    Maybe I missed it when I searched but I didn’t see it. It’s from the 1st.

    This seems like extremely dangerous and vile rhetoric. But notice these commies are telling you a revolution is coming. And they plan on using the same grotesque tactics of Lenin, Stalin and Mao which resulted in 100+M people murdered in 100 years.

    Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said some capitalists "are going to be the first" to be "shot in the revolution" in a tweet Wednesday.

    "Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution," he wrote. "I'll happily provide video commentary."

    Costolo was responding to a tweet in a thread about whether tech companies and business leaders should involve themselves in social justice issues.

    He is right. People who think that ever increasing wealth and income inequality are not a problem seem to be unable to learn from history. Saying "Let them eat cake" hasn't worked well in the past, and it won't work well in the future.

    The hate-filled among these particular types of radical leftists should be concerned for themselves as well because putting them up against the wall and pulling the trigger was precisely what Joseph Stalin did after the 'useful idiots' put Russia into his blood-caked hands. It seems that -- again -- those types are incapable of learning from the stark lessons of history.

    In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They went door to door chopping off heads. Do you think extremists will look for Biden or Trump signs in the front yard, nope.

    It was obviously metaphorical, but policy is policy.

    Funny how you're calling a capitalist a commie.

    In early 20th century Russia lots of capitalists and nobility were extremely sympathetic and helpful to the cause of socialism/communism/Leninism etc.

    Funny how those capitalists were the first to be hung by Russian communists. Don't you agree?...

    oh yeah... the term "useful idiots" immediately leaps to mind, those "wealthy sympathizers" were the ones it was coined for.

    Did any of those early 20th century folk predict the paranoia they would be causing in 2020? Freud was early 20th century. What did he say about paranoid delusions?

    I'll just continue to be a counter-revolutionary. He is free to start his little mass temper tantrum anytime he likes.

    Just to make sure we are on the same page, you are talking about paranoid delusions of systemic racism, defunding the police, Trump being a fascist and a white supremacist, right? Are Russia hoax and Ukraine hoax also included in the paranoid delusions you're talking about?

    It's your page. I can't be on the same one when you keep flipping pages like that. We were talking about communism. That's the page we're on. You'll need to flip back.
