“To the Bolsheviks, the enemy wasn’t capitalism, it was the Mensheviks.”
And once the Mensheviks were taken out they turned on their fellow Bolshies, as Leon Trotsky could attest to.
If he hadn’t been beaten to death.
Seems Mexico City wasn’t far enough away after all.
There was a “Babylon 5” episode where a theocratic race had created technology to enforce the religious purity of their people. The technology wiped out every last member of the species, because in the opinion of the technology, nobody was pure enough.
This is the Left today. Notice how the various special interest groups attack each other. Lesbians hate trans-women. The black Left doesn’t get along with the Hispanic Left. They remind me of that Babylon 5 episode. When the Left was under the firm control of the Clinton centrists, it was a disciplined machine that consistently won elections. Now, I expect the most challenges to Democrats will be other Democrats. The primaries in California are an example of what is to come.
