As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism

The majority of the young, brainwashed radicals are going to have to lean how to say "do you want fries with that?" in Spanish.

Well, if history repeats itself and is any example, they will be the first to go if the left is successful in taking over the country. Hitler killed thousands of his followers when he consolidated power. Stalin also purged many thousands. At least we have a function, making and fixing things, feeding the country, but the useful idiots will then just be useless idiots.

The article references the young as useful idiots, but for me the image is old women with short tan pants, hairy legs and fishing hats, looking like they are leaving for a safari. And always the required protest sign. They look like they fell asleep at Woodstock and just now woke up. We had a lot of those out west.

While the useful idiots might get jobs at the factories or government farms, those who opposed the tyranny will find ourselves lodging at the gulag or six feet below the ground. By all means we have to stop this insanity while we can.

The young folks today can barely part with the cell phones for five seconds. They will be absolutely wrecked if they wake up to full blown marxism. They'll run screaming to their mamas and poppas. They think the force is coming after us; they will be stunned when they realize they'll go first, and they won't have us to protect them. The reality of them realizing we were right and it's too late, will take out many of them--especially the old critters poster #4 describes.

If history follows a pattern they will be among the first to die. This Marxist revolution is guaranteed to not end like the others have because a whole bunch of angry people know it's coming.

They will wait in line for hours waiting for the store to open, hoping there are still a loaf of bread and a roll of toilet paper on the shelf.

The first useful idiots to go in the Cultural Revolution in China were all the professors. Too bad they don't teach history anymore. First there was the Bolshevik Revolution, 40 million souls murdered, In China they called it the Cultural Revolution, 40 million dead, then there was Cambodia and going back to 'Day Zero' and 3 million dead. Now they're calling it the Great Reset, wonder how many dead or imprisoned here before it's over.

At this time all the useful idiots see street marches, clever words or vulgarities on their signs, high tides and green grass because they bend to Marxism. Little do they know that war or death is in the future. I've always said the useful idiots should view the movies Dr. Zhivago and Reds to see how communism isn't so great. When you are freezing and hungry you secretly tear down a wooden fence to make a fire for warmth eating a potato spud to quell your hunger. The sorry followers just don't know how ruthless life will be and it's not in a cell phone this applies to media also.

The rule in communist regimes is universal, and always the same. Useful idiots are always among the first to get one in the back of the head.

In Leninist Russia the intelligencia and proletariat (academia and educated intellectuals) were in the front lines of the propaganda campaign. After Lenin's demise Stalin had them exterminated by working them to death in the Siberian mines. He knew that they would figure out that their ideals for utopia were only to serve his tyrannical rule and they could rally against him. History repeats!

The same things will happen to them as what has always happened to the rabble ... they will happily work in a labor-camp factory making products for their Chinese masters in exchange for meager food and cramped housing .... or ... they will be eliminated into mass graves. Period.

They’ll just be idiots who are not useful anymore. Idiots are incapable of learning from their idiocy.

The author and many posters here seem to believe Russia is a Marxist country. It is no such thing. It’s financed by oligarchs and run by a corrupt strong man, none of whom want a return to communism.

They are already being taken care of before they begin to see the writing on the wall - the useful idiots are largely the ones getting the jab. The jab will eliminate a lot of them without the government thugs even having to come after them. They are the ones who continue to wear masks because they “don’t want to be mistaken for Republicans”.
