This might seem like a deep cut — like some esoteric trivia that no one would ever need to know — but it’s one of the most important historical facts that you never learn in school: The Bolsheviks never won more than 30% of the vote in Russia in any election.
They were never close to obtaining the support of a majority of the population. In fact, they were widely detested. As it turns out, Russians did not want to empty their bank accounts at gunpoint and transfer all of their money to the government. They didn’t want the government to seize private property and arrest the clergy. They didn’t want the government to take the grain from the peasants, causing mass starvation. But all of this happened anyway.

Why? Because the Bolsheviks were extremely dedicated to their mission. They were well-organized. They were willing to wage war to advance their ideology, while the traditionalists — the supporters of the tsar and the Empire — were not. The traditionalists were growing wary of World War I. They were skeptical of the tsar, who was spending too much time, they thought, with an Epstein-like figure named Rasputin.
They weren’t energized or cohesive. So the Bolsheviks won by default. They abolished the legislature and ruled for more than seven decades. They murdered tens of millions of people and brought economic ruin to the entire country. And they did it all with less than 30% support.
None of my teachers ever taught me this, and I’m willing to bet yours didn’t either. You’ll learn a lot about the Nazis from your high school history teacher, but virtually nothing about the Soviets. And that’s a big problem — one we’re going to address in the next episode of Real History, which focuses on the Bolsheviks’ rise to power and the many atrocities they committed.
This lesson could not be more urgent now that socialists have taken over the Democratic Party. As you’ve probably seen, socialists just won a clean sweep in the New York congressional primaries, which guarantees that we’ll have several more socialists in Congress next year.

To be clear, the majority of Americans do not support socialism. The majority of Democratic voters do not support socialism. But the socialists will win anyway, just as they did in Russia, if Americans remain passive — if everyone assumes that someone else will take care of the problem.
Unless we treat these communists as a direct threat to the lives of every American — unless we fight them with the same fervor and commitment they have — they will overpower us. They will do to every conservative precisely what they did to Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson.
They will exterminate their political enemies, just as the Bolsheviks did. And then they’ll plunder the country until there’s nothing left.
The turnout in the primary elections in New York was less than 15%. That was it — just 15%. In the primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, which has a population of 750,000, only 66,000 votes were cast in total. And of those 66,000 votes, only 33,000 went to Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-backed socialist whose platform, explicitly, is to destroy Western Civilization.
That’s not hyperbole. It’s literally pulled from the Instagram account of the student group she founded, called Columbia University Apartheid and Divest:
“We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization. … Our intifada is an internationalist one. … As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South.”
NY-13 nominee Daraliza Avila Chevalier is a founder of CUAD. The org’s stated goal?

Gone are the days when New York’s leaders would seek guidance from men like George Kelling and James Wilson — the academics who pioneered the Broken Windows approach to law enforcement. Today, New York’s leaders are soliciting lessons from warlords in Africa and Latin America, and other renowned experts in killing white people.
This is now the dominant, controlling ideology of the Democratic Party. If you vote for Democrats for any reason, in any context, you are supporting a communist takeover of the United States.
Already, party elites are capitulating to these Bolsheviks, hoping it might buy them a few more years in office. The leaders of the Democratic Party have already ceded power to communists. In response to a former DNC chair who said these candidates are terrible for the party, here’s what Chris Murphy — the powerful senator from Connecticut — wrote on social media:
I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters? Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us — and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
So there it is. This is capitulation. These communists are not demanding that Democrats “be bolder.” They’re demanding the end of capitalism and Western Civilization itself. There’s a very big difference there. And Chris Murphy knows it. But he’s too cowardly to stand up and risk his political career — or perhaps his life, given how insane these people are — in order to defend the United States from these communists.
This is exactly how trans ideology took hold as well. Every sane person understands that men can’t transform into women, and that boys can’t transform into girls. But trans activists were so aggressive and so violent that they successfully browbeat the entire party into submission, to the point that Democrats’ presidential nominee in the last election appeared on-camera, in front of a national audience, to declare that she supported taxpayer-funded sex changes for illegal immigrants in prison — a proposal so demented that it seems like it was designed in a lab to be the single most indefensible policy position imaginable. But Democrats (and a lot of so-called “moderates”), who were terrified of being called transphobic, went along with this fraud at the highest levels.
If you’re tempted to think I’m overstating the case here, and that the rise of socialism is confined to the coasts, take a look at this footage out of Idaho from a few weeks ago. The Party for Socialism and Liberation organized a school walkout over ICE. And hundreds of furious children showed up, demanding an end to immigration enforcement in the United States. Again, this isn’t New York. It’s not California. It’s Idaho.
Watch:
🚨 The reaction by conservatives thinking “Flyover country will reject the Mamdani ideology” are grossly underestimating what’s happening.
“Flyover country” are all soft targets for hijackings of students. And you, the American taxpayer, are funding it.

