‘We want to tear the American system down,’ one protestor told The Federalist.
A week before the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence, more than 1,000 people assembled at the nation’s capital to make a declaration of their own: their vision to dismantle America’s founding institutions. “All of US Next250 National Mobilization” protested the Trump administration, debuted new “founding documents,” and re-envisioned America as seen by Marxist revolutionaries.
“It’s not just a day, it’s a movement, and it’s been three years in the making,” Saru Jayarman, a co-organizer of Next250, told The Federalist. “This is the time to set the tone for what the next 250 years will be.”
Dozens of activist organizations assembled, whose headliners have helmed the largest social-unrest operations in the past decade. On the eve of the nation’s birthday they’re calling for the radical restructuring of America. This Communists have always accomplished through violence, a history eerily recalled at the demonstration, where a squirrel with its throat slit had been laid at the base of a drinking fountain. What appeared to be its blood saturated the fountain during the demonstration.
“The only thing that will save this nation is to create a 250-year progressive route forward,” said speaker Tamika Mallory, a leading force behind the George Floyd riots. “Our assignment is not to preserve institutions and ideologies we inherited from some mythical idea. It is to build a new system worthy of generations to come.”
