Between then and now, the US went through a large values change known as the Civil Rights Movement.  By embracing the post Confederate racist values, I assume you are rejecting the Civil Rights Movement and the legislation that resulted from it?



I’ve said many a time that Marx correctly identified the problem, but had a very poor solution.  If you are a revolutionary but do not embrace the checks and balances of the Enlightenment, you are apt to end up with a violent idealist in charge, such as Lenin, Stalin or Mao.  They each failed spectacularly and resulted in the broad rejection of Marxism.  I again state that many among the blue accept this, that they reject autocracy, violence, revolution and the concentration of power in the elite.  

Just curious, you are an advocate of violence.  Do you reject the elite, the division of wealth, the concentration of power?

I see China’s Communist Party as living on borrowed time.  If the CCP provides their people with enough material benefit to stave off the Enlightenment virtues they crave, the CCP will remain in power.  They cannot do this forever, though they are not on the brink yet.  Using violence to reject the will of the people is not a path that one can walk with impunity indefinitely.

Yep. Like most, I will push back and even fight and become an advocate for violence and supporter of violence. I'm not a fan of war but I'm not anti-war either because wars are necessary at times. Do you have a problem with that?

I'm not a fan of the modern day liberal aristocracy aka the liberal elite or the liberal DNC aka liberal political elite or the liberal economic elites or the liberal system of advancement that based on liberal preference that your side clearly represents today. Tell me, if racism is as systematic as the liberals aka Marxists say then why do we see so many minorities at the top in change of running things these days. Hint, I'm not going along with the so called elite who are playing liberal politics right now. I don't know why liberal elites are destroying successful brands associated with successful black people who made it big on their own without Democratic support like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben but I assume maintaining political power based on a belief that blacks can't do anything themselves or survive without the Democrats. Like I've said, the Democrats these days are pretty much shitty, morally bankrupt/corrupt people that we don't care about losing or seeing strung up by angry mobs.
