"Consider how well that sentence describes the United States of today with its hordes of bureaucrats dictating virtually all aspects of our daily lives."

I'm not sure whether this has resulted from "government's natural tendency to grow at the expense of liberty," or actual efforts by the Left, or both, but clearly the results are the same.

When government begins "granting" rights (entitlements), the people begin thinking that socialism is an American tradition. And then they accept that government, since it is responsible for them, should naturally regulate them.

Did I read somewhere that Hillary is a follower of Gramsci?

Stalin started a systematic elimination of his enemies, whether those enemies were real or simply perceived so in Stalin’s imagination.

Hillary may very well have been a follower of Gramsci. However, her views appear to have a few things in common with Stalin (see above).

I don't know about Gramsci, but Hillary did say that her favorite book was Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World".

NEVER take your eyes off that witch!
