The Dying of the Right

[VioletLake]

The Right's goal has always been and continues to be to preserve and promote an oligarchy dominated by wealth, privilege and power. As civilization gradually disarms the Right with laws, this goal becomes increasingly difficult to achieve. Civilization prevents the Right from using brute force and codified discrimination to achieve its goal, and it will eventually prevent the Right from using deception. When that happens, the Right - as it has been known for ages - will cease to exist. The writing has been on the wall for at least 228 years.

20th century fascism was the Right's attempt to break the shackles of civilization and enslave it in one fell swoop. The contemporary American "conservative" movement is using similar means to arrive at the same end. Apparently, the Right is still not convinced that humanity isn't its property. One can only guess how many more lives it's willing to waste before it's convinced.
