[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

You answered your own question.

The original communists used extreme violence.

That failed.

Their replacements, under a dozen guises (Fabians, Progressives, Socialists, etc.) decided “to evolve” the people through indoctrination to make the people ask for Statism.

Well, that is working to a great extent.

But totalitarians despise those that they control, regardless of the touchy-feely BS they use to indoctrinate.

And, in their heart, they want to execute violence on the people to punish them for making them work so hard to gain absolute power. And they want the people to live in abject terror of the State.

If the coming economic collapse results in violence on the street, look for the government to use extreme militaristic power to quell those “uprisings.”

“To save the republic,” you know. Because Obammie the Commie is really the new Abe Lincoln.

If the coming economic collapse results in violence on the street secession, look for the government to use extreme militaristic power to quell those “uprisings states, and for FedGov™ to get their a$$e$ handed to them.”

There, fixed it.

So I wasn’t the only one who found it chilling when he tried to claim that mantle...
