“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

I would suggest the vast majority of Democrats are more like Mensheviks. That is, “weakling” socialists who live more in a fantasyland, while the radical Democrats (Bolsheviks) are much more like an Americanized Red Khmer, willing to hurt and kill tens of millions of people to get what they want.

If Pravda can clearly see what’s going on here, this just indicts the MSM as fellow travelers in the machinations of those who seek to bind us ever tighter to the government.

Unfortunately, declaring us ‘enemy of the State’ won’t be too far off.

And snitching is patriotic.
