Like I always say, the LEFT does not care if the country is a pile of rubble as long as they are in control.
I think I would take it a step further. The LEFT wants the country to be a pile of rubble.
Yes, they would also like to be in control of the rubble. But that is not essential. As long as there is rubble, and western civilization and personal freedom is destroyed, the Left consider that acceptable. The control is merely a nice-to-have cherry on top.
