Disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn revealed that he had been served with eight subpoenas in one night in what he said was an effort to keep Donald Trump out of office.

"Steve, a little breaking news here on your show, I received eight, count them, eight subpoenas last night," he revealed.
Flynn suggested the subpoenas were aimed at keeping Trump out of office, but didn't give details about what they were issued for.
"So these people are going to do everything they can, these Marxists, this communist takeover of the United States of America," he opined. "And we are in the throes of a Marxist takeover of the United States of America."

That was true for everybody. So, we knew, we thought we were normal. And they were telling us that WE were nuts. That we were criminals. That we were acting in a way that was contributing to the demise of civilization. And we knew that they were nuts. That their way of doing things had got us to this point."

To me, this makes so much sense it's pitiful.
And now, their way has gotten us to this point.

They always point to the Bernie Sanders quote that he is a socialist, which I'm assuming he said on different occasions but I'm pretty sure he usually qualifies it by saying he is a Democratic Socialist, big difference considering what Bernie believes and doesn't believe, he is not a true full socialist by any means.
Biggest problem is not many but MOST maga have no clue what any of those terms mean.

And no, I am not a Communist.
Marx was Jewish and against the monolithic owner class, that's why they hate him, especially since he was born into that class.

Bezmenov said that Marxist overthrow begins by undermining the values of the targeted society. Ideological subversion is the process, which is legitimate, overt, and open; you can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do, all American mass media has to do, is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. There is no mystery.11
When it came to KGB efforts, Bezmenov said:
[O]nly about 15% of the time, money, and manpower [are] spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process, which we call either ideological subversion, or active measuresin the language of the KGBor psychological warfare. What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality, of every American, to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.12
The ex-KGB agent said the great brainwashing process begins with a demoralization process that takes 15-20 years . . . the minimum number of years which [is required] to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy.13
From there, it takes only from two to five years to destabilize a nationwhat matters [are] essentials: economy, foreign relations, defense systems. Next, It may take only up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. Finally, with a violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have a period of normalization. It may last indefinitely. At that point, Marxism reigns unimpeded.

HOW MARXISTS TAKE OVER (AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT)
The fall of the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics did not end the threat of Communism. Yuri Bezmenov, an ex-KGB agent who defected from Russia to Canada in 1970, told [ ]

So these people are going to do everything they can, these Marxists, this communist takeover of the United States of America," he opined. "And we are in the throes of a Marxist takeover of the United States of America."What about the Bolsheviks, and Trotskyites?
I think we have a clear case of discrimination if these groups aren't included in Flynn's diatribes.

We should be so lucky as to have some communist principles enacted. I'd like to propose we start by overturning Citizens United. Corporations are not people. Next let's seize the means of production and make things more fair. We could start with Tesla just because I'm sick of hearing Musk's whining about not getting paid enough. Or we could seize Trump's assests and divvy them up - after all the paperwork has already been started ...
