"The master's tools cannot dismantle the master's house."

In other words such "revolutionaries" do not believe in change from within the system, but that the system must be destroyed and rebuilt in the new Marxist model. Therefore, their goal is actually to accelerate bad conditions to precipitate the "revolution."

Of course, historically, that means people guillotined in public squares or lined up against walls and shot, regardless of the good intentions on going in.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
