No kidding. That's the point I try to make to the 'it can't happen here' and/or the 'we'll vote them out in [whenever]' crowd. They don't understand the history of the last 150 years or so, They don't udnerstand the the pedigree of the ideas that animate the current occupiers of theWhite House. And they haven't read any of the books, white papers, essays, interviews - what have you - of the monsters who speak so blithely and OPENLY of eliminating indivdual rights, 'reducing the population' by employing monstrous means and who regard us as so much cattle to be managed and harvested.
No, they don't get it and they won't until they're looking at the world through chain link and barbed wire. Whisting past the graveyard of our Repbulic is just going to get mmost of them dead.
I’d guess most normal people have never really run into a genuine, hard-core leftist revolutionary, or perhaps couldn’t believe that he or she was serious. That’d be the only reason anyone could think Che Guevara was romantic. When Ayers said he’d “eliminate” 25 million people, he wasn’t kidding, and his pedigree runs back to Stalin: “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.”
"The notion that persons should be safe from extermination as long as they do not commit willful murder, or levy war against the Crown, or kidnap, or throw vitriol, is not only to limit social responsibility unnecessarily, and to privilege the large range of intolerable misconduct that lies outside them, but to divert attention from the essential justification for extermination, which is always incorrigible social incompatibility and nothing else." Gorge Bernard Shaw, "On the Rocks" (1933), Preface.
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble
