Shades of the Nazi practice of using civilians and children to patrol the populace. It IS happening now and here. The revolution is boiling just below the surface while our freedoms are being burned away by the Socialist/Marxist/Communist loving politicians and this administration.
Scratch any socialist and you will find a fascist. To enforce socialism, you need government spies in every facet of life. To achieve the socialist ideal you have to put a wall around the country, nobody gets in, nobody gets out.
Have a conversation with a socialist, this is exactly where the conversation goes. It has to or socialism fails.
