79. I hate to break it to you, but, uh...

Stalin was a Fascist. There is no such thing as "Left-totalitarianism" outside the efforts of Fascist apologists to push the "both sides do it!" meme. You will not find any actual leftist agenda under the Soviet Regime.

While you're sticking with Jefferson and Paine, do remember that when they were writing, there was a parity of arms on the battlefield; the weapons owned by the common militia were on par with the weaponry that would be brought to bear against them by any opposing force. You are not living in Thomas Paine's time. Nor, despite the frequent fantasies of your sort, are you living in the times of William Wallace, nor on the set of Red Dawn. If the EBIL GUBBMINT wants to step on your neck, they will fucking do it and will do so with massively superior firepower.

If you want to sit around fingering your triggers and sniffing cordite, that's your business, and frankly, it doesn't bother me one bit. But get off your fucking pedestal, you are not the cornerstone of liberty. You're just some dude who owns the Rube Goldberg version of a hammer.
