Today's liberals don't have the conviction of the liberals of the 60s and 70s. Compare Chaz to Jonestown for an illustration of the difference.

In the 1970s, hippie leftards went all in and formed their own country. They had the support of celebrities like Jane Fonda and politicians like Walter Mondale and much of leftist America. They actually tried to walk the walk. Sure, it turned out to be a complete disaster like every other attempt at a collectivist utopia governed by mob rule. Sure, it resulted in a complete loss of freedom for its members, with torture and mass rapes of both men and women and eventually the death of almost everyone involved. The point is, however, they actually tried to make a go of it.

Contrast this with Chaz. They form a little community in a nice neighborhood, complete with all the amenities of modern technology, have food and supplies brought to them, and do all of this knowing they can simply leave anytime they get tired of playing their little game. It's like little kids playing in a tree house. They have nothing at stake. They are taking no risk, putting in no work, and the entire thing is completely phony.

It would be good if the filthy Communist scum all did a Jonestown with the same type of Kool Aid.

I don't see CHAZ as an apt comparison. This is a political demonstration. A better comparison would be Waco.

The decline of the Democrat party started in the late 1960's when they screw over a decent man in Hubert Humphrey, who should have beaten Nixon in 1968. Then they decline some more when they went with a Socialist Senator from South Dakota, who gets smashed in the 1972 election. Then they declines some more when they fell for a 600 promise peanut, anti-Semite Farmer, who was an ineffectual leader.

What we did in the 60's and 70's is totally different than what is being done today.

Jim Jones said to his sheep as they were being given the Kool-Aid, "Stop these hysterics. This is not the way for people who are socialists or communists to die. No way for us to die."

Jonestown was a political act. They left the capitalist establishment and formed their own communist utopia.

Well all that may very well be, but it pays good.
