Step one for forming a radical organization: Declare yourselves the One True
Faith/Politic/Idea for a people/creed/culture/nation.

Step two: make other people belive they are threatened. (Compare this
to the rhetoric Hitler put out about mongrel forces trying to destroy
Germany.

Step three: make people believe that the threat has taken power and is
now about to crush them, thus instilling a sense of urgency. (Compare the
above paragraph to any Jello Biafra/Dead Kennedys album.

Step four: declare yourselves the defenders of that which your political
culture holds dear, in this case freedom.

Step five: point to failures and flaws in the system as "evidence" that your
ideas are right. (Compare to Hitler speeches regarding the Jewish Question
and linking it to Germany's then-ruinous economy)

Step six: Having conned people into believing the organization is for them
using steps one through five, declare war on the things you're fighting
against.

Translation: There is no room for dissent or argument. You will follow the
party line given by the leadership of this organization. (Compare to Chinese
"Democracy" under the Maoist system)

Translation: Violence is encouraged. Be careful of this. It could very
easily lead this nation into civil warfare. Everyone in the United States
is on edge right now and the last thing we need is a Fascist group committing
terrorist acts so that a Communist group has an excuse to respond in kind.
I know people who are trigger happy enough to do just this. Are you sure
you want to declare war on them?

Translation: We are a radical group. 

Please note that I base this translation on the fact that same said
revolutionary communists from the previous translation take a similar
hardline stance about Marxism.

I will warn people who read this once again: this sort of group is a very
dangerous idea. In this day and age it could lead the United States to 
civil war, such that democracy itself will be threatened by radical hard-line
fascist and communist factions. A lot of people feel threatened on both sides,
and if violence starts up then everyone will somehow end up involved. We
must accept that there are other sides that are not out to get us or we
will destroy ourselves. I would not be surprised if most people thought
that I was lying or exagerating; rest assured that the people who feel 
most threatened are *not* mainstream moderate Americans. I have associated
with radicals often, and I am quite disturbed by the level of hostility
they express towards the other side. You have seen an example of this
hostility in what Orion wrote. This is typical of the thinking of most
Fascist and Communist radicals. If you need more evidence, then I would
encourage you to listen to speeches by Jello Biafra or to talk to a radical
about their opinions.

Peace or else.
