When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

I’ll have to read the rest later, but from what I read, this is some scary shiite.
The commies will be ok with their idea of a police force...and military. I don’t trust any level of government.
And yet, during the early hours of Nov. 4, 2020, the left’s long march was on the verge of being defeated by a majority of Americans.
PING!
Nothing in this article that hasn’t been diagnosed, displayed, and discussed here on FreeRepublic over the past 23-years...
Excellent review, but inadequate solutions...
We don’t need no stinking reviews anymore...
We need action similar to the strategic (island hopping) actions our former Nation took to take the Pacific back from the japs one blood-bath at a time...
IMHO...
When all the waters are polluted, it is time to drain the swamp. Either that, or abandon it. Abandon the corrupt, crime ridden cities. Secede from the totalitarian central state. End this idiocy, before it becomes endless misery.
From the article: “Does anyone think the founding generation would have allowed the imprisonment without trial of unarmed protestors (if admittedly stupid, overzealous, and still condemnable) who were redressing grievances to their government?”
Between 1793 and 1812, the British Royal Navy used impressment to kidnap nearly 20,000 US sailors to serve on the British war vessels during the Napoleonic War. So yeah, Americans put up with a lot of crap before acting.
The police may not have, but the military has.
The plan for the police is to drive them off the force, into retirement or another line of work.. Some will be replaced by “safety officials,” “conflict resolution specialists” or some such drivel, while reforming and retaining a corps of Gestapo-like thugs to enforce the diktats of the state..
As for the military, it has already had its leadership gutted by Obama purges. Rank and file even now are being vetted and patriots culled, replaced by a motley collection of maladjusted women, acquiescent misfits and gender anomalies. Promotions for officers will be contingent upon showing the correct political attitudes.
Relevant that under Hitler, the military was the last institution to yield to the Nazi regime, but then as Hitler won victory after victory from the feckless “western democracies,” the generals went with the winner. When the current careerists decide it’s not worth risking their futures, they will fall silently in line.
