In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders.^[1][2] The term was originally used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation.^[1] The term has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin,^[3]but this attribution is unsubstantiated.^[4][5]

Six types of ‘useful idiot’
 JAMES BLOODWORTH


The phrase ‘useful idiot’ has long been in circulation to describe naive revolutionary tourists and other ignorant dupes of foreign dictatorships. The term is commonly attributed to Lenin, though there is little evidence he ever actually used it. Instead the expression seems to have originated in the mid-twentieth century to describe social democrats who entered into popular fronts and electoral pacts with Stalinist communist parties.

Why, though, do people become full blown ‘useful idiots’ in the first place? Western admirers of despotic governments are invariably useful to said governments, hence the name. But it is more than mere stupidity that explains why citizens of relatively open societies are willing to offer up glowing appraisals of brutal political systems. The following is a rough sketch of some of the forms that this ‘useful idiocy’ frequently takes.

Desperation In The Cry Of Revolutionaries Rioting For Socialism

Douglas V. Gibbs 

Racism is the final accusation of a desperate political ideology, and the tool that former Russian communists said the Marxists would use as a part of their ideological subversion in the United States to achieve their “revolution.”  Violence is the final desperate act of scoundrels bent on change, and realizing that the bourgeoisie is not quite as ready to leap into socialism as they thought.  And if they don’t get what they think they want, they are ready to burn it all down, because their Marxist puppeteers told them to.

A commenter on a recent article wrote that I am not even aware of my [white] privilege.  Does that apply to my Mexican wife?  My mixed grandchildren who are a mixture of white, Mexican, and Filipino or Puerto Rican (depending on which ones)?  Does that apply to my good friend Harry who is Puerto Rican and agrees with me on this stuff?  How about my video-making counterpart Alfonzo Rachel, who is black?

We are witnessing the desperate cry of a group of revolutionaries who don’t understand why there is a resistance to their cry for socialism.  Every tyranny has in common the need for a common enemy.  A perpetual enemy.  A battle cry for the revolution, and a unifying factor for the foot soldiers to fight against.

From the annals of true history regarding communism, fascism, and other dictatorial systems, to George Orwell’s 1984, the same is true.  Tyranny, to survive, needs two things.  A perpetual enemy, and a free market system to become a parasite on.  However, if America falls, the host is dead, and so will be the parasite.  There will be no producers remaining to suck off of.

The supporters of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and this latest round of radicalism that is reminiscent of the operations of the Black Panthers and Weather Underground from the late sixties and into 1970 is nothing new, and the connections to the old Weather Underground group are striking.  They are following the same playbook, and they are saying the same things.  Except, this time there is a President in office, Donald J. Trump, and a conservative electorate, who are aware of what these radicals are truly all about.  Therefore, it’s not working as well as the radicals thought it would.  So, they are becoming desperate.  Desperate pawns, desperate tools, desperate children throwing a temper tantrum in the hopes of overturning and overthrowing the American System.  They remind me of dogs chasing cars, not really knowing what they would do with it if ever they caught it, and they are definitely not intelligent enough to drive it if ever they got behind the wheel.

They are not smart enough to know that they don’t know.  This is outright stupidity.  They are nothing more than foot soldiers for a larger leftist power, that, if it ever gains control of this country, will execute each and every one of them as a thank you, in the name of them knowing too much.  

The communists did it.  The fascists did it.  And these radical rulers will do it if the treason against the United States succeeds.  So, little children calling for defunding and dismantling the police, like the person who commented on one of my articles, calling what I wrote “cute” and that their fight is against the “white power structure,” simply proves how ignorant the commenter is, and how much of a throw-away tool that person is.  Be warned, be careful for what you wish for, because it will likely cost you your life, not while fighting in what you think will be a glorious revolution, but by execution by the very power structure you think you are in support of.  And be aware, the power structure the protesters and rioters claim to hate, big corporate America, are the very ones helping them do what they are doing, because the power structure the rioters think they hate are largely the puppeteers pulling these ignorant people’s strings.

Like the radical agitators of other revolutions before them, the tearing down of statues have nothing to do with what they say it is (in this case, racism), it is all about deconstructing our history. The shutdown orders or fake news of inflated numbers of COVID19 cases have nothing to do with a virus, it is all about locking you up at home so that you are out of the way of the revolution, and become accustomed to your new limitations on freedom.