Surveys show that Democrats under 50 prefer socialism by an 80-to-13 margin. Overall, the party prefers socialism to capitalism by a 68-to-20 margin. These are numbers that would’ve been unthinkable just a few years ago. Gallup has similar numbers.

In response to these polls, a lot of people will say the system has failed. Affording a home has become a challenge. Getting a job has become much more difficult. And all of those trends are real — we’ve talked about them before.
That’s not to say we’re doing poorly, relative to other countries. Our quality of life is much higher than in Canada, Mexico, or the UK. Our economy has been growing consistently for a very long time, while those economies have stagnated.
The average American today enjoys luxuries that would’ve been hard to comprehend just a few years ago. Everyone has a supercomputer in their pocket, for example. At the same time, obviously, we could be doing better.
But let’s be very clear about this: If your solution to our problems is to embrace socialism, then you are historically illiterate, unintelligent, and dangerous. If you want government bureaucrats to run the economy just like they run the DMV, then you are so ignorant and so moronic (if not simply evil) that you are a threat to everyone around you. You should be deported immediately. You don’t belong here.
Even if you buy the idea that “things were vastly better 30 or 40 years ago” — even though, in many ways, they were not — you still don’t come anywhere close to justifying socialism. After all, we didn’t have socialism 30 or 40 years ago either.
The only countries that have tried socialism have inflicted unimaginable suffering on millions of people, for the obvious reason that free markets are a much better way of distributing resources than retarded government bureaucrats, who don’t have an incentive to do anything correctly.
Nevertheless, on CNN, Democrat strategists are now talking about how to spread socialism across the country. They say it’s part of building a “big tent party,” which is a term that used to mean “appealing to moderates.” Now, in the eyes of the Democrat Party, the tent needs to include people who want to burn the tent down and kill everyone inside.
Watch:

Again, he’s a very weak, passive man who is probably not a communist himself. He seems reasonably intelligent. But he understands that these communists are vicious. They’ll shoot a father in the neck in front of millions of people because he disagreed with them. If you stand up to these demons, they might do the same thing to you. So it’s best to just go on CNN, talk about a “big tent,” and let these communists do whatever they want.
That’s the official position of the Democratic Party at this point. Here’s Ro Khanna, one of the most powerful and dishonest Democrats in Congress, reacting to the primaries on Tuesday:
Our message to the oligarchs: bring it on.

Ro Khanna is talking about “the oligarchs” as if he isn’t one. He’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars, thanks largely to his marriage. He has multiple homes, each worth well over $10 million. He’s allegedly one of the most prolific insider traders in Congress. By every definition, Ro Khanna is an oligarch. But he’s pretending he’s not, in order to crusade as some kind of working-class hero.
This is a perfect illustration of the new socialist movement in the Democratic Party. It’s driven, in large part, by wealthy people who get off on portraying themselves as commoners. It’s an illness. These people have no connection to reality.
Here’s one of their newest stars, the Mamdani-endorsed socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, whom I mentioned earlier. Let’s check in on her logical reasoning capabilities:

