Even then, I don’t think a lot of people will rebel. There’ a percentage who will say “sacrifice for the greater good”, and actually believe that garbage. People won’t rebel until they see their loved ones being taken away in the night. But a smart socialist/communist never lets it get that far. Even V. Lenin lightened up on the Communist rules when food shortages started.
Speaking of Vladimir - the U.S. celebrated his birthday on Sunday. The first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, was a celebration of his 100th. Isn’t it great to know Earth Day is really all about dear ole Vlad? And there we all thought it was just a celebration dedicated to recycling!
