#1 "Not an Accident"

Of course it isn't. It's all part of the Deep State and Biden crime family plan.

#2 particular hostility towards the Constitution

That's because it was written by 13 independent states who banded together in an agreement to allow a central government to have only the enumerated powers to allow for conduct among themselves and in their overall interests. The Left only wants centralization and concentration of power of which that Constitution restricts.

#3 I have to wonder if there is anybody legitimately remaining who is so profoundly stupid they cannot recognize socialism as the modern incarnation of feudalism.

Ravage the middle class with taxation and regulation. Create a majority underclass of semi literate dependents all while reserving the spaces at the top for only the 'best' people. 'Best' of course defined in much the same way they define democracy.

Whether it's the slimy Walter Duranty or Hugo Chavez's multi billionaire talentless daughter or everybody's favorite agrarian reformer, Mao living large in the Summer Palace, how many examples do the genuinely stupid require?

The people? They can live on their own toe nail clippings for what the average Leftist cares. Villas, ranches, yachts, and of course private jets are RESERVED.

#4 They WANT a socialist feudalism Cesar and they despise capitalism. That way they can be at the top and lord over everyone and feel good about themselves.

They also are terrified of capitalism because they will have to produce and do something. And they have no skills or brains to do so.

#5 We are on the same side, Darth and I agree completely. That said feudalism in either form only works for a select few at the top.

What I don't understand is the herd of acolytes so anxious to fore swear any hope of a more abundant life. It's not bad education there's too much information available.

It's not an experiment. You don't need to speculate or wonder what happens when a self appointed 'elite' put their expert lap dogs into action. After all, don't you have to Lysenko the situation to find out what happens?

Even mob guys and associates aspire to a an improved future. What does a socialist hope for in this world? We know what the top tier thinks, what about the pathetic, hagged out cheerleaders.

#6 The left has been gnawing away at our cultural institutions as well as our means of production for a long time. Unless those institutions and means of production are re-established, we will become weakened and poorand subject to the dictates of others. We will become subjects or serfs instead of a free people At the same time, we must not lose our moral base. So yeah Cotton is right in that the left has managed our decline by design.
