well, me, for one.
that should strike terror into the minds of thousands. laughing.
post script: i am very mindful of the admonition, about being very careful what you wish for, as it may very well come true. the implication being, of course, that things may not turn out exactly as you wished. that being said, the following essay is how i see a "civil" "dust up" between americans breaking down, in demographic terms.
i see my fellow conservatives, "us," if you will, tea party types & the like, in a certain way, and i see the lefties, "them," in a certain way, in terms of demographics. and, i see the lefties as being the product of wealth and privilege, and the right as being the product of more difficult circumstances, economically, socially and of lack of privilege. "we" have had a little harder upbringing.
i think all of this has an influence on "the nature of the resultant beasties," if you will, with consequences directly applicable to the outcome of a fight. in short, in a street fight, i'll take the kid whose been in more scuffles over the course of his life, and is used to a busted nose now and again, and earned his muscles & sinews the hard way. end post script.
i am going to try to give the lefties of the world an idea of what they will be facing, an assessment of those forces who will be their adversaries. and, oddly enough, i am going to start by looking to the lefties, suggesting that perhaps they are their own worst enemies, their own most formidable opposition, should they want to get into a shooting, and stabbing, and blowing up, and kidnapping and extortion war with the rest of us.
now, you have to believe in the value of the goals you pursue to engage in nastiness such as i have alluded to: it won't do just to be mean & nasty, over the long haul you have to be tough. when a muslim terrorist hacks off someone's head, for instance, he devoutly believes he acts at the word and behest of allah, so he pursues his task, his skilled honed by years of taking the heads off sheep during slaughter. so, whatever aversion he may have towards such a disagreeable act, (if any he has), is made secondary by faith in what he does.
i mention this to point out to the left that it has no such faith in anything: for years it's made its living by debunking the faith of others, and teaching its own to believe in nothing. for years the leftist/marxist "criticism" of free market economies and democratic tolerance of speech and diversity has pointed out that none of this world is worth a warm bucket of spit, and that since none of it has any value, none of it is worth killing for, e.g., foreign wars are evil, and most certainly, that not one bit of it is worth dying for, e.g., make love not war. "nihilism," if you understand it, is the most selfish and self centered of the "belief" systems, and almost by necessity focuses inevitably on the one who holds to it. there are no "selfless" nihilists.
american leftists are if not exactly pacifists, certified and certifiable nonbelievers. they don't believe in football, they don't believe in grades, they don't believe in competitive gym or schoolyard activities, and they don't believe in the american dream. they don't believe in anything.
they don't believe in traditional male and female values, and they don't believe in traditional ideas of marriage, or old time institutions like church or religious observance.
they don't believe in serving in the military.
they don't believe in the goodness of community. they don't believe in morality, ethics or self discipline.
what they do espouse is a feminism that derides manly values and behaviour, and they endorse and proselytize for every form of sexual perversion known to man, and going back before the old and new testament for all i know. they believe in witches, warlocks, covens and werewolves, if popular fiction and movies are to be given any credence. i would not be too surprised if at the next democratic national convention a major wing of the democratic party advocates the worship of ba'al in state run churches, said worship to include throwing babies into burning cauldrons of oil to insure good harvests and bountiful crops in the hinterlands, wherever they may be.
what they end up believing in is pleasure, self indulgence, and license without traditional restraint. if you've a penis, for instance, put it anywhere, in anyone, and it is all "good", especially if the other is incapable of resistance.
in short, the left are self indulgent hedonists. when it comes to fighting, the left will want its minions to do the fighting, and, especially, they will want to pay others to do the dying. (keep this in mind, if you are one of the traditional "minion class" of the left, ... , this means you, labor unions, to the extent there are any of you left. you will be exhorted to fight by the ear ring crowd, but notice, you'll not find many of them with you.)
now, to the extent this is a fair assessment of those who are leftists, it does not suggest to my mind a group likely to be the source of hardened street fighters, assassins and destroyers of public utilities and agencies, and killers of those who "man" them. in my mind, it is hard to imagine too many lefties "manning" up for much of anything unpleasant, be it work or fighting a war.
now, the left does not have this "problem" to such an extent in europe, when it comes to finding a ready source of thugs for demonstrations and the like. in europe, they have long standing traditions of worthless males leftists attending college and graduate school until their early forties, waiting to replace some poor old professorial poop who dies at the lectern. having absolutely nothing to do, and i mean nothing except eat subsidized bean soup in university cafeterias, and growing beards, the left has a ready supply of thugs who will go out and beat on old people and the like, to advance the various causes for tolerance of this perversity and that immorality, such as are the currency of the day in their thought.
