Poll question: If a full-scale Left revolution started in this country today, would you join it, or resist it?
      

Pretty self-explanatory, really.

If you'd join it, you've come to the conclusion that change is impossible under the system we currently have in place.

If you'd resist it, you still think, despite all evidence to the contrary, that "reform" is a meaningful concept.
Poll result (41 votes)
I'd join    (26 votes, 63%)   Vote
I'd resist    (8 votes, 20%)   Vote
I'd TiVo it.    (1 votes, 2%)   Vote
Does this have anything to do with the Demi/Ashton thing? If not, who cares?    (0 votes, 0%)   Vote
Moot question...I'm sure Pastor Canning will guess the right date pretty soon now    (1 votes, 2%)   Vote
Other    (5 votes, 12%)   Vote


Boy,now I am scared.

17. I'd greatly prefer a social revolution to any forceful overthrow of the state.
   A revolution as I think you mean it is an incredible waste of lives and resources.

I`m not scared anymore.

Apparently they're not all as insane as they like to pretend.  A violent Leftist revolution would be roughly as successful as the Beer-Hall Putsch, but without the beast being able to regenerate afterward (Ideally, through a shortage of surviving participants).

Most of the people on DU are comfortable middle class people who just like to let their socialist freak flag fly on line. They know a actual full blown socialist revolution would mean the end of a pretty good life for them selves. In fact if all the people there who claim to be hard core socialist really meant any of the crap they spout they would have emigrated to Cuba years ago.

Socialism is just like a three way. It looks like fun in the movies but kind of gross and disappointing in real life.

Even a non-violent leftist revolution would end up with shooting.
1) a Leftist cannot tolerate dissent. They must have a bloody purge.
2) the Left cannot tolerate Christians or Jews. They will start a bloody purge.
3) The Left will start the much vaunted class war, and institute a bloody purge.
4) muslims will jump at the opportunity to start their own bloody purge.
5) Ayers mentor to the president and mentor to the revolutionaries, will advise for a bloody purge.

The bottom line is the radical left has at last revealed itself. Just read DU for a day. they hope and pray for a bloody purge. They will turn in their own family members to die. The left today is not defined by tolerance, but by hate.

Believe me. Privately owned guns in this country will ensure they will be bloody resistance to a leftist revolution.
"Don't tread on me" is not a slogan, it's a warning.

I'm trying to be clear for the lurkers. They will be resistance. And we don't play any reindeer games.
We do not need to resist now because there is no revolution happening. We can and will defeat you at the ballot box. But pull a revolution on us, and just watch.

I'll close by pointing you lurkers to my sig.

Does joining mean typing on your keyboard from an undisclosed basement?

If not then about 4% of the DUches will be joining.

If a leftist revolution did start, it would be over, except for the in fighting in big liberal cities, before I could load up all of my weapons and blockade all of the freeways and train tracks into those big liberal cities.

As long as they get to stay warm and keep their bellies full their all for it.  Which is why they will never succeed.

They have no idea what it means to be cold, tired, and truly hungry, and they know they have capitalism to thank for it whatever else they may claim.

What a change! Before the Kenyan muslim got the DUmpmonkeys (and other lifelong losers) all agitated with his class warfare harangues, the DUmmies would consistently dare anyone to challenge their patriotism.

Of course, DUmp democrats have always been traitorous bastards, but during the Great Bush Prosperity they denied it.

Now after three years enjoying the 0conomy, and daily class envy prodding from their messiah, nearly two-thirds of the deadbeats claim they'd go to war against their own country.

Kind of hard to fight a revolution from behind a keyboard. They don't make very good bullet stoppers and neither do the DUmmies
