        Only the fringe lunatics think it’s even possible to disarm a population. Far lefties like myself realize the power that small arms represent in the fight against fascism. Marx said to arm up.

          Marx also assumed that revolution eventually leads to a communist utopia.

          Thus far they have only led to authoritarian regimes. Even Cuba is little more than a benevolent dictatorship.

          Weapons are a good way to combat other weapons, not ideology.

      Dunno why 1848, but those students on the streets of Vienna whom “dear father field marshal” Radetzky hanged on many lanterns were not leftist. They were pretty republican-nationalist, right liberal that is.

          I don’t get your thought process. The original incidents were Soviet interventions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

            sorry when I hear about a name from that language family I I st assume. I ignore most soviet history and as much american history as I can because its stupid and can be summarized ‘and then they figured out how to make even worse decisions! hooray!’
