All politics are local. Fight back in every small way you can. These communists must be put back into their place.
So observed Tip O'Neill. So in a different way observed Elinor Ostrom, Nobel Prize in 2009 for Economics. "Local" is where decisions should be made. And where consequences for poor decisions be felt.
As to the Communists (by whom I mean all big-government ideologies from the Nazis to Khmer Rouge and many more), they will lose over time. Their house is built on shifting sands, as the phrase tells a truth. Take heart.
