For the first time ever in my blogging career, I am thinking about having a guest post or a collaborative post from another blogger. It came about from a question posed by commenter Joe Blow at this link.
I used to wonder, like what would be the sign, how would you know the communists really have taken over, bolshevism is coming, etc , etc… like, how would you know that balloon has gone up?
My answer was:
I posted on that just after the 2020 election. You can read it here.
https://areaocho.com/vzyali/The trials have begun.
https://areaocho.com/cia-insurgency-manual/The show trials MUST happen. I outline why here:
https://areaocho.com/show-trials-4/You bet your ass that I am closely watching the lists of Republican donors and prominent political figures. If the disappearances begin, you will know that its time to disappear before you hear the knock at your own door.
My experience is all on research and guesses on my part. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who isn’t from the US, and experienced it firsthand.
So here is my request to all of my readers:
If you have any first hand experience or memories of what this would look like from your own past, it would be an honor if you could share some firsthand experience with all of us. You can either share them with me so that I can do a post, or post it on your own blog. If you are interested, please email me at the link in the sidebar. Divemedic at areaocho.com. I have also reached out to another blogger to see if he would be interested in this project.

The number of people who understood political implications at the time of the introduction of communism in their respective country is rapidly decreasing. In Poland and the rest of Central Europe you’d have to be at least 90yo (so say 12yo when commies came, and that’d have to be a bright 12yo).
But a few years ago Rod Dreher did a very good job with his “Live not by lies” book. He found some really great interlocutors. Clearly his focus was different, but when you read it you will find many answers to your question there as well.

Get BCE for the view from the infantry. About the Stig Beal (s)election…thou doth protest too much Derp State.
An example is Red State where only the county with capital city which is CPUSA occupied voted for Brandon.
Don’t drink the fortified Jonestown Democracy Kool-Aid, ain’t nobody got time for that.

[…] sent a request to Miguel yesterday, asking him if he would be so kind as to tell us of any first hand experience or memories of what a communist revolution looked like from his own past. He was kind enough to oblige- please […]
