These people are, indeed, "radical Marxists"--or at least, they& #39;ve read enough Marx to know the slogans by heart--and they& #39;re looting and pillaging through the US Capitol.

It& #39;s not the fact of this, but the *denial* that it is so--particularly when it& #39;s contemptuous--
that& #39;s contrived to get Trump re-elected.

The denial is so obviously a lie that it allows people to think, "They& #39;re all liars. So I& #39;ll choose the flavor of liar I like best."
It would be useful if American journalists ceased viewing these incidents as "spontaneous rallies for racial justice" and asked, "Who& #39;s organizing this? Who& #39;s encouraging it? Who& #39;s funding it?"
It& #39;s not too conspiratorial to note that there& #39;s one state power in particular with a great deal of institutional experience in cultivating violent Marxist groupuscules in the West and activating them at politically significant moments.
This isn& #39;t to say that there& #39;s no indigenous support for this movement. But it is to say that this movement is now behaving as if it seeks a second Trump term. Why?

American journalists might want to look at this more closely.

Don& #39;t wait until after the election to do it.
