Socialist Scholars Conference

If they were truly intelligent people, they wouldn't be Socialists. Socialism always fails.
"By their fruits ye will know them."

This is more like a "Socialist Useful Idiots Conference."

Historically, the collectivists have always been at each others' throats. The French Revolution is mostly a tale of collectivists fighting and killing other collectivists. Years later, we see that Marx was also always fighting with other collectivists.

Once Lenin seized power in Russia, there seemed to be a dominant colectivist ideology -- but not right away. The Left in Germany still fought amongst themselves for a few decades, until the National Socialist German Workers Party achieved dominance.

But then the German collectivists attacked the Russian collectivists. It was only after 1945, when the Soviet collectivists were the only real game in town that the Left seemed unified and ascendant. But that period is obviously over. The collectivists are once again fighting like junkyard dogs.

It is as it should be.

We can only hope this collapse is a model the democrats will soon be following.

This is a point about these ultra-left wingers that I never understood; they obsess and disagree violently over trivial items of dogma. Of course, it is a weakness that we should exploit but seldom do. The lefties use and appreciate language far better than we. They spin things, assigned simple and loaded labels to cover complex issues and often mislabel things. We do win a few now and then. Switching "death tax" for "estate tax" is such an example.

But, here the splinter group is just as anti-America as the whole; they just feel some trivial detail is important.
