Old school dems thought these perky socialists were cute and would be great mascots.. until they discovered that they weren’t cute and were actually rabid attack dogs that will rip them to pieces to get through to the throat of democracy. LIke Che and Stalin, they would often have their former political ‘partners’ kneel in a dark alley while they joyfully capped them in the back of the head....
Excellent analogy my FRiend.
