Communism is not in my future. I know that much.
“In the end, you shall lose everything you hold of value in this world, your wealth, your possessions, your freedoms, your friends, your family, your youth, even your life itself. But before you surrender them, make those who try to take them from you pay an extreme price for every little scrap they grasp for.”
Why does someone want power or control over you?
Because they are mentally ill sadists who derive pleasure from torturing you?
Because they think they know what’s best for you, but they don’t want to expend the energy explaining things to you?
They want to control you because there is a benefit to them by controlling you.
Unfortunately, what history has taught us is that history teaches us nothing.
