riri ~ Has it ever been done any other way?
Sadly, no. Even more sad is the simple fact that the very people who made the revolution possible are ALWAYS on the hit list.
They have proven that they:
• have a traitorous mindset.
• are willing to act to overthrow their own government.
• have the organizational skills needed for a successful revolution.
• have the military skills to wreak havoc.
Still, they are invariably surprised when it is their own back against the pockmarked wall, every single time, every single revolution, without exception.
They’re always surprised
for the same reason that every liberal you talk to
that you point out the inevitability of the policies that they espouse turning into a collectivist tyranny
will respond with “that’s not what we’re trying to do”
and “that won’t happen this time because we’re smarter”.
