>>2837839>>2837933I just don't buy the silence. Portland's anarchist scene didn't just evaporate out of thin air. That movement has deep roots going back to the early 2000s when an anarchist fled a traffic stop, pulled a gun on a cop twenty seconds in, and got dropped and shot to death. That incident supercharged the anti‑cop ethos out there. It's been building ever since. Terror's only increased in the Northwest, and we've seen anarchist violence spike in Oakland, NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Seattle, Portland, LA. DOJ officially labeled those anarchist jurisdictions. Some of those cities even elected anarchist‑sympathetic council members who've interfered with prosecutions behind closed doors.
So where did everyone go? I find it hard to believe they just disappeared. Something's brewing. I think they genuinely don't see themselves as adventurists they think they're waiting for a moment. But I don't like the feeling. I want to know what they're planning, which orgs are still active, whether people are moving from riots toward EZLN‑style autonomous zones like CHAZ 2.0. These people don't go silent for no reason i want to know whats next?
while im here what did those Juche‑tag posters mean when they said "it was a beta test"? Was there actually an organization driving them? If so, which ones? We saw a wave of Tesla window shootings, then attacks went silent. Did everyone forget the communists and anarchists arrested last year for crashing out with weapons, like not just Sugarland, but multiple other cases the media only briefly skims? Down here in Texas, over a year ago anarchists threatened Tesla HQ. I walked past a taped‑off crime scene and a cop told someone, "Yeah, I agree the anarchist movement disrupts business and America." Someone had sent threats to the HQ itself.
So what's happening now? What's the next play? Which Maoist, anarchist, or Jucheist organizations are leading this if any? Because we know someone is backing them funding, coordination, safe houses, hotel cards, IDS, bail money, but we can't pin down who or where. Their orgs dissolve right after they pull something stupid, then they reappear. I just want to understand how adventurists actually function. They don't publish mission statements. No clear leaders. No stated strategy or even which tactics they endorse. Are they even leftists, or just provocateurs?
Compare that to DSA, CPUSA, PSL, RCAI can look up their platform, find their leadership, predict their next move. With this crowd? Ghosts. That makes it hard for anyone to support them, even if they wanted to.
One thing I do know is liberals love shielding revolutionary anarchists and communists. Not because they agree with them, but because televising their actions would expose that the liberal reformer has lost control of the left voter. So they just pretend the anarchist wing doesn't exist, even while it's hijacking their entire movement.
