But, even had Trotskii succeeded Lenin, rather than Stalin, some form of barbaric, despotic leadership and gulag would have emerged. It is the nature of the beast.
So those dopey, run-of-the-mill liberals will end up Stalinists at the end of their road. Give them benefit of the doubt. Just don’t give them the rope and gun to suppress and hang you with.
Yeah, I thought about adding that caveat to my original post.
I guess all that I was trying to convey was that I often have to deal with liberals; and I just don't have the energy to confront them about it, so I try to ignore their liberalism. So, I treat your average liberal as if he/she were less stupid, crazy, corrupt, or evil than more prominent leftists/communists like Hillary. In other words, though I recognize that average liberals, when taken together, are very, VERY dangerous - I try to consider individual libs as harmless dopes.
It just helps me to cope with everyday life, rather than walking away from every interaction with a liberal thinking that they're evil to the core.
