Antifa and Black Lives Matter do nothing for the working class or black people

In Epoch Times, Roger L. Simon writes,
For those who have had an, alas, typical American education and are unfamiliar with Kristallnacht (“Crystal Night”) when Hitler’s paramilitary “Sturmabteilung” (SA), literally Storm Detachment, broke a lot more than windows on Nov. 9-10, 1938. Here’s just a few words of description from Wikipedia:

“Jewish homes, hospitals and schools were ransacked as attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps.”

...America has been in its own version of Crystal Night for many months now from broken windows to looting to destruction of myriad stores and other places of business, police stations, and government edifices, not to mention considerable physical harm to persons.

Although not yet of Nazi (i.e., National Socialist) proportions, it’s pretty bad and doesn’t seem to be getting better.

For the most part, nothing is being done about it, especially on the state and municipal levels. As in Nazi Germany, it is unchecked.

...These German people too thought of themselves as “progressive,” just as Antifa and Black Lives Matter claim to be. More exactly, they claim to be Marxists, at least the BLM leadership does. Antifa answers to anarchist… or something.

In reality, they are the two most reactionary groups to have appeared in this country in some time, what Orwell would have called “objectively pro-fascist.” They do nothing for the working class (ironically, that’s the police; they’re the real working class) or black people.

They ruin the lives of both, aided and abetted by the media and “progressive” elected officials who are among the most cowardly men and women in our country, refusing to support the basic safety of their citizens.
