Are We Observing Red Terror 'Light', in the West Today?

Or maybe what we're observing is the precursor if we don't find a way out of it? Even if you hate President Trump, would that be a better alternative - a Hobsons Choice?

Certainly there seems to be an axis between communistic tyranny with the Greens recently and fascistic Islamism promoting similar ideas and almost holding hands in spite of obvious core ideological differences. Which is a strong nationalistic signal. 

The Red Terror - Formally authorised by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars on September 5, 1918

The Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom) issued the decree "On Red Terror" on September 5, 1918, which marked the official legalization of systematic mass repression by empowering the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission (Cheka) to conduct mass shootings without trial against White Guardists, counterrevolutionaries, and their associates, while also mandating concentration camps for suspects' families and other categories of class enemies.[2] The decree explicitly terminated the publication of execution lists to enhance secrecy and efficiency in operations, transforming prior sporadic reprisals into a coordinated state policy.

This policy was expanded through directives from Cheka leaders, notably Martin Latsis, who on November 1, 1918, published guidelines in Krasnaya Gazeta emphasizing class-based extermination over individual culpability: "We are not carrying on a war against individuals... Our goal is the destruction of the bourgeoisie as a class... Do not seek evidence that the accused acted against the Soviet power... The only question is: to which class does he belong?" Latsis, as head of the Cheka's Ukrainian operations, advocated for interrogations focused solely on social origin to expedite the liquidation of bourgeois elements, embedding guilt-by-association into administrative practice.

This was their mistake - you do not need to enforce oppression - to gain and retain POWER the better and easier way is to get the people to obey by free choice through social rewards. The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

The congress resolutions integrated terror into the party's military and organizational framework, portraying it not as a temporary expedient but as an enduring instrument of power against internal enemies.

Sound familiar below (USAID, NGO's, Antifa et al led by you know who in 'Council of People's Commissars')? 

The Cheka's organizational framework emphasized autonomy and decentralization, operating as a parallel structure to conventional Bolshevik state organs like the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. 

We're already seeing executions being widely approved post event:

The Cheka conducted executions predominantly through mass shootings carried out in secluded sites such as prison cellars, remote forests, or fields, where victims were frequently compelled to dig their own graves prior to being killed by firing squads.

And...

The Bolsheviks' class warfare doctrine, rooted in Marxist analysis, designated the bourgeoisie—capitalists, merchants, and landowners—as irredeemable parasites whose elimination was essential to proletarian dictatorship. 

Mr. Musk perhaps?

Liberal Constitutional Democrats (Kadets) and monarchists from the Provisional Government era were branded as irredeemable reactionaries. Kadet figures were subject to arrest decrees labeling them instigators of civil war, with many hunted down or forced underground as "former people"—a derogatory term for obsolete pre-revolutionary elites.

Sounds like an islamist fascist approach:

The Bolsheviks' militant atheism framed religious institutions as ideological threats to proletarian consciousness, leading to targeted repression under the Red Terror. The Russian Orthodox Church, intertwined with Tsarist legacy, was prioritized for dismantling; clergy were labeled counter-revolutionaries and subjected to Cheka arrests, show trials, and summary executions. Between 1917 and 1922, over 1,200 priests and 28 bishops were killed, with churches looted, bells melted for artillery, and sacred sites converted into warehouses or anti-religious museums.[51] This aligned with Lenin's 1918 directives to eradicate religious influence as "spiritual booze," preempting organized resistance in rural areas.[52]

Can an Islamic state hold out though:

Muslim communities in Central Asia and the Volga region encountered parallel assaults, as Bolshevik centralization clashed with Islamic structures supporting local autonomy. During 1918–1920 suppressions of revolts, Cheka units executed mullahs and seized mosques, conflating religious leaders with basmachi insurgents opposing Soviet rule.[53] In Turkestan, these actions disrupted traditional sharia courts and madrasas, framing Islam as a veil for counter-revolutionary feudalism. Jewish religious groups in Ukraine and Belarus faced synagogue closures and rabbi arrests if tied to Zionist or Bundist networks deemed separatist, though ethnic rather than purely religious targeting was inconsistent due to Jewish overrepresentation in Cheka ranks

And we still have China today, which I hear many applauding:

Beyond the USSR, the Red Terror's model of revolutionary violence as a tool for consolidating power influenced global communist movements, notably Mao Zedong's land reform campaigns (1949–1953) and the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), where similar tactics of mass mobilization, purges, and executions targeted "class enemies" and resulted in tens of millions of deaths.[89] This Leninist template contributed to the broader pattern of repression across 20th-century communist regimes, with The Black Book of Communism estimating approximately 94 million victims from executions, famines, and labor camps worldwide.[90]