the same in japan, and to a lesser extent in some parts of asia.
but, in europe, the left suffers from the same dynamic as discussed above, when it comes to the bigger issues relevant to the preservation of the leftist state. oh, the left can get a crowd up to bash the american position in world politics. no problem. but, the left will not be seen to defend its own societies from muslim encroachment and/or attack, nor will it rise to the defense of the leftist state. it doesn't believe in the leftist state, ... , remember?, ... , except to accept its largess in the way of "social benefits," which it manipulates for distribution to its own.
as here, they are mostly parasites.
so, the biggest problem of the left, as i look at them, is where are they going to find anyone to fight for them. the afl-cio and the other big unions groups used to supply the left's thugs for them, but, not so much any more, since the elites have shipped all of the united states heavy manufacturing capacity to asia in search of cheaper labor for the corporations they control.
what industry we have left in this country is largely nonunion, and the old labor organizations are what they used to be.
that leaves the only source of thugs in the public employee unions, and in the various black leftist groups such as the panther remnants, and the san francisco "zebra killers" and the like, basically murderers & thugs. but, hey, they don't believe in anything worth fighting for, either, especially if it is to benefit white leftists. they may crack a few heads for fun, but, they are not in it for the duration. quite frankly, i don't think blacks are going to play a significant role in the civil war ... they are just a bit conspicuous in many places.
they are just too easily targeted, to make it worthwhile to be in a civil war in which they are a minority. for this reason, i do not see the impending civil war as degenerating into a race war, except perhaps in a number of very limited urban setting, say new york city and chicago, washington d.c., atlanta, and los angeles, as the numbers just are not there to the benefit of blacks. other minorities simply will not step in as allies, for reasons of historical & social animosities, in my estimation.
so, in the final analysis, i'll take my chances with the public employees. that's who it comes down to for the left. the elites who run things will not fight, ... , they may wish to wear the "generalissimo" uniforms, but, they will not fight. it is the direct beneficiaries of the leftist state, in terms of employment and entitlement, who will be exhorted to be the fighters for the left. that, and some college students, who i do not see as serious threats on the battlefield. good targets, but not very serious threats.
so, lefties, let me ask you right out, where you gonna get your fighting men and women?
in "all quiet flows the don," mikhail sholokhov recounts in his narrative how the left, to include the bolsheviks and like radicals, educated themselves in the ways of war by enlisting in the czarist armies and fighting, so as to learn the craft of warfare. they learned, by participating in battle, how to conduct tactical and strategic warfare. they did this to learn how to wage the revolution they saw coming upon the collapse of capitalism.
unless i am grossly mistaken, i do not see that having taken place in anticipation of our coming dust ups. i do not see cadres of young leftist veterans leading the charge.
and, i don't see much foreign contribution to the left's fighting forces, (and certainly no utility in the same), such as occurred when the international left poured money and men into the spanish civil war just before wwii. by way of example, our own american left contributed to the ranks of the "abraham lincoln brigade," and socialists and communists black and white fought against franco's fascists.
again, it's the old bugaboo about beliefs .... what european college student and/or leftist believes devoutly enough in advancing international socialism to come to america and die for it? it's far more comfortable to exhort and proselytize in a university cafeteria, relaxed in a leather couch, then it is to be shot at, or, horrors, killed. oh, some of a certain bent might well envision the joy of coming to american and killing for socialism, but, i sincerely doubt any of them want to come here and die at my hands.
we see this trend in the history of the terrorist movements. at the start of european terror, young european socialists like the bader meinhoff sped around on motorcycles machine gunning this or that hapless bureaucrat, and killing american servicemen, and they did so as long as this "sport" remained relatively risk free. but, something happened. the hapless capitalists stopped being hapless, and western intelligence made such escapades, and organizing for such escapades extremely dangerous, and even fatal. as in, fatal, w/ regularity.
at this point, european socialism and radicalism farmed out the killing, and risk taking, to the underprivileged of the world, principally turning the gaza strip into the left's "murder incorporated." to this day, european socialism is the banker and financier of arab terrorism, and it has made the gaza strip and the west bank the source of the european left's attack on western free market societies. keep this in mind, oh yee minions of the left, when the ear ring crowd recruits you to do the dying. they will just be repeating the european leftist paradigm. funny ain't it? you'll especially appreciate the humor in it, when you catch a .308 in the chops.
