Communism is slavery and communism is theft. Communism is a crime against humanity. That is why democRATs don’t care about crime. They only care about their own power over others.
One tyranny simply replaces another, and the new form is almost certain to be even more ruthless that the one it replaced.
Without ruthless application of force, no tyranny would survive very long. The difference is how much of that police power of the designated authority is chosen to come down on its people with. Too little, and people revolt and throw the rascals out, to be replaced by another set of rascals, who may or may not be somewhat more enlightened. Too much and the entire economic structure degenerates into a command-and-control regime.
But sometimes, some enlightened leaders do emerge, and a new Golden Age of prosperity and peace is realized. But people being people, a stirring of “This is too good to be true” emerges, and they begin to INVENT adversity, believing this is the normal state of humanity.
Who knows, perhaps we do not deserve better.
