The White House was on lockdown, with the president barricaded inside while police tried to regain control.

A speaker asks whether a socialist revolution would be violent or non-violent. Another speaker responds that they would prefer a non-violent revolution. The speaker sketches out a scenario where a general strike turns into a revolution with workers occupying factories and seizing control. They posit that capitalists would respond by sending armed thugs to slaughter the workers, necessitating self-defense. The speaker states that defending against violence inevitably creates violence. They acknowledge the ideal of a peaceful revolution where capitalists concede defeat without resistance, but admit that this scenario is unlikely.

Speaker 1: "a couple thousand people." The country was "Millions. 25, 50,000,000." How could a couple thousand take over? "People didn't respond"—they thought it would blow over. "One building" housed the entire Bolshevik party; "one building could have saved all of Russia, all of the people. No gulags, no Solzhenitsyn, none of it. No Red Terror, etcetera." The czars faced "Equal parts pride and fear." They believed "There's no way that these rebel rousers are going to provide an actual threat," and then "blood" followed. The pattern: "operational preparation of the environment" (OPE). First stage: "separation"—oppressed and oppressors; Lenin and the "coalition of the fringes" building. Then "Soviet" to Soviet—"councils of workers and factories"—not millions. Then "messaging"—"peace, land, bread" and "mass formation hypnosis" to unite; "infiltrate" key institutions; stage of revolution. "September '17."
