   Well, there WILL be - technically.

   Whether it will be anything LIKE the
   originally envisioned/realized USA
   is another question. MANY are keen
   on the Pol Pot Challenge ...

   We DID see a lot of this in the 1960s,
   exact same neo-Marxist slogans/rhetoric,
   but there WAS that "silent majority" of
   moderate Regular Joes/Janes then. No more.

   Insanity rules now. The most absurd rhetoric
   is widely believed as True.

   NOT good !

   Hmmmm ... one New York candidate, media darling,
   wants to eliminate ALL cops/courts/jails etc.
   The Crowd just LOVES her !

   In "A Clockwork Orange" the govt could not control
   the thugs. So, it HIRED them to be the new police
   and such. Very very bad - and it seems like what
   is being pushed NOW. Gangster Rule.

   The thugs are viewed as the new Red Guard - the
   brutal enforcers. The 'elite' decide, the thugs
   CRUSH all opponents.

   The NAZIs did this, as did Stalin and Mao and
   Pol Pot. Empower the evil nobodies and they
   WILL be your most loyal and fanatical adherents.
   Body-count unlimited.

   Did equal/fair/ethical/democratic disappear THIS
   fuckin' fast ? Maybe so. Back to overlords and
   conquerors and fanatics .........

   I'm too old to live in some mountain bunker
   anymore - and TOO much of the world has gone
   more or less commie. Alas both Russia and
   China have DUMPED 'communism' - didn't work
   fer shit.

   So what, Namibia ? Do they have 'golden visas' ?
   FAR off-grid though ... nobody anywhere gives
   a shit ......
