What are some accounts of past communist takeovers (successful or otherwise) that can be used to compare what is happening in the US right now?

Todays lgbt communists are just useful idiots for cotporations. The og bolsheviks would have them shot on the spot for being bourgeoisie degenerates and strikebreakers

Agreed but they seem to be taking many of the same actions as past communists did i.e. destroying statues, championing "equality", etc.
Rules for Radicals is next on my list. Looking forward to whatever that will illuminate.

The US is an odd place and It’s highly doubtful the other faux revolutions and coups can be of much help beyond figuring out what not to do.
Herod goes down this list of methods we’ve tried and he and I are convinced it’s just massive organization that needs to be implemented.

Here’s an account of the Russian revolution you won’t get from Parenti or the like

The attempted Communist revolution in Germany in 1919. Was thwarted only because of the innate conservatism of the German lower-middle class + war veterans.

I've never met a communist who has read or even cares about that book but every fox news poisoned boomer insists that it's taught to uni students at gunpoint because they believe whatever the TV says.

I think iconoclasm aimed at the current rulers is typical for any revolutionary group, not exclusively communists.

This is not a communist revolution. Communists are often faggots but this is a bunch of wealthy liberals slumming while their colored pets riot like the third world savages they are. When things get serious the rich liberals fly to one of their parents' houses in a safer area and leave what's left of the working class, caught in between, to rot or finally accept its descent into subhumanity and join the rioters. Then the rich people's dads come back, buy all the burned down properties at knockdown prices, and develop them as tenements and strip malls.

Marx did not support the Paris Commune because it wasn't a real workers' revolution, it was just a hasty coalition that flared up and had nowhere to go. Read about the carnivalesque later phases of the French Revolution where people were setting up hookers in churches and worshipping them as "Lady Reason" and stuff. That's what this is closer to, at most.

But it won't last, it will be crushed by a military junta if it tips into true chaos (for "true chaos" read "it actually begins to affect rich people's property and they can't easily flee from it when it stops being fun for them anymore"), or it will lead to further wealth consolidation in the aforementioned manner. In the latter case it will also further America's descent into a Latin American neoliberal oligarchy where wealth and power are synonymous with corruption and the entire state is a vehicle for rich people to fuck their own countrymen while not really living in the country, appropriating the meager GDP so their children can drive imported Lamborghinis around.

Say what you want about Marx, nor am I a Marxist, but this niggerization of the working class is the opposite of what he wanted.