to the extent i am off base in the above analysis, dear lefties, please correct me. tell me just who is going to do your killing?
you?
the russians? they have not done so hot in chechnya, or in afghanistan, and i doubt the russian military wants to send their troops here, where they would stand out like sore thumbs. they know the "reception" they would get.
anyone watch "red dawn?" you think the cubans might come and fight for the left, ... , maybe on a limited basis, to "liberate" miami? it might be fun to watch the rooskies and the french come ashore in america.
and, you lefties, you think "united nations" "troops" would do you much good on american soil in an american civil war? well, just look at the "valor" they have displayed in syria, and lebanon, and in the various african nations where they do their killing w/ machetes and clubs. about the only "activity" the u.n. troops have distinguished themselves at in their various places of deployment is raping white and black women with equal aplomb and frequency.
next?
so, lefties, i will ask you again, where are you gonna get your fighting men and women.
now, by contrast, for my friends on the left, i am going to give you an assessment with regard to whom you face on our side, in the coming conflicts. i think it only fair that you understand just who & what you deal with when you go to war in order to try and abridge our right and privilege, and to usurp the constitution, and to toy with the religious and social heritage of "the great unwashed," as you would put it.
this is "us," in short.
well, again, there is me. i am part of "we."
i am practicing my limited martial skills. and, trying like hell to stay alive long enough to do righteous battle. this is a fight i don't want to miss.
the first thing that you must understand is, that while my friends will be just as committed to asserting their right and privilege, most are a good deal harder than me. yes, i mean by that they are fitter, and stronger, and more fleet of foot. but, something else is afoot. you have pissed them off with your foul mouthed transgressions, and they have an edge.
they have a "hard on" for you.***
they speak openly of "bagdhad rules." the first time i heard this phrase i asked, (having had a sheltered upbringing, apparently), what does that mean? i was greeted w/ hoots of friendly derision. no rules, a friend explained, a normally mild mannered sort. you fight us, it's your mommy and your daddy, and your family, and your cousins, all become fair game. no restraints. their suburban enclaves are no shelter, the war goes there, too.
the second thing is, that hillary clinton and the obamas have treated american service people like they were dirt. well, like not particularly bright cannon fodder. service people know all the tricks that the democrats and the left have pulled to deprive them of their access to the ballot box while they've been in war zones, and overseas, and they know how they have been fraudulently deprived of those votes they managed to cast. they know the things that have been done to them financially, and they know how they have been cheated of their health care benefit.
they have not forgotten. they have not forgiven the slights, and the treatment, and the crass and shabby treatment they have received from the american left.
and, they know how hilary and the obamas despise them, and treat them with utter disdain and contempt. every time some dumb shit like john kerry calls them murderers, or al gore tells his children to work hard lest they grow up to be the minions of the elites, word gets around. every time hilary and the obamas belittle service people, or disdain saluting the flag, it gets around. and, when the leftist rulers of san francisco banned the united states marines from their fair city, it has not been forgotten by the marine corps. not by one single fucking marine.
my friends on the left, you can count on general wesley clark, the little politician in uniform who ran for president as a democrat to man the barricades with you. (sort of the modern day equivalent of civil war general mcclellan.) and, some of your little pussy generals you've promoted over the years.
but, "we" have the rank and file of the veterans of this country, and we have the command staff you've excised from the military on trumped up charges and extortion, to make way for your political hacks.
did i happen to mention that a great number of them are combat veterans? they know how to fight. they know first hand the rigors of combat, for keeps. they are not much for carrying placards w/ leftist slogans and pushing old people around at polling booths, but they know the death rattle of full auto, boot to boot, and toe to toe. and, they know the command structure that makes fighting efficient. and, they know of logistics, and ballistics, and those allied topics you treat with such disdain. (ooh, so nasty, the little lefties say. why, yes, precisely, we say. get used to it.) they've put their hands in the stinking gut piles, and they've seen legs and arms torn off, and torsos rent asunder from shell fragments.
they've dished it out. they've suffered it. they are "blooded," in ways you will never understand.
this is who you do battle with.
how do you think the millions of hunters who go afield every autumn with shotguns and rifles feel about you? how do you think the millions of members of the n.r.a. will line up on this one?
and, i am going to tell you about a far more subtle difference between you and i, that will prove telling on the battlefield. it is not so much a "difference," but a "gulf" in the existence that you and i live every day, that will prove decisive when we go to fight. it is a difference that defines the essence of what "they" and "us" means, who you and "we" are. right down to the depths of our bones.
