    He's Ranger tabbed now, isn't he? I get the impression that he went into the military in order to get training to fight against it. I can't help but wonder if he's going to get a bunch of like-minded soldiers and officers, recruit a bunch of Antifa types, and actually start an armed insurgency.

    By all reports he did not tab. Supposedly he was a Lack of Motivation drop after a day 1 recycle after failing mountains.

    If he is Infantry as indicated that will not bode well for him.

    Assuming this story is about someone who was actually communist and not just an extreme leftist of another variety.
    I am sure that is totally out the window now. A naked communist came within a hair of winning the Democratic party nomination for president- half the country must think communism is a great idea.

    I suspect he was very different than he is now.

    That's why I feel that we are more in danger now than we ever were during the Cold War, of seeing, within our lifetimes, a flag with a red star raised over our nation. During the Cold War, there certainly were communist groups, and they were probably more violent than today, and they had the backing of a superpower. However, the mainstream view, by both the right and the left, was that the communists were as much the enemies of freedom and goodness as were the Nazis and the Japanese Imperialists. Today, however, communism is a widely accepted idea by the mainstream left, especially the younger generations. Those under 30 are too young to remember living under the constant threat of nuclear apocalypse, hearing stories of those who escaped from behind the Iron Curtain, starvation, family members being taken in the middle of the night, etc. Basically put, people have forgotten that communism doesn't work. We now have a generation that has two schools of thought on communism:

    1) It can work, it just got corrupted by brutal dictators who weren't "true" communists. When we implement it, we'll do it benevolently (naive idealists)
    2) It can work, and would have worked had the communist governments been able to completely exterminate the capitalists. When we implement it, we'll make sure to finish the job.

    The first school of thought will be the public face used by those who will utilize the second school of thought.

    One of the college's that I went to had signs for fallout shelters. I was probably on of the few who noticed.
    Next, there are a lot who when you bring up failures of past either go, "Well they aren't us." Or "They didn't go far enough." Or "Well this group should be given this because of reasons only I understand and shut up." Having been told to leave a classroom because I argued for 2A with logic and not against it with screaming emotion. I don't have much faith in my generation.

    quick dig on him he has a communist pro twitter account or IG forgot already

    also sounds like he is pro islamic ? something about a professor or something radicalized him ?

    no idea again quick dig and found he is still a anti US communist who wants to kill and destroy folks in this country and our country

    but I have heard he is one of many in the military these days that hates this country and is just using it for training inside info etc.

    Curious, if Rapone served in 1/75 he should have gone through Ranger School and RASP correct? So why would he be required to go to Ranger School again after getting his commission? Is the course significantly different between enlisted students and commissioned students?
