And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Dictators throughout much of history have disarmed their populations before they began their mass killings. Examples abound beyond Mao: Hitler took guns from the Jews in November of 1938, and Kristallnacht and the Holocaust followed; and then there was Fidel Castro in Cuba and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, to name but a few. Cuba and Gun Control Everybody ought to have a gun, Castro maintained—until he took over Cuba in 1959.

Commie thugs also believe in 'protests' and free speech - up until they take power - then they shut down all free speech.

Brandon is not the original author of evil.
But he is a plagiarist.

The British tried to confiscate guns, but that didn’t work out too well.

Ike was shocked to learn that Castro was a commie after all we trained and supplied his invasion force.

***We didn't love freedom enough ... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward ***

So well put - and too descriptive of a fat prosperous people. 🤔

Nice find!

What’s interesting is that the american communists who now rule us prefaced their all-out confiscation attempt with the clever strategy of arming the non-law-enforcement bureaucracy throughout the government first...

I do not think that even Mao, Stalin, and Castro did this...
The Kenyan usurper created and implemented the strategy...
Our current communist masters have expanded it further...
