The famous German anti-fascist Marxist poet and writer of the “Threepenny Opera,” Bertold Brecht, satirically criticized the new East German government in 1953 thus:Yes.So if the people of the US decide one day they want to be Socialist or Communist, your government has a right to murder them?
“Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?”
But our own Tipsycatlover has “improved” on this:
The government should simply ... KILL THE PEOPLE
... and find another!
