A socialist/color revolution is happening in the US. By Julio Rosas.
Everyone’s debating what happened in Minnesota. Few are talking about the real problem: what these “protests” are really like. …
Lost in the back-and-forth is a more basic question that almost no one is asking: What is actually going on at these protests?
The left has its answer ready. New York magazine put a masked protester on its cover under the headline “Your Friendly Neighborhood Resistance.” The image is striking, the title heroic. …

It’s a compelling piece of mythmaking. The truth is something much less glamorous.
I’ve spent years covering left-wing protests and riots across America, from 2020 through the present. What I’ve witnessed on the ground looks nothing like the noble resistance portrayed in legacy media.
The reality: Chaos. Violence. Dishonesty. Truly, the street activists are among the most dishonest people I’ve encountered.
If you rely solely on their videos (the ones that feed the outrage machine on social media) you will be systematically and intentionally misinformed. Whether through misleading captions or selectively edited footage, left-wing activists are masters at manipulating sympathetic national media. This, in turn, feeds mainstream outlets more than happy to take their material and craft their preferred narratives.
The recent unrest in Minneapolis is a textbook example. Claims of “legal observers” being “brutalized” by federal agents are routinely disproven when other video evidence from the same scenes emerges. But by then, the narrative has already been set. …
The debate America needs to have:
We’re arguing over whether two deaths were justified — poring over body camera footage like sports referees watching the instant replay, assigning blame, sorting ourselves into teams. That argument will never be resolved. It’s not meant to be. It’s meant to be a distraction. The real question isn’t whether federal agents were justified in Minneapolis.
The real question is what kind of organized resistance has taken root in American cities and what it will take to uproot it.
These aren’t protesters. They’re not even rioters, not in the traditional sense. What I’ve witnessed over the past five years is the emergence of something else entirely: networked, coordinated, ideologically committed groups that operate more like cells than citizens. They have communication infrastructure, reconnaissance capabilities, and target lists. They can mobilize in hours and coordinate across state lines.
The New York cover wants you to see a friendly neighbor in a gas mask. What I see is something the country isn’t ready to confront.
The justified-or-not debate is comfortable. It lets us stay in familiar left versus right, cops versus protesters territory, the same worn-out arguments we’ve been having for decades.
But that debate is a luxury we may not be able to afford much longer. What’s building in Minneapolis, in Portland, Austin, Chicago, in cities across the country, isn’t going away after the news cycle moves on.
The only question is whether we’re willing to see it clearly.
A socialist/color revolution is happening in the US. Can it defeat a functioning democracy? Who is organizing and funding it?
