Here's a true story...in my old neighborhood in Chicago, we had a Communist newspaper agency called Vilnus. It opened in the neighborhood to sell newspapers to the Lithuanian immigrants who fled communism/socialism/marxism in Europe since 1900...the paper contained stories of the folks at home that the communists thought the immigrants would find valuable, and as a connection to the friends and relatives left behind and trapped by the left. Well, the rest of the new immigrants, including the Lithuanians in my neighborhood, Irish, Polish, Italians, Croatians, took care of this communist/socialist infestation of a newspaper by burning down the building and putting them out of business.
Moral of the story, you don't knock down your enemy, you destroy them, like you would cockroaches...you kill em’ dead.
