The really sad thing is that these people are tools of the Oligarchy under the guise of political revolution and they have no idea.
Not once do we ever hear them say what they want to implement after their corporate sponsored revolution succeeds. Will it be Communism? Will it be Leninism or Stalinism or Maoism or something else? Who will lead? Why are all of these corporations and Foundations giving them money?
They don't understand that they are being set up to die by people who hate them.

"Communism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism"
I always assumed they were all essentially the same? Am I wrong?

Same trunk, different branches.

All entirely different. Yes, at their core they are still Marxist (or claim to be), but the implementation is entirely different.
Leninism meandered around because none of them knew what they were doing once they won the Revolution. Essentially a "We won! Oh hey, running a giant nation is way harder than we thought."
Stalin was the iron hand who killed everyone who was inconvenient, then established a unique form of Nationalist Bolshevism.
Mao did all of those things, but added an ethno-genocidal twist... and then killed everyone else who was inconvenient. Many times over.
Matthew Raphael Johnson has a podcast where he goes deep into the weeds of the history of Marxism. Just do a search for a particular topic and chances are good that he did a show on it with more information than you ever wanted to know. He is definitely /ourguy/, so it isn't some sort of commie propaganda.

All essentially have absolute government control over their people.

The people funding them have no intention of helping a communist revolution. They use the retarded footsoldiers who end up just being anarchists for neoliberal oligarchs.

It's likely just for the next phase of the technocracy, but a lot of people on both sides will end up dead.

Don't be so quick to assume that of all these traitors. I can't see why he would call his desired revolution "Versailles" shit unless he had an understanding of the actual purpose of the Versailles Treaty in formulating WWJew. He clearly doesn't think the revolution will be peaceful, so he does not view the Versailles Treaty as a matter of peace. He is certainly wicked, but not a normie. Don't underestimate the enemy.
[–] LexOrandiLexCredendi ago
I'm sure he doesn't think it'll be peaceful, but he also probably doesn't think his oligarch masters will have him lined up and shot like in every other Commie revolution.

They are and expect rewards by brands, banks, and celebrites. They risk nothing and they know it. Activists have every faith in the backing of their oligarchy, or they wouldn't fight for it.
