“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
BY WALLACE STEVENS

I wanted that to be funny, but it is the sad truth of stupid.
I wonder, how much carbon monoxide and how long would it take?
The Uber-correct nature of these people will be troweled into the cement if their true party leadership ever gets to real power in our nation. Socialism is a tool to reduce all citizens to the lowest common denominator and not one to elevate them in status.
This convention is a joke only because we have seen in our history too many times that movements with the word ‘Socialist’ bulldoze the class system of an entire nation leaving starvation and human rights abuses as its trademark.
It is my fervent hope that America is never overrun by people who claim that they are socialist. It is the political equivalent of Ebola.
That phrase “comrades”… where have I heard that before?
Severian at Rotten Chestnuts reminds us of a figure from history, and how he’s relevant to the DSA:

“If these…organisms… are “The Revolution,” then what could we possibly have to worry about?
Lots.”
Oh, damn it. Sorry, Gerard.
Thanks for the fixing, Gerard.
