Given that I studied Robert Conquest and read Solzhenitsyn years before it was cool, I do recognize the potential malice of leftwing tyrannies. I am familiar with the policies and dogmas of Dzhugashvili, Bronshtein and Ulyanov (odd how so many politician use aliases). I also recognize the comparable emptiness in eugenics and control obsessed statists in what is called (but is not) the ‘right’, and will not support the SturmAbteilung because of fear of Spartacists. To hell with them both.
Should your dark fantasies come to pass, don’t look for me in some Auschwitz. Look for me in some Warsaw Ghetto. I wholly subscribe to Patton’s formula that patriotism is making the other son of a bitch die for his country. It might please you to contemplate the liquidation of people like me, but I am going to have to disappoint you.
I will be shoulder-to-shoulder with you.
It might please you to contemplate the liquidation of people like me,
Not in the slightest.
but I am going to have to disappoint you.
To the contrary, you have at least partially redeemed yourself in my mind.