i am old now, soft, but, i wasn't always. at some point in my life i pursued a profession, and ended up pushing paper and words to get my work done, but it wasn't always so.
and, it makes a difference. for you see, while i and millions like me have done things, have done work that produced things that people used and houses that they lived in, you've done nothing. i worked in metal fabrication. i worked as a carpenter, and built houses and barns and the like. i drove tractors and trucks, and things like that. and, i've gone over the side of a bering sea crabber under way in rolling seas, off a stack of crab pots five bering sea pots high, and i've released the swedes that held those stacks to the deck so they could be put over the side.
you are soft. oh, you may go to the gym, and you may work up a sweat, and you may even be "fit." but, dear lefties, and you'll just have to trust me on this, you don't even begin to understand what it is to be hard. to take the rigors of work for eight hours, or 12 or 16 hours or more, every day, in the cruelest conditions.
work is not 20 minutes of work out. trust me on this.
i've worked 16 and 18 hour shift in the alaska fishing grounds, off loading crab, butchering crab, and loading frozen product onto japanese bottoms, by hand. i've loaded box cars w/ 55 lb boxes, stacked so high that you had to stand on your toes to get the top row in, right up to the "ceiling" of the box car. i've bucked bales, stacked hay.
no more, i've earned my time in the pasture.
but, while you push paper, and count coupons, and eat at fine restaurants, there are millions and millions and millions of americans who still do that sort of work. and, they are hard, and mean, and tough in ways you cannot begin to fathom, as only a life time of hard work confers. as only working for wages at the sufferance of others can make a person. they bark a knuckle, they don't go to the doctor, they don't take "sick leave," they scrape the blood and the skin and the grease off on a pant leg, and wipe the snot from their noses onto a shirt cuff, and they go on working.
they are used to work.
and, they are used to adversity and calamity. they are used to dealing w/ death as an occupational hazard, and as an occupational reality. they deal with, and accept danger on the job, every day, and this is something that you simply do not comprehend. your biggest danger is choking on an egg mcmuffin while you scan the stock reports .... they are used to someone on the crew being crushed by a tree, or buried in a trench, or having a hand mangled in an unguarded gear set.
something that you elites forget about "we, who are not elites," is that we are used to dying in the course of our endeavors. joseph wambaugh was a former cop, a former prosecutor, who wrote a good book, "the onion field," not a literary masterpiece, but a good yarn, ... , based upon the real life murder of two los angeles cops, i believe.
lots of people get worked up about stuff like that. it's "dramatic." well, o.k., nasty enough way to go, for sure.
but, wambaugh made a telling comment about the risks that "ordinary" people take in the every day course of their given occupations. he noted that while he worked his way through school and law school, that he also worked in steel mills in the los angeles area. (hey, a ready source of steel in all the hulks around l.a., to feed the little speciality mills that dot our country.) wambaugh noted that when the two cops were killed, in that same period all over los angeles working men and women were dying on the job, in work related accidents in steel mills, in construction jobs, working in agriculture, and drowning while fishing, and the like. in fact, if i recall correctly, he said that over a comparable period, that steel mill all by itself had as many "on the job" deaths as the los angeles police department.
think about that.
his point was, that there are lots of jobs and crafts that are way more dangerous than police work, in absolute and relative terms.
and, he was right. he was right then, and he is right now.
and, i'll tell you how you can confirm or seek to negative this assertion on my part, if you are interested. simply go to the website for your state labor and industries department, and check out the insurance rates for industrial insurance among the various occupations, crafts and professions.
i believe that you'll find out the following.--
that by far, the most dangerous occupations are things like fishing, construction, farm work and farm labor, steel fabrication and high work w/ steel, ... , in these jobs, it is simply a fact of life that people get killed from time to time. it is sufficiently "fact based" that the actuarial rates are easily calculated to reflect the danger of the various occupations, and this danger is reflected in the industrial rate of insurance that is deducted from the paychecks of millions of americans.
death and injury are accepted as occupational hazards, and the extent of the hazard is exactly reflected in the industrial insurance premium withheld from every worker's paycheck.
this is the reality that "we" face every day, a reality that you, little lefty, haven't an inkling about. but, you will, you want to fight "us." we'll teach you about "on the job" death.
i grew up and live in an area that buys a very large percentage of "the hillside" wheat combines sold in america every year, and that would be northeast oregon & washington. we don't farm level ground, not like in the midwest. pea and wheat harvests out here are carried on upon hillsides so steep, that the cows and the horses have shorter legs on the uphill sides, so that they can graze in leisurely circles around the hill tops.
