As I’ve said here before, this isn’t about demands for more regulation. It’s an attempt to destroy the current system and replace it with a socialist one. Their published demands have revealed as much. And museums like the National Air & Space Museum are a testament to the success of the “old”, that is current, system. Can’t have that, can we?

The protesters are, of course, claiming victimhood. They insist those evil guards sprayed them with mace without warning, when in fact they shoved and (reportedly) pinned-down one of the guards while trying to storm the place. Such claims of victimhood are also part of the strategy, intended to garner sympathy support for their otherwise-unsupported cause.

I don’t expect this will be the last attempt to storm cultural, scientific, and economic landmarks. Marxists — which these people are, judging by their list of demands — have a long and awful history of assaulting cultural and “old” system institutions. They may talk of conservation but they don’t mean of the past or of precedent. They want socioeconomic upheaval, hoping that will clear the way for the implementation of a socialist system.

Which is, of course, why Francis Fox Piven — original source of the “overwhelm the system to destroy it” strategy — is fully supporting these hippies and is hoping their actions will open the way for a transition to socialism. She sees what we’re seeing: Their true intentions. Not regulation or reform, but total systemic change. Change from capitalism to socialism.
