Terror is a weapon most critical to any ‘revolution’. This was examplified during the French Revolution and is ongoing in Russia with the successive re-imaginings of Lenin’s Cheka. I suspect that the lessons were not missed by the #Project2025 authors and implementers in the #WH. Revolutions without terror do not last and give way to ‘re-normalisation’ of the regime (see post revolutionary French history for example).

The US is currently in the midst of an #OligarchicRevolution and the #Terror is just begining (because it has not ending in such regimes).