well, ahem, ... . the point is, just every now and again a self leveling mechanism will fail on a harvester, or the rear wheels of a wheat combine will slip and give way on the slick straw, and a machine will tumble down hill, and someone's child who was earning tuition for college dies getting a "schooling."
i haven't mentioned logging.
you city slickers, you high faluttin types, you don't think much about the costs of the wood products that build your homes, that make and sheath your walls, that provides the siding. well, they are bathed in blood. trees called "widow makers" fall on people, and crush them, or tree fallers catch a "kick back" in the chest, or toppers go down with the crown of a tree that catches them as it falls. sometimes the tops simply snap below the place where the topper has set up shop, which is not good. i have a neighbor, a full paraplegic, crushed when a tree fell on his skidder. you lefties, you haven't the slightest notion what a skidder is, do you?
in the logging woods, many a young kid has been killed or maimed setting chokers on high lead outfits, getting those who are not quite agile or quick enough to get out of the way when a log goes in a direction its not supposed to, or whip saws.
you lefties don't worry about such matters as you talk about the universal declarations of man, as you count your coupons, and worry over your portfolios, or complain that the crepes aren't up to snuff.
you drink your latte's.
we drink coffee. farmers brand. you've never heard of it.
and, "we" who suffer these calamities don't worry over them so very much, as they just happen as a matter of the courses of our lives, and those of our families. we are hardened to such matters, we accept such things as the cost of living, as a cost of "doing business," as it were. you think the matter much different in the rolling hills of pennsylvania and west virginia, where the miners still go underground for the coal that powers the great furnaces that warm you in the winter, as they run the great drag lines that scrape surface coal for generating electricity? they, the "we" in those places, suffer death every day as a consequence of their labor, of their social class, of their political beliefs, of their heritage as miners.
you lefties, you don't understand. and, you just don't comprehend what it means when you face your opposition in your first battle. you will be facing people who are committed to the fight, who are committed to the duration of the fight, in ways that are quite beyond you.
just as they are committed to the life they lead.
you lefties, back in the day of john l. lewis, you were "solid" with such people, as you "organized" them. well, i've got news for you, there is a grand chasm, a huge divide, created by your later day politics and rhetoric, and environmental posturing that have cost these people their livelihoods and their incomes, and left them adrift.
you have scorned them and their work, written them off, and in return they hate and detest you.
and, this is why, when the killing starts, we will sustain our losses, and we will struggle on, because that's the way it has been for us since time immemorial. and, that is just the way it is going to be when the shit hits the fan.
death will not deter us.
death does not deter us from going to work, and death will not deter us when the killing is to be done. we see it every day, we accept it every day, and we will deal with it every day as we fight you, and we will endure it every day until we secure our goals. if you consider that this is how we will deal with it in our ranks, then pray consider whether the act of killing you will give us much pause as we push forward to restore our rights, and to restore our heritage, and to restore our sacred constitution.
we fight to affirm the essence of our lives and belief. you fight to rule. there is no comparison.
killing you will not give us any pause, whatsoever. we will view it simply as the cost you must bear for your perfidy. you've earned your fates. you deserve the your fates. they are your just desserts.
i, and my brothers, we are used to the toll this fight will exact, from many years of exposure to this toll. you are not. we will not shrink from it, we never have. i believe that you will, and that you will wilt as the fight grinds on, and that you will succumb to it.
i, and my brothers, will simply outlast you. and, we will outfight you. to the death. to your deathes, which you will suffer disproportionately.

p.s. it is winter.
you go to you little office, or to your little classroom, and you work in air conditioned heat.
look at the workers you pass in the morning, with the frost on the ground, the condensation writhing into the air, (a swirling wraith, ... , perhaps a bit better???), ... , as they work, clothed in the heavy canvas coats and coveralls, the hoodies up under the hard hats, the heavy line leather gloves worked slick from handling cable and chain and steel in the weather. look at them shamble along in their heavy boots.
you've got your alpaca sweater, the heat up, the heated seats, and your latte in your fist as you idle along in the rush hour traffic.
consider the summer, the same scene. you are dressed the same, the digitally controlled climate in your car identical to the winter setting. you look out, and you see the same guys, dressed in genes and wife beater tea shirts, the hair on their backs napped with sweat, and the water dripping from their arms pits, their faces red in the heat.
year after year, as the great machine of government and industry builds the roads.
these men are tough. think of the tunnel borers. the high steel & girder guys.
you are gonna beat these men on a battlefield, in a street fight over rubble, in a fight from basement to basement, from doorway to doorway.
you soft little leftist pussy, you haven't a chance, and you know it.
