They are using the speech of Communist and marxists, them rightist are.

I was thinking about it.

First I hear on the radio labor (especially state workers ) referred as ... parasites. Well Lenin referred that way to Coupon clippers, we call them these days investors.

Then I hear Glenny talking of USEFUL IDIOTS... that is another leninist term

Either they do not realize what they are doing, or they are trying to preempt our use of that language. Regardless it is funny shit to hear Right Wingers using the lingo, but realize this is not accidental. They realize there is a great disturbance in the force and this is the last push to return us to 1880. So realize anything they say is NOT accidental. I wonder who told them to coop the language though.

1. they're using the language of demonization

The Nazis referred to Jews as parasites and that language far pre-dates Marx.

2. Yes. There is a great book on Eliminationist Rhetoric...fogot the author now...worth

reading. They are setting up a situation where right-wingers with guns go out and kill even more of us lefties. There is going to be an open civil war soon I think, something like what happened in Rwanda or Somalia...

I don't think the website was ever completed, but it's a long, thoughtful, often chilling read:

6. Many people, even here, have their heads in the sand

I am afraid to say.

I wonder if that is willful or just the logical conclussions are way too scary.
