I may be wrong, but historically I do not see this as ending well. One side demands control in everything, after giving the other side control, now they want it back.

Gov’t has been able to w/o a high level of corruption & ultimate failure of its regime.

Communism is no better, it breeds unfairness, inequality, depravity, corruption, raising sadists & psychopaths into powerful positions, & literally uses human begins as tools for the bourgeoisie. (8)

To gain power, the Bolshevik’s actually ordered the murder of Tsar Nicholas II & his family (July 1918), & overthrew Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky. Notice there is no mention of the American’s at all in my stmt. As I stated before, no country that has only used socialism as a basis 4 their (7)

For u to state the American’s were the betrayers is garbage & misinformation since the British came up with plot & it was aided by French & American Agents. The American’s had nothing to do with the Bolshevik’s govt coming 2 power, there4 spreading this garbage is unconscionable. (6)

As for ur claim that those who were going to overthrow the Bolshevik govt were wrong, I highly disagree. Yes it could have created the same power vacuum we see that brought Putin to power, but how many lives would they have saved without Lenin being in Power? We will never know bcuz it failed. (5)

b. That assassinations of govt officials always creates a power vacuum which in turn can lead to far more horrible ppl coming into power.
The plan never got off the ground tho due to a lax in vetting of the groups members & the Cheka infiltrating the group. (4)

French & Americans to overthrow the Bolshevik govt & assassinate its leaders. The plot aimed to stabilize Europe & stop the spread of Communism (again not a Socialist). The most interesting part of this plan was twofold, a. The Allies had no idea how awful the Bolshevik’s actually were & (3)

Indigenous people lived in America for centuries be4 the white man grounded his ship in Africa (Columbus was nowhere near N.America), they should be celebrated not a slave trader who didn’t know how to steer his ship.

Agreed!

It is time we stood up against these illegal intruders. We have a Constitution that governs our laws, not men, not SCOTUS. If they are in ur state, commencing w/illegal activities then ARREST THEM!

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.
