If I Were a Betting Man

[High Praise! to Gunslinger’s Journal (NSFW)]

Remember Cloward and Piven, the left wing pukes who suggested that overwhelming the system and making it crash would open the way for a Socialist takeover to “fix” everything when the people got all freaked out by the general breakdown?

Why is it they think that the Socialists would be the ones to win that final arm wrestle?

Why not the people with the actual good ideas and all the guns?

  1. Oh you mean the people who believe there is actually something worth fighting for and those who are actually willing to spill blood for others. Remember the Revolutionary war, citizen soldiers beat the most powerful country in the world at the time.

  2. Yep, that’s us.

    The socialists would cry “but-but Obama said everyone should bleed their fair share,” and curl up sobbing in the corner.

    Anyway, I think Cloward and Piven only thought as far as overwhelming to undermine and destroy. I don’t think they had a Charles Manson-like plan for building anything after. If they did, it would be vulnerable to their own tactics.

  3. I think it has to do with their poor reading of history. Several times throughout history ever since Marx wrote his work, commies have taken over amidst that type of wreckage. As Dogbert put it a long time ago, “Communism is the most painful path from Capitalism to Capitalism.” However, despite that track record, this time will be different! It’s gotta be!

  4. Yep again.

    They keep thinking, “The Nazis’ idea of a New World Order was just mistaken. This time, with other people in charge of everything and everything, things will be different: they gotta be!”

  5. Never,… repeat NEVER Arm Wrestle a Socialist, Progressive oy anyone faintly resembling same.
    They don’t bathe, use deoderant or smell all that refreshing.
    ..then their arm comes up, pit exposure commences, and it’s ‘Technicolor Smile’ time……..
    …..and you’re on the Retch-n-Barf Express……..

  6. Ever the Optimists!

    Socialists will continue to believe that it will work this time because they finally got the bugs out this time.

    They will never admit that it doesn’t work.

    It always becomes too costly to continue. Their solution is not to persevere and work harder to make it work, but try again elsewhere and hope they have enough resources to completely finish. The idea is to make the others (US) too tired to keep fighting.
