• I’m an angry leftist, but I ain’t no tankie. I’m pissed cause I’m middle aged, and have been dealing with over a century of outright lies from the rich.

      I’m a pragmatic leftist. I know that being angry and demanding the murder of all rich people and government officials isn’t going to happen. We need to get organized like the christofascists are and use the system. Until we do the christofascists will continue to rise.

        The only reason I fear revolution is because I fear if my side wins, we’ll govern peacetime as we would during war.

        Really becomes hard to judge who your allies are when things get ugly, and there are way too many covert narcissists that know how to game their way to control.

          There won’t be a revolution in Canada. If the tankies try there are only two possible outcomes. The tankies ends up in prison or the tankies end up dead. Your taking about using a few Gravy Seals with military style guns against a national armed forces and police that number in the hundreds of thousands with real military weapons, APCs, tanks, planes, etc. A bunch of military fetishist with murder fantasies don’t stand a chance. It’s all fun and games until a bullet rips through one of your comrades chests and it becomes obvious that they’re shooting white people.

          Just ask Ashley Babbit and the idiots that were around her when she died. The attack on the Senate wasn’t as fun after that happened.
