What is not to be done

The following piece comes from a Trotskyite site. It shows one more example, and even more, of where people go wrong in the struggle against Left dhimmi fascism in the real world. What is the gain in shooting some nobody political hack in Arkansas? Lenin covers this completely in What is to be Done? If Timothy Dale Johnson wanted to express his displeasure against the Left, in what way did he succeed?

He is not merely a fool, he is dead.

Patrick Martin,"Gunman murders Arkansas Democratic Party chairman." World Socialist Web. 15 August 2008

The Arkansas state chairman of the Democratic Party was shot to death Wednesday by a gunman who was himself killed in a later exchange of gunfire with police. Bill Gwatney, 48, was murdered in his office in Little Rock. ...

The gunman, Timothy Dale Johnson, entered the premises pretending to be interested in volunteering, then pushed past several staff members to reach the chairman's office. He introduced himself to Gwatney and they shook hands, whereupon he pulled out a handgun and opened fire, hitting the Democratic Party official four times, including once in the head. Gwatney died four hours later.

The Little Rock murder is the fourth recent incident in the South of violence or threatened violence against groups or individuals demonized by the ultra-right.

On July 27, Jim Adkisson, 58, walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church near Knoxville, Tennessee and opened fire with a semiautomatic shotgun on the audience attending a children's play, killing two members of the church, Greg McKendry, age 60, and Linda Kraeger, age 61, and wounding six others. He subsequently killed himself, leaving a suicide note in which he stated "his hatred for the liberal movement," particularly the church's openness to gays.

On August 2, 22-year-old Raymond Hunter Geisel was arrested in Miami and charged with making death threats against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Police found weapons, body armor and other military gear in his car and hotel room. Geisel made the threats against Obama, including a reference to the candidate with a racial epithet, during a training session he was undertaking to become a bail bondsman. Others in the class reported him to the police. He faces federal charges.

On August 8, 48-year-old Jerry M. Blanchard was arrested in North Carolina for making similar threats to kill Obama. A Secret Service agent claimed that Blanchard may have mental health issues due to a recent head injury, and Blanchard has denied threatening the Democratic presidential candidate.

Johnson fits the social profile of these cases. He was white, middle-aged and under considerable economic stress. He was socially isolated, living alone in the home he had shared with his parents until his father's death in 2006. He owned a small arsenal of weapons—14 guns in the house, two more in the truck in which he died—and took regular practice at a local shooting club.

He was undoubtedly conservative in his political views, and had voted in Republican primaries for most of the past decade, except in 2006 when he voted in a Democratic primary. He voted in the Republican presidential primary February 5, which was won by the former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

Trotskyites are here gloating over fools. Good for them. Maybe the ridicule they spew will wake up some people enough that they will realize the Communists have sometimes a better approach to revolution that some idiot with a gun in his pocket.

As the slogan above reads: A successful revolutionary is a statesman. Perhaps I could change it to: "An unsuccessful one is dead." One dead fool.

We should struggle to win, not to be idiot jihadi homicide-bombers and fools. To win requires intelligence and planning. Even that can lead to death, but at least one won't die a total fool.
