The ‘Squad' aims to guillotine the Democratic old guard
2019-07-17
[NYPost] The Democratic Party bears little resemblance to the themes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton embraced in the 2008 primaries.

...The socialist party has absorbed what is left of the old Democrats. At first, the progressive old guard in Congress, like good Girondists, found the revolutionary carnivores useful in reducing the ranks of the Trumpians, the Tea Party, Reagan Democrats, old Perot voters and the white working class to the inanimate status of "deplorables," "irredeemables," "clingers" and "dregs" ‐ and with them, the bigoted, racist, sexist, nativist, classist, homophobic and xenophobic GOP.

Certainly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and a few geriatric sympathizers such as Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin enjoyed the progressive feasting on the ancien régime ‐ especially the unity offered by shared hatred of the obviously soon-to-be-impeached, deposed, exiled and discredited President Trump.

#2  It's actually as prescribed by 'Principles of Communism' by Engels.

"(Long term aims)... a constitution, dominance of the proletariat, and 12 specific points which include gradual abolition of private property, a centrally planned economy, and universal education.

"... three relevant types of socialists. Reactionary and bourgeois socialists are antagonistic to these communist aims, and must be fought. Democratic socialists may sometimes usefully align with communists. "


The old guard is always sacrificed for 'the party' to tighten power, it is the basis of their revolution machine. The first socialists serve the machine in hopes of reward and aggrandizement. The second on down the carrot transforms into the stick. The last phase is Stalinesque control. These four are tools compared to what comes next, if any, God forbid.
