During the 1917 Russian Revolution there was a struggle between two socialist camps, Lenin’s Bolsheviks and the more moderate Mensheviks. The radical and ruthless Bolsheviks won.
The old, liberal ‘Times’ folks are the Mensheviks. The younger, woke folks are the Bolsheviks. I suspect that the Bolsheviks will win this fight, too.
Bolsheviks as a smaller group sat back and let the Mensheviks war with each other and then stepped and killed them or simply took over. I see the same similarities in today’s USA life.
“During the 1917 Russian Revolution there was a struggle between two socialist camps, Lenin’s Bolsheviks and the more moderate Mensheviks. The radical and ruthless Bolsheviks won.”
Then the Mensheviks emigrated to the United States in the 20’s and brought us Red Diaper babies.
When it comes to actual fighting, moderates never win anything. They’re still trying to decide what to do when the radicals are already kicking in their doors.
