You have to realize, it's not just our wealth and industriousness they need to support their socialism, but it's more of a control issue - they will NEVER allow you to escape their control, because they know better.
I realize that, but if ends up going to war they should know we have the upper hand. We carry guns, they don’t, and the military is more on our side than theirs and they will join us, not them. I think negotiations will help them realize we will win, and may be they will agree to step bakc and agree to seperation.
And I’m not talking just Texas. I’m talking about a full secession of the country.
From Viktor Sovorov’s book Inside the Soviet Army:
...”The Soviet Communist dictatorship, like any other system, seeks to preserve its own existence. To do this it is forced to stamp out any spark of dissidence which appears, either on its own territory or beyond its borders. A communist regime cannot feel secure so long as an example of another kind of life exists anywhere near it, with which its subjects can draw comparisons. It is for this reason that any form of Communism, not only the Soviet variety, is always at pains to shut itself off from the rest of the world, with a curatin, whether this is made of iron, bamboo, or some other material.
...”Marx was right: the two systems cannot co-exist. And no matter how peace-loving Communists may be, they come unfailingly to the conclusion that world revolution is inescapable. They must either annihilate capitalism or be put to death by their own people”