*** this hard on is partly based on social status, and demographic. more fundamentally, it is based on belief system. "we" believe in hard work, individualism, and reward for personal initiative. we do not believe in "entitlement," and being in receipt of the other person's largess through taxation and other expropriation, such as practiced by obama and minions. we also have religious conviction.
you have made fun of us, and belittled us, at every turn, made us the scorn of your humor and "social criticism." we do not fucking like it. i would suggest that john stewart, and that other dumb fuck spin off, beat cleats when the shit hits the fan. it's just not gonna be very healthy for the jane fonda's and sean penn's of the world when the shit hits the fan in the united states.
i suggest that they head to venezuela just as fast as they little feets can carry them. because, dear lefty friends, their asses are on the line. and, andy cuomo is a dipshit, as well. just sayin'.
The "bitter clingers" are becoming bitter indeed.
The left has no idea what they're bucking up against.
I whole hardheartedly agree with your essay. Yes, I went to college and my largest mistake, I believe, in my life was not joining the military when finished. Too many direct relatives who were combat veterans advised against it. But...
I'm no stranger to the realities of the world. I grew up poor in a large family. My father owned a rinky-dink tree service. I was climbing by the time I was 14. That's how I paid for college. Before that I was picking rocks and bailing hay for the local farmers. Some of them did were maimed and some died. Out of college and not finding work (seems a BA in German and Russian languages isn't even in the best of times highly called for) I got involved in tool and die welding, using the largest welding rods in the world. I made a hell of a name for myself and by my mid twenties, I was traveling the world setting up welding programs in forges, steel mills, and foundries. Lots of them in Socialistic countries (hell-holes). Many were brought piece meal from the US. That giant sucking sound? That's free trade. When that played out, after the steel industry was gutted in the US by cheap imports from Russia and China (F.U. most favored nation), and I lost everything I went back to school. Trade school at 30 to earn the privilege of becoming an apprentice Deep Sea Diver, which I quickly completed an rose (or descended if you prefer) to the level of a Saturation Diver (google it). Along the way I've seen, in all of my professions, except that of student, well...Russia back in '92-'92 was fairly bloody, I've seen all sorts of folks get maimed and killed. It's simply a part of life to be expected. Well, they're (gov't bureaucrat regulators) systematically shutting down the oilfields in the Gulf. Never let a crisis go to waste so they say and Macondo spill has given them their opportunity. I'm outta work, but have my fingers crossed for getting something at the local steel mill.
Along the way I've lived in some major cities, and am now, thankfully, rural and somewhat isolated. I've seen firsthand their parasitic ways.
Bitter and clingy.
More than anything....
Bitter.

I work in shipyards, fisshed off George's Bank, logged, worked banging nails, welding and earned a BS over the course of 10 years.I agree with you writing on this 1000%....the lefties have no fucking clue...we'll crush them. Like minded folks like us can deal with the physical and mind set of a good fight. We do it every day.They have no idea how their arrogance will work against them. They want a fight? Bring it...I'm ready.
Posted by: Steve Cournoyer | January 22, 2014 at 11:41 AM
I agree wholeheartedly with your piece, but you're missing an important element of the leftist coalition: the underclass. In particular, it will be the criminal underclass that will be wooed by the left to do their fighting.
This brings to mind an account I read by a German Waffen-SS officer who served both on the Eastern Front and in the French Foreign Legion against the Viet Minh. He noted that western intellectuals believed that the Left was made up of intellectuals and workers. If that were true, the German wrote, crushing communism would be easy. What made the communists so dangerous in reality, in his experience, were the criminals who flocked to an ideology unrestrained by any notion of human rights. Any crime against class enemies could be justified by communism, so the real psychopaths joined up to rape, kill and loot with official sanction.
That will happen again.

Leif-
It's so blatant it's not obvious.
Unless you take into consideration SEIU, ACORN, the Political class, and the black and hispanic minorities. I have a very hard time differentiating between them and the criminal class. One needs must also consider the fact that Germany was at that time a homogenous population. With enforced diversity and multiculturalism it does become an increasingly difficult proposition to differentiate.
JJ and I have gone around a bit about the "race" problem and demographics, he see's it as less of a problem than I do, maybe because he himself is living in a mostly homogenous neck of the woods. I see them as being protected and enabled by those who would oppress us, used as an army if you would, to do their dirty work.
