    Lyman worth remembering that Communists, Socialists, Trade Unionists, Anarchists,

    All had very different and incompatible visions of a future.

    Some wanted to destroy capitalism,

    Others just wanted to curb its excesses.

    Given gilded-era levels of wealth inequality in the USA today,

    Some wonder if capitalism needs reform of some kind.

    It's hard to look at the history of how business fought tooth and claw against regs on food purity, for example, and not imagine that every once in awhile the people, through government, need to have their say.

    In a country of competing forces, no one force should get its way 100% of the time.

    Should it?

    never

      And yet, that's what the Democrat Party wants -- to have its way 100% of the time. That's why they've spend the last three years doing nothing but obstructing the President and scratching up nonsensical matters to impeach him.

        Yeah, he had both houses 2016-2018.

        Nice try.

        No party should have a super majority. Next time the Left has it, our 2A will be front and center. Enjoy your false economic progress, because with the highest deficits in history, there will be a reckoning long after your watch is over.

          todays politics is closer to Communist Socialist, than Nazi,


          maybe you should study some history and not watch AHC so much
          History is one of my hobbies and in college I was one of two tutors chosen to aid high school students who were on the verge of not graduating due to their lack of knowledge.
