get them closer to something in the IX color mix.

    • NC Scout July 28, 2019 at 08:41

      Goff. He also did a stint in CAG if I remember right. If you go back and look carefully at the “Inside the Left” post I did, they’re explaining CARVER in the slide show.

      That’s awesome on the rig! I hit mine with krylon, but then again I’m a knuckledragger.

    Welcome aboard to American Partisan Patriotman. I sent an Intelligence Brief to a group of friends very recently on this very topic. Specifically it was about Wilem von Spronsen and his relationship with the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club and also some of the tradecraft that this particular communist militia was doing when they provided ‘security’ for homosexual marches.

    Here is what I wrote:
    “Some of you may recall the Dutch-born communist Willem van Spronsen (antifaw/john brown gun club member) who attacked the ICE detention facility in Tacoma Washington at 0400 Saturday 13 July 2019 .
    Here: https://heavy.com/news/2019/07/willem-van-spronsen-emma-durutti/
    Here: https://vdare.com/posts/faith-goldy-antifa-terrorism-the-coming-civil-war
    and Here: https://summit.news/2019/07/14/terrorist-who-firebombed-ice-facility-wrote-in-manifesto-i-am-antifa/
    Because of his ineptitude he was shot dead by four Tacoma cops before he could kill anyone. Spronsen did manage to set a car on fire with one of the road flares (available at K-Mart!) he was carrying. He was not able to set on fire any of the buses used to transport illegals to the Tacoma airport for deportation nor blow up the propane tank outside of the facility. One interesting thing that Spronsen did right was he managed to acquire an AR15 ‘ghost gun.’ A ‘ghost gun’ is a rifle you build yourself (or have someone build it for you) out of an 80% finished lower receiver and from parts that you can buy at gun shows or order on the Internet. Current U.S. law does not require ‘ghost guns’ to have serial numbers therefore there is no paper trail (if you used cash) of any of the parts purchased. No paper trail means no one else can be investigated by the feds if the ‘ghost gun’ is used in the commission of a crime. Neat huh?

    The following link is from an article from the Brit publication ‘The Guardian’ about the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club of which Spronsen had been a member. They are using concealed hand guns at these leftist gatherings to provide ‘security’ for the marchers. Pay attention also to the fact that they are using radios with ear pieces and the young female with the back pack and the flag on a whip in one of the photographs is probably the medic (my analysis of the size pack she is carrying). Notice how the ‘John Browns’ have identified themselves by wearing their club hoodies (most of them) and for this exercise they all have pink tape identifiers on their arms and/or on their back packs where they have their concealed sidearms. JBGC terrorists usually wear red bandanas around their necks and/or tied on their left arms as an armband.The individual standing next to the ‘medic’ has a smaller flag stuck in their backpack which may be indicative that they are the commander of the jbgc element.
    These are new bits and pieces of Intelligence information that I have gathered. Anyone who is able to glean anything else or has received any other OSINT please send this info to me soonest for a fuller analysis.

    Thank you.
    Chance Favors the Prepared Patriot

    Also: I see this puget sound john brown gun club as learning and adapting to their situation. These are people who have probably ‘graduated’ form regular antifaw street thugs using fists and the occasional club to this communist militia who is carrying firearms (provided by who exactly?). In some ways these people are ahead of say the Oath Keepers because the Oath Keepers haven’t graduated from the camo-tactical ‘look’.
    The puget sound jbgc has learned from someone that urban guerrillas wear regular street clothes, not camoflague bdu’s. They have also learned that commo is important to be able to coordinate their activities. And they have also learned that to provide security for a political rally/march concealed handguns will/can be effective. They seem to have a working command and control (C&C) structure and have learned and put into practice tactics, techniques & procedures (TT&P). If Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys are not careful at the next rally (or shortly after) there could be Patriot blood in the streets.
    Please keep an eye and an ear out for anything here in NC or the Southeast for that matter as one of the primary ways we’re going to beat this evil is via good, sound Intelligence.
    #TheRealResistance”

    NC Scout is right to collect HUMINT at ‘organic’ markets. These people have a presence on local social media also.

    It is vitally important that Patriots get good Intel on these traitors then plan, prepare and act on it. Set up an Analysis and Control Element (ACE) in your sector/area so you can begin to collect and analyze Intelligence information. Then disseminate that information to groups in your AO/AI. Patriot lives are at stake.

    Excellent thoughts in this article and in the comments. I try to keep a very low profile at work with my normie face and everything as well. There are a few pro-comm folks at work comfortable enough to run their mouths both in meatspace and on our corporate chat apps. It’s a nice source of intel.

    I have so many friends and family on the “right” that talk all day about how the left can’t win because of “muh guns.” I’ve had an insanely hard time getting these people to even consider regular PT, or shooting occasionally, let alone training with radios, keeping a low profile online, or storing extra food. I’ve reminded them of Antifa riots, and showed videos of various pro-communist marches where they’re armed, wearing body armor, and carrying radios and they seemed to get disturbed for a few hours before going back to reading QAnon conserva-porn or debating the most recent headline on Drudge Report.

    Finding trustworthy like-minded people motivated to train regularly has been a tough nut to crack.

      Oh I read you loud and clear on this! These are my experiences as well.

      Finding trustworthy like-minded people motivated to train regularly has been a tough nut to crack.

      Locally this is my #1 struggle. I don’t have a good answer yet aside from perhaps looking at cross fit gyms, martial arts (a la jiu jitsu) or local firearm training classes and getting a feel for some of the people there. Then, start slowly alluding to topics and see if they bite. OPSEC is #1 priority though. Sometimes it gets hard because you have no one to discuss this stuff with (at least for me it is). One of our contributors runs http://www.unchainedpreppers.com and it is a great resource for both information and for discussion. I am over there as well. Stop by and say hi! It doesn’t solve your local team problem, but it is a good place to talk with like-minded individuals. The other resource I lean on are the people I meet in my classes. We stay in touch and have robust discussions on these topics

      What is even worse though is, the people who held your opinion on prepping and what is coming our way are no longer preparing. With Trump living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, these past passionate prepping & preparedness folks, believe they are safe and sound and have moved away from preparing.

      Steady the course Brother and at least you will be ready.

    Matt,

    You can learn a lot from the fact that people flake and who flakes. Much does not depend on you. You can’t make people better.

    I agree 100%, i’m that guy too, just trying to keep my business going, support the yoga wife, be professional in my career and not be the prairie rat that pops its head up only to get whacked..

    See, we are working, paying taxes, believing and trying to do the right things, because that’s who we are for the most part. We don’t typically do sketchy or illegal shit because there are serious legal, financial, professional and reputational consequences for doing so.

    OPFOR generally speaking, does not adhere, at least the front line first soldiers, to the above, they consider getting popped a badge of honor, making their bones. They are used to operating outside the boundaries, are comfortable doing so day to day, whereas “we,” try to stay between the lines.

    This can and will, imho, create problems if/when things go kinetic, as one will have to become very comfortable, very quickly with being able and willing to break laws and operate in a semi/non permissive setting…

    I have zero interest in going off to some rally to square off against OPFOR in a public setting and suffer potentially serious side effects.

    Guys like us, watch from afar, learn the lessons and get back to work, planning and preparing as best as possible while being under the radar..

    We connect with like minded folks, educate ourselves and try to educate others too.

    It’s a balancing act for sure and we need to think long game…just my .0002…
