I couldn't help but see the parallels between 19th century whites and 21st century Democrats.

In the process of appropriating land, occasional injustices were committed by white settlers against Indians. These injustices, however, arose only in those isolated cases in which individual Indians could claim legitimate rights of private ownership which the white settlers violated, such as having established a farm which white settlers appropriated. There was no injustice present in the settlers disregarding the claims of the Indian tribes to political sovereignty over territory, nor in the disregarding the collectivist claims of the tribes to economic ownership. The claims to land ownership of the Indians were arbitrary and were made by barbaric governments of savages. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed that governments were instituted among men to preserve their natural rights and when they became destructive of those ends, they deserved to be overthrown.

The Rats, because of their hatred of the rich and love of socialism are violating the natural rights of the rich with confiscatory taxation and nationalization. And this is not deserved and is not justified by the Declaration of Independence.

'were arbitrary and were made by barbaric governments of savages.'

Everything comes in cycles. In 25 years the barbaric governments will be in charge again.