I don’t think I’ve seen a worse misunderstanding of the concept of “double jeopardy” since that awful 1999 film starring Ashley Judd.
No, deporting someone who’s arrested for committing a crime is not “double jeopardy.” That’s just called enforcing the law. It’s what happens when you commit two crimes. You get punished for both of them, not just one of them. If you’re arrested for bank robbery, and you happen to be an illegal alien, then you have to serve your time for bank robbery (offense number one). And then you get deported for being in the country illegally (which is offense number two). And yes, under our criminal law — 8 U.S. Code section 1325 — unauthorized entry by a foreign national is indeed a federal crime, punishable by imprisonment. It’s not an “administrative issue,” it’s a violation of federal criminal law. This is one of those lies that Leftists constantly repeat, even though anyone with Google can debunk it.
Of course, she doesn’t really care about double jeopardy, which is a product of her feverish imagination anyway. She has no idea what she’s talking about, and she certainly doesn’t care about the law. “All deportation is wrong,” she says. The United States can’t have borders anymore. We’re open to everyone — a totally insane policy that she would immediately abandon if a high proportion of illegal immigrants were white males.
She also believes that everyone in the United States is entitled to free healthcare, free housing, universal basic income, free pre-school, and free everything. So how does that work exactly? How do you have a welfare state — the most generous welfare state that has ever existed — along with open borders?
Who’s going to pay for the tens of millions of people who will walk into the country under this system of government? Did anyone who voted for the 19th Amendment ever imagine, in a million years, that we’d have to deal with candidates like this?
Part of the response has to be to train our focus on the issues that actually matter to this country and its people. I received this response the other day to my post that declared war on third-world communism in this country:
AIPAC gets wrecked in NYC and Matt Walsh capes in to try to reframe it in some race war terms. He plays this game where he’s critical of Netanyahu but when it matters he does the thing most helpful to Netanyahu.
In other words, if you care about the fact that communists are winning elections in our biggest city, and how they’re talking about nationalizing the airlines and destroying the economy, then you’re basically an agent of Israel. That’s what this guy is unironically claiming. And he’s not alone. The more we tolerate this brain rot, the worse it will get.
I don’t give a damn about Netanyahu. The idea that American citizens who oppose the election of third-world communists are somehow “helping Netanyahu” is so delusional and insane that it passes from a mere retarded talking point into full-blown schizophrenia. These people are Israel First, from the other direction. And while they’re talking about Netanyahu, this is what one of the most popular Leftists in the country is saying.

McCarthy was right. McCarthyism was fully justified. And we need a new wave of it, if we don’t want to end up exactly like the Soviet Union did. McCarthy helped save us from going down this direction in the 1950s. And by following his lead, we can do it again. We can wage a war on third-world communism and destroy anyone who subscribes to this ideology. And that’s what’s necessary at this point.
One of the things you’ll see when our next episode of Real History comes out is that the revolution starts in major cities, particularly the universities. The Bolsheviks actually co-opted an unrelated university protest, which erupted after the students were told to stop partying too hard, essentially. And the Bolsheviks, very cleverly, manipulated the students into joining their movement.
They knew that the students were young, dumb, and angry, and therefore very easy to manipulate. It’s a remarkable story, and it’s very similar to what’s happening on college campuses today. Students are upset about Gaza or whatever, which has no relevance to this country. But the communists are savvy.
They know they can take that anger and channel it into something much more destructive — something that advances the interests of the communists. That’s exactly what we’re seeing now. And just like the Russians in the 1900s, most Americans are passively watching the Bolsheviks rack up victory after victory. The opposition, once again, is too disorganized and too cowardly to do anything about the march of communism, even though the communists are outnumbered.
We should be encouraged by the story of those Antifa terrorists who just received massive prison sentences in Texas. They shot a police officer in the neck as part of a massive, coordinated assault on an immigration facility. The ringleader will be in prison for the next 100 years as a result. That’s a start, and we need to see much more of it.
Every single communist who commits a crime — of any kind — should receive a similar sentence. And every communist who openly declares his hatred of the United States, or who conspires to defraud this country, should be forcibly deported.
We became a much stronger country as a result of our last major crackdown on communists all those decades ago. Before another one of these communists wins another election in which almost no one voted, we must heed the lessons of history — both our history, and the history of the fall of the Russian Empire — and declare a full-scale and unapologetic war on communism while we still have the chance to win it.
