Plutocratic Socialism and War on the Middle Class
American Conservative ^ | 9/9/2022 | Mark T. Mitchell

It is becoming increasingly obvious something is amiss. One might be tempted to recall the words of a nineteenth-century revolutionary: “A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism.” But the bloody history of the last century has demonstrated beyond question that Marx was no prophet.

However, a specter is, indeed, haunting not just Europe but the entire world, and ground zero for this strange new spirit is the United States, a land where communism never gained a foothold.

‘the central rule of anarcho-tyranny, the system of government under which we now live, is that if you can’t or won’t punish the guilty,criminalize the innocent and punish them. -Sam Francis 1992
Currently, the .gov is branding the enemy (us) and implementing a ‘conquer and hold’ tactic.

I assume that the Francis you quote is the NR FRANCIS.

Yes, MAGAs are the target. But, barring the few rads, they are not violent, but rather united and cohesive. There is power there we can hope.

Agree. But not one in a hundred freepers will bother.

Pity. We are awash in information yet suffer a horrid wisdom deficit.
