Our Quasi-Soviet States of America
[American Thinker] American leftists use the same tactics as their Soviet and Chinese comrades. The law has the same outward form as in civilized countries, but it is subverted to political ends. Common criminals, according to Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago, were considered social allies of the regime. In the prison system, they were treated much better than political prisoners. In the U.S. in leftist areas, criminals are treated gently. An active criminal element aids the leftist state by making the citizens beholden to the state for protection. Citizens possessed by fear of crime have less energy for political protest. It is in the regime's interest to pamper criminals. They help the regime to keep the citizens cowed.

The federal Department of Justice and state-level law enforcement in jurisdictions taken over by the left are lenient with common criminals but savagely oppressive against political protesters when an excuse can be found, or manufactured, to charge them with a crime. That fate fell on many allies of Trump. Rudy Giuliani was visited by a gang of FBI agents at 6 A.M. equipped with dubious search warrants.

Vote-stealing activities during the last election were ignored and not even investigated because they helped the left. In San Francisco, thefts of less than $950 are not prosecuted, giving criminals a free pass to terrorize small businesses and respectable people.

Big Business is easily recruited by the left for nefarious ends. In Hitler's Germany, IBM was an enthusiastic helper of the Holocaust, eagerly mobilizing its punched card accounting to keep track of Jews. We see the same in the U.S., where numerous large enterprises have joined the Democrats in propagating outrageous lies about Georgia's new voting law. In China, big enterprises, even if not actually owned by the government, are rabid supporters of the regime. It is now common for U.S. big companies to fire employees who are singled out for having bad political opinions. Any employee of Google, Apple, or Twitter must keep his mouth shut rather than criticize the left, or even the Chinese communists.

#1 You ain't seen nothing yet (but, as long as you win on virus filtering masks ...).

#2  The Right could have done this as well, if they weren't comprised of men and women who cannot cross some imaginary lines. If they didn't all value some archetype of propriety over their calling. They saw the signs [or should have], but they stuck to debates and courts and legislation and Fox News.

To ensure the survival and dignity of life of your subjects at any cost; to absolutely kill kill kill all threats to your society that puts their trust in you; to institute a machine of selective tyranny crushing outliers and recidivists, empowering loyal citizens over deviants... these are the obligations of a ruler. Anything else is pretentious, self-righteous, limp dick lollygagging.

The criminal is a high energy, highly motivated individual not bound by any rules, least of all the metaphysical inanities like equality, sanctity of life and inherent goodness of mankind. The criminal has clear targets toward which he/she works compulsively until they are achieved. And a collective of criminals followed by the maladjusted outliers who fawn over them, is what makes up the modern 'Left'.

There was just no fucking contest.

#3 #2 Criminals are small change - affirmative action is the real civilization killer.

#4 Seems the communist system would work better in an authoritarian state. In the US the victims of high crime can and should blame their local politicians and police.

At some point they will vote with their feet (already seeing that) for idiot policies or vote out the scoundrels.
