If liberals want to die for their socialism...so be it!

No, no. They do not want to DIE for socialism. They want to KILL for it.

Socialism's great weakness in the long run is that very few are willing to die for it.

But, in the short run, the fact that they have many, many foot soldiers willing to kill for it does present some problems.

Socialism's great weakness in the long run is that very few are willing to die for it.

That's one of its great weaknesses, but another is the pervasive nepotism that puts incompetent boobs in positions of authority at every level of socialist governments.

This leads inevitably to a multi-track society, with a small number of people with real skill who take care of and pamper the elites, and a large number of total screw-ups who make the majority of the population wish they were dead.

Sooner or later the screw-ups do something really bad, and then you get a Chernobyl.

"But, in the short run, the fact that they have many, many foot soldiers willing to kill for it does present some problems."

These are foot soldiers who have no tactical training, get PTSD the first time they actually shoot a "gun", expect a civil war to have rules, and are not really believing that, after spending 60 years broadcasting non-stop hatred, our intent is to remove them from the gene pool, down to the last remnant.

4th Generation warfare dictates that to eliminate a belief, you must liquidate the people who believe. We have a list of Believers. Registered democrats. Fill up ditches with registered democrats. Problem solved. War over.

It's a little short on the "Glory of War" meme, but it will be a functional solution, with long term benefits.
