The irony and parallels to CWI are eerie. The communists now are acting like the Confederates by pushing for a twisted racial segregation and other similarities. The Rats are the ones that want to basically secede from a Union that wants to be unified in liberty. I pray that the outcome is the same with reason and justice overcomes anarchy. I still admire the Confederate passion and historic effort to support their cause because in the end we’re all Americans except the Marxist insurrection.
