What you never learned has left you adrift in a political tide you don’t understand. And you know to whom that is addressed.
1.Mark Twain may have been correct about history…’ History Doesn't Repeat, But It Often Rhymes…but sometimes reality overpowers that witticism. We are living in a period where two monumental events clashed, and appear to be doing the same once again.
2. Two diametrically different revolutions, the American and the French, appear to have been historical laboratories of experimentation on the issue of democracy. They were based on very different supposition about governance and on human nature and about religion.
“If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century.
In fact, Rousseau has been called the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the "people's democracies." French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror
The views embodied in the French Revolution reappeared in the Russian Revolution, and every political endeavor that stemmed from the Bolsheviks……and most strangely….have re-appeared in the ascendancy of the Democrat Party right here in America.
3. Lest any imagine that the re-appearance of elements of the French Revolution is a good thing, here is the CliffNotes version of our point in time:
The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives
a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
“free markets, free voices, free people”
Fascists, Nazis, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists, Jacobins, and Democrats
b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).
The Democrats check every one of those boxes.
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.
They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Whether personal beliefs, or what we call 'politics,' or perhaps 'religion,' the real idea that determines what we will do in any and every situation, is one simple idea. Either one believes that human lives are sacred, or one believes that they can be exchanged to achieve some secular material goal.
If you voted for Biden, you have chosen your revolution....the French one, the one that produced a slaughterhouse of a nation.
And, it was a poor choice indeed.
