But it was a great Englishman, G. K. Chesterton, who put his finger on the basic reasoning behind all the continued and determined efforts of the Communists to convert our republic into a democracy. “You can never have a revolution,” he said, “in order to establish a democracy.

As with much of the War on a Noun Series, we seem to have things back to front, top to bottom, upside down as usual.
It's like the War on Drugs which operates on the popular misconception that Demand drives the Supply of drugs when, in fact, the opposite is true.
Or the War on Poverty that sought to eradicate the poor and Unwanted by plying them with contraception and legal abortion.
