I display my comfort with my own imperfections here with the use of my lack luster writing/grammar skills. Like I've said, I don't have a hard time reading or understanding what's being communicated or fail to get the gist of the direction the Left-wing wants America to go either and neither should you since you write so much better and spend your time reading way more books than me. Like I said, when the culture clash between America and the Left-wing begins, you are going to find yourself on the wrong side of American history and the wrong side of the history of the world as well. You better wise up and start using that mind of yours for something other than just the good of yourself.

Your compositional skills are the least of the problem. If you are discussing such types as the old Weather Underground... those are now irrelevant. We are now in a Crisis mode, and extremists of all kinds tend to either take over or get shown the door. 

Nitpick:  It is the progressives in the US that take over, the conservatives that are shown the door.  No, progressives are not defined as the winners, but by such virtues as democracy, human rights and equality.

Such has a track record of making losers out of nations.  You have the straw man fallacy in which you define the Other Side on its supposed behalf and then tear it down. It's like saying that gay rights is all about molesting children, that conservatives would restore slavery if they had the chance, that liberals really want central planning, that Christianity is all "holy roller" stuff, that Jews are a conspiracy intent on exploiting and degrading gentiles, that Islam is all about terrorism. 

Nitpick:  The nations that did a Marxist revolution were already losers.  You have to be pretty desperate to trade one set of autocrats for another.  Russia, China and Cuba of their respective revolutionary eras count as desperate.  The trick is having enough checks and balances to force the government to work for the people rather than themselves.  Overthrowing a government that has already proven itself good at the overthrowing government game is difficult.
