Today is September the 6th.
1. On this date, in 1901, a terrorist shot President William McKinley as he prepared to give a speech in Buffalo during the Pan-American Exposition; he died a few days later.
Leon Czolgosz, an itinerant laborer, confessed that he believed that it was “his duty” as an irregular member of an international network of anarchists, devoted to the destruction of the emerging global industrial order.
What better time to remind all that at the center of every iteration of Liberalism, we find violence.
For the Leftist, when lies fail to gain his objectives, he is perfectly content to resort to violence.
After all....socialism, Marxism, modern Liberalism....all are birthed in violence, steeped in violence, and not merely the head-breaking variety of unionism....but the sort that doesn't hesitate to kill.
Millions.
2. The French Revolution, progenitor of Liberalism, under Robespierre interpreted violence as the ‘language’ that explained to the masses the ideals of the revolution. “If the spring of popular government in times of peace is virtue, the springs of popular government in revolution are at once virtue and terror….Terror is nothing other than justice.”
Robespierre speech, February 5, 1794.
a. “For the first time in history terror became an official government policy, with the stated aim to use violence in order to achieve a higher political goal. Unlike the later meaning of 'terrorists' as people who use violence against a government, the terrorists of the French Revolution were the government. The Terror was legal, having been voted for by the Convention.”

b. Georges Sorel and every other advocate of the left, learned and understood this message.
c. Bolsheviks claimed descent: “Historians of the French Revolution, which the Russians saw as a model for their own…”
Bolshevik Festivals 1917 1920
3.' Although attributed to Rousseau, it was Diderot who gave the model for totalitarianism of reason:
“We must reason about all things,” and anyone who ‘refuses to seek out the truth’ thereby renounces his human nature and “should be treated by the rest of his species as a wild beast.” So, once ‘truth’ is determined, anyone who doesn’t accept it was “either insane or wicked and morally evil.” It is not the individual who has the “right to decide about the nature of right and wrong,” but only “the human race,” expressed as the general will.'
Himmelfarb, “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68
And to, for the modern Liberal, Republicans are not merely wrong...they are evil: they hate minorities, gays, children, etc., etc.
a. Robespierre used Rousseau’s call for a “reign of virtue,’ proclaiming the Republic of Virtue, his euphemism for The Terror. In ‘The Social Contract’ Rousseau advocated death for anyone who did not uphold the common values of the community: the totalitarian view of reshaping of humanity, echoed in communism, Nazism, progressivism. Robespierre: “the necessity of bringing about a complete regeneration and, if I may express myself so, of creating a new people.”

Anyone need me to provide a quote from Hillary Clinton proclaiming the same view?
