Quote of the Day
Death is the solution to all problems. No man – no problem.
I cannot help but think of this quote in the context of the shootings and planned shootings of various prominent Republicans such as House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, three Supreme Court Justices, the two attempts at killing Donald Trump, and of course the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Leftist and political violence seem to be strongly correlated*.
You also see this in the expression of political will. The number and magnitude of riots, the level of violence, looting, and arson of the political left dwarfs that of the political right in this country. I have to wonder are they inspired by Stalin and others of his ilk? Or is it a natural result of their political posture?
The political right seems to be far less inclined to use violence means to achieve their political goals. I’m not saying they are entirely ethical, honest, or consistent. But violence does not seem to be one of the primary tools in their toolbox.
* Yes, there is evidence the 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators were politically motivated. But I don’t see Republicans excusing the murders or claiming the victims brought it on themselves.
Yes, the MN killings were politically motivated but the direction of the motivation remains unclear. There is also substantial evidence that the killer was a serious nut. He told police that Walz wanted him to kill Klobacher. Tampon Tim is crazy but not that crazy. The implication is that the killer is that crazy. Never accept the Left’s narrative.
I’m a turn the other cheek kind of guy. What happens when myself, and a whiole lot of others in political agreement with me stop being so?
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters — then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
Even when the anti-communist “right” does engage in widespread violence against their own countrymen in an organized manner, on a National scale, using the military and secret police to brutally crush the communists the magnitude of deaths is usually in the thousands. That is horrendous! Having said that, when national or international socialists seize power and wield it to crush their internal opponents, history shows the casualties are often in the millions as is document in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China, Cambodia’s killing fields, etc Both are evil. One is literally hundreds or thousands of times more evil than the other.
