Thoughts on Why the RNC Protests were So Much Smaller than the DNC Protests

RNC Protest in Milwaukee

Here is the mainstream media commentary that I critique (starting at 9:20) on why the August DNC protests were so much bigger than the July RNC protests: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/why-protesters-outside-the-dnc-have-far-outnumbered-those-at-the-republicans-convention/ar-AA1p94by?

(NBC News, “Why protesters outside the DNC have far outnumbered those at the Republicans’ convention,” August 21, 2024)

My opening critique of woke cancel culture as aligned with “might makes right” is based on the work of Bob Avakian. See Avakian, Breakthroughs, pp. 27-33 and passim.

Bob K I have not blocked you!!!

Revcoms went to Milwaukee and so did Code Pink. Good for them!

Oreo is a running dog of communism. She has no belief in the private ownership of the means of production …well, in her case, of any kind of private property at all. It's kinda messed up that this wonderful dog knows as much about Avakian's work as many left intellectuals I hear from. No treats until you start reading, comrades!
