Now, you may not be directly advocating for communism as you say. However, I do believe that communism or a more communist like system is the end result that you'd prefer to see representing you and your interests and serving the interests of blues in general. Yes, I view you and David as communist sympathizers/believers. However, I happen to view PB as more of a useful idiot or political pawn at this point. BTW, I think the American Right could win an American war with the Left without having to count on foreign help these days. I mean, we'd have an American government in place and an American system in place and an economic system in place and an American army in place and a large population of Americans who would be willing to support them.
You are free to believe in the tooth fairy, if you wish, but belief doesn't make it so. The grinding, abusive and totally corrupt economic system of today is Capitalism, and even the capitalists understand that. Here is a perfect example ripped directly from today's headlines. More to the point, Capitalists have mastered the brainwashing techniques to make everyone not-them into automatons, as described here. Please tell me you are opposed to the insanity economy that's rapidly building right under your nose, because people like you are next to the trash heap.
And fwiw, if the war you describe actually happens, it will not be between the left and right. It will be between the haves and have-nots. Just so you know, you're closer to the second group than the first.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
