Except that it doesn't




Amazon sold a Maoist-related T-shirt with the text "November 4: It Begins", and I decided to school both the Alt Right and the Ctrl Left on certain things...

It seems some people want to profit off everything. This weekend, Refuse Fascism protested against the “Trump-Pence regime” in NYC and other venues. Since Refuse Fascism is considered part of the Antifa milieu, many right-wingers almost lost their minds over the event, claiming it could lead to a civil war or what not. While the protests were larger than I expected, no credible threat of a revolution exists, since Refuse Fascism is a front organization for “Chairman” Bob Avakian's small and cultic outfit, the Revolutionary Communist Party. Last time they staged a riot was, I think, 1980 or thereabouts. So no, I wasn't particularly worried. And no, it doesn't “begin” this time around either. Trump is more likely to be overthrown by…well, Pence.
