“Once in, always in”, an early and American version of the Brezhnev Doctrine.

In both cases if you objected, the powerful central government was eager and willing to slaughter you to correct your misperception.

Probably not a coincidence that OG commie Karl Marx was an ardent supporter of the 1860 episode.

Hardly.

You really expected him to support a revolution meant in no small part to preserve slavery? Really?

Pelham: "Probably not a coincidence that OG commie Karl Marx was an ardent supporter of the 1860 episode."

Really, 1860?
You mean 1860, the year Deep South Fire Eaters successfully split apart their majority national Democrat party, thus guaranteeing election of a minority Republican candidate?
You think Marx supported Fire Eaters?

You mean 1860, the year Democrats first went berserk & declared their secession over election of the first Republican Donald Trump?
You think Marx supported berserker Democrats?

You mean 1860, the year Democrats first began threatening violence against Union officials and seizing Union property?
You think Marx supported Democrat violence against the United States?

I beg to disagree.
