Yes, we should try to avoid the Judge Dredd Futzie Syndrome which has infected the “progressives” going back to Plato’s Republic and the Long Walls of Athens.
I want to Establish World Peece, Free all the Umptie Candeees, and KILL EVERYBODY!!
That’s how it always ends up with a “socialist” revolution.
Every. Single. Time.
Seen in that light, I’ve always been struck by just what a “black swan” event the American Revolution really was.
It was possibly the one Revolution in history that did not degenerate into a “Kill Everybody and Scream Incoherently” abattoir.
If our post-modern progressives have their way, that is exactly what their “Radiant Future” will be.
Because as Callahan said of Scorpio, they’ll do it because they like it.
The genius of the Founding Fathers was that they preferred leaders such as John Adams to his brother Sam Adams.
Both were Patriots, but one was a servant leader of the first magnitude and the other a world class rabble rouser.
Or as King George said of George Washington at the end of his second term: “If he turns down being crowned King, he is the greatest man who ever lived.”
Agree with you completely EON…….HOWEVER…..I think setting up a guillotine either on the National Mall or at the top of the stairs to the SCOTUS and publicly executing a few of the gutless, scum-sucking, soulless P’sOS who pushed all the hate and divisiveness that ultimately resulted in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, might not be such a bad idea!!!!!!!
