The American Left has been very clear, public, and vocal on this point since at least the mid-1960s. Read what they themselves have said. Yes, they WANT a civil war. They imagine that once they hoist the red banner and declare the Revolution the proletariat will flock to their side by the millions and their victory will be quick, easy, and complete. Then they’ll be able to get on with the important business of creating their perfect Marxist socialist utopia.
As for anyone who *doesn’t* agree them? Well, they’re obviously counterrevolutionaries, and while it might be possible to save a few with rigorous struggle sessions, really, it will be easier just to kill them. What was Bill Ayers’ number? Killing 25 million Americans to achieve the goals of the Revolution was acceptable?
The “American” Left’s goals have been out in the open for at least 55 years. They are *proud* of what they intend to do to the rest of us and eager to get the chance to do it. TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!
