    No, probably dead or in concentration camps before they could demonstrate violently. Still, the Red Army was used against its people who were protesting.

    Then you should realize how poor your analogy was.

    Be sure to lock up well and keep your insurance up to date.

    What I found interesting is that the radical left mobilised their network worldwide to protest but clearly don't have strong enough presence in Australia...gave governments a good look at the Marxist movement globally.

    Actually one hell of a lot more White people die at the hands of the police than do Black people. It's just that those incidents do not fit the leftist political narrative and so they do not get bandied about on television with commentators not so subtly urging riotors to tear up a city.

    https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/reports/2018/02/21/447051/systematic-inequality/

    Unfortunately, wealth in this country is unequally distributed by race—and particularly between white and black1 households.2 African American families have a fraction of the wealth of white families, leaving them more economically insecure and with far fewer opportunities for economic mobility".

    "Several key factors exacerbate this vicious cycle of wealth inequality. Black households, for example, have far less access to tax-advantaged forms of savings, due in part to a long history of employment discrimination and other discriminatory practices. A well-documented history of mortgage market discrimination means that blacks are significantly less likely to be homeowners than whites,3 which means they have less access to the savings and tax benefits that come with owning a home".

    "Black households have fewer and are in greater need of personal savings than their white counterparts. For a variety of reasons, blacks are more likely to experience negative income shocks but are less likely to have access to emergency savings. As a consequence, blacks are more likely to fall behind on their bills and go into debt during times of emergency."

    ...times of emergency, like the present pandemic...

    Entrenched systemic poverty, including race-based poverty, leads to demoralisation and resentment. The murder of a black lit the fuse of anarchy, in this instance.

    I suggest you look in the mirror before making your claim, above...

    Have you forgotten the Kalgoorlie riots a couple of years back?

    https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/elijah-doughty-kalgoorlie-killer-not-guilty/8731754


    Same story. The tolerance of entrenched poverty by the majority, based on dysfunctional neoliberal orthodoxy.

    And a single incidence of violence lights the fuse, leading to widespread anarchy.

    I think it’s pretty clear what my opinions are.
    Looting and arson are bad, but rage can result from a history of not being listened to.

    How many white people die at the hands of police as compared to black people?
    A coincidence? I don't think so....

    Oh dear,
    it is 2020, and you still believe in this crap?
    Just imagine, weapons in the hands of soldiers defending their country only (ups, that doesn't apply to the US anyway) and of course the police force, which values black and white people the same - and you don't have as many people murdered as you have in countries with the 2nd amendment in place. The US is so far behind, and so racist.....
    Sorry, no personal offence meant!

    His way is total escalation. That makes him so dangerous, not only for the US.

    The Donald is a bit like Adolph Hitler. He's a predator who loves fellow predators like Kim and Putin. If he loses reelection, he will surely do something very stupid and crazy. In his view, he's already the King of all Americans by God's grace. :(

    Yes, lets disarm the people and only allow the government guns because we can trust them and that has worked so well, before. Like with native Americans....:rolleyes:

    You trust the government to protect you? This is the same government you want to have all the guns in the middle of protests against excessive government force. I don't see it. I still value self defense and minimal dependence on government.

    You'll have to cut some slack to those not living in the US, as our media only reports on black deaths by cop. In spite of the fact that twice as many white deaths happen by cop. Hell, it seems most in the US don't even know this. Thanks to our marvelous media....

    To add further. Texas has about 1.5 million private citizens with a License To Carry. These people commit crimes at rates that are 10-15 times less than the average adult Texan. Their statistics on gun use for protection of themselves or others are better than police in many ways. Texas keeps pretty good statistics every year and it's public record. My wife and I both carry and we aren't criminals.

    I am interested specifically in now, how the marxists are mobilising now because it provides a "tentacle" map...apparently there was a few hundred led by the Communist party in Sydney.

    this is organised, planned and organised, sure there are people who protest & not linked to the communists, but why are there no protests in Africa? After all a black man have been killed... there are millions of Australians outraged why are they not protesting or rioting like in the US.... because the protests & riots are orchestrated by the Marxists.

    What is really concerning is how the Democrats are using the riots to drum up support. This to me indicate a link with Antifa or the Marxists.

    Note: aborigines make up a much smaller percentage of the population, than blacks in the US, so race-based protests will be of a much smaller scale in Australia. (The Kalgoorlie riots did not spread beyond that town).

    The real issue is the tolerance of entrenched poverty, among a minority, by the majority of the population, based on a dysfunctional neoliberal system.

    That's why Antifa and other Marxist groups are found in democracies, to overcome this egregious tolerance of disadvantage.

    Notable events like the murder of Floyd, by agents of the state (police), are of course the catalyst for protest.

    But peaceful protests re economic disadvantage achieve nothing for the disadvantaged themselves, given the acceptance of the neoliberal system, so there is always the tendency for protests to turn violent as we are witnessing in the US, because of the resentment, frustration and demoralisation among the disadvantaged.

    And criminality resulting from the continuing demoralisation of the disadvantaged group means the police are in an impossible situation: they have to maintain "law and order" in a system which perpetuates economic injustice.

    Actually Obama achieved nothing; it would be good if the Dems actually did something to change that status quo re black disadvantage.

    Protests scheduled for the weekend, so interesting here is that in South Africa black police rape whites, they pour boiling water down white farmer throats, they unhook white farmer women's hipbones and rape them to death, they burn white people alive in blatant racial attacks and no one protest.

    Millions of black people are on the brink of starvation in Africa due to corrupt black governance and no one cares.

    The communists mobilise protests about a black man killed by a white police man and the world erupt... you people have problems. :lol:

    who is distorting the views of millions of people?

    the media

    btw the globalists & marxists are going all out because they are losing.... and they want Biden to give them the Federal Reserve back.

    Honestly you've got to hand it to the Globalists :applause::applause: they use the media powered by selective (black) human rights... no one else's human rights matter :lol: to steal humanity blind. The greatest con job ever, also the biggest mass murder ever but we're going to keep focussing on the one guy they want us to :lol: The amount of money they are stealing from us... is very impressive (they probably sleep like babies at night despite the death-toll :lol: )
