They’re scared :lenin-laugh:

Also this is just a list of countries where the US killed indiscriminately to end socialism (not Cambodia)

“ Whereas the “Father of the Constitution”, President James Madison, wrote that it “is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest”; and

Whereas the United States of America was founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it resolved that Congress denounces socialism”

Lemme just cite a slaver on the violation of one class of citizens for the benefit of another

      I guess we're getting into semantics here vis a vis liars believing their own lies or not; I agree wholeheartedly that people can absolutely buy their own lies while trying to peddle them (and not necessarily just be idiots while doing so), but I just am extremely skeptical of the idea that figures like the ones I mentioned bought into their own lies. Maybe I do give some of them a bit too much credence.

      it's not quite the point I was trying to make though; I was more asserting that conservatives can be brilliant and dangerous in much the same vein as some libs, though the numbers seem to be declining (mercifully), apologies if it came off differently
