In a speech given last week, Tucker Carlson compared today’s America with that of early 20th century Russia, a time when civil war broke out and ultimately led to communist leadership.
Carlson’s speech was given at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s 70th Anniversary Gala.
Carlson began by referencing the memoirs of a Russian General by the name of Pyotr Wrangel. (Trending: Navy SEAL Says Joe Biden Is A Disgrace
Tucker tells the story of Pyotr Wrangel and the Russian Revolution: "The country is in complete chaos. He goes into a movie theater and everyone in the theater is completely absorbed in the movie, like there's no revolution happening outside.

“Soldiers are going crazy in the streets. And they’re raping women. They’re stealing at gunpoint — soldiers in uniform.”
“He [Wrangel] goes into a movie theater, and everyone in the movie theater is completely absorbed in the movie, like there’s no revolution happening outside.”
Following this experience, Wrangel had headed to an imperial building to inform the Czar of the events taking place.
“And he notices about 80 percent of the women in the Romanov family are wearing red ribbons in solidarity with the Bolsheviks who wound up — of course we know how it ends — murdering them.”
Carlson then drew parallels to today, saying, “How is it that this country is being devoured by a violent revolution, and the people who can afford movie tickets — that is, kind of our middle class — are refusing even to acknowledge that it’s happening, and the ruling class against whom it is aimed are sympathizing with it?” (Trending: 95-Year-Old Veteran Kicked Out of Nursing Home For Illegal Immigrant)
“And if this doesn’t remind you of [Black Lives Matter], I don’t know what does,” he added.
“I’m reading this on my porch at like midnight. I couldn’t go to sleep. I was like, ‘Wait, I live in that country. That’s happening now.’”
“This is a revolution. It’s aim is to hurt you. Yes, that would include physically, in the end. Sorry,” Carlson went on.
“If someone tells you you’re not allowed to speak, if someone tells you your children are not your children, OK, these are not ideological differences. This is not, ‘Oh, I prefer, you know, this capital gains rate,’” he exclaimed.
“These are totalitarian measures that treat you as non-human.”
