Vanguard Of The Proletariat

American Thinker has an interesting article up about the 9/12 protests. Several in the comments noted that it was a movement with no leader. That got me thinking about the Marxist concept of the Vanguard of the Proletariat. Or in more common parlance - Leaders of the Revolution. What we saw on 9/12 turns that whole concept on its head. The Proletariat IS the Vanguard.

How exactly is Mr. Obama going to defeat such a movement in the traditional way i.e. by taking out the agitators and leaders? So far he and the Democrats have attempted to do it by insulting the citizens involved. A tactic similar to what was used on Sarah Palin. This has only served to get more citizens involved. We are all Sarah Palin now.

And Sarah, like this movement, is no friend of Republicans or Democrats. She is a friend of the vanguard. A friend of the proletariat.
