You are not wrong about this.  Marxism was all the rage among the Boomers back in the seventies during Moonbeam's first two terms before they started getting religion in the eighties.  Might be fun to watch Californians have to eat rats like the Venezuelans do now.

It would but after they leave the Union and before the inevitable collapse, because I'm fairly certain they don't have a single politician who has the mass murderous inclinations of Mao or Stalin, we'd have to be sure to wall them off and revoke their passports.

That said I give CA about a week before they have rolling blackouts again after a Calexit.  What I think people like Alphabet don't realize is the veneer of civilization is only millimeters thick.  Prolonged absence of power, and food shortages would lead to riots and chaos and lastly famine.

I won't mention Eric the Obtuse here, I kind of don't expect him to get it.  His contact with reality is sporatic at the best of times.  I think he smoked too much LDS or whatever in the 60s.
