Massive scale killings are always required as well.
Massive scale killings regarding a “perceived enemy”, not the worshippers themselves. I hope you are not assuming that Hitler gained control through fear and killings because you are mistaken. He was WORSHIPPED in Germany by the masses.
Right now it appears that the commie goal is to push people so far away from freedom that it leads to a revolution that they can blame on racism, thereby blaming those who are killed in the process.
Commie process...after nationalization (socialization of everything) comes the fight and after the fight comes the "normalization" or a police state.
We already have the nationalization down by about 90%. The only thing left is health care.
How much time do you think we have?
