In the 1970s, William “we didn’t do enough” Ayers, who dedicated his political manifesto to the murderer of Robert Kennedy, met with his fellow radicals to discuss the political takeover of the United States.
During that conversation, as reported by Larry Grathwohl, an undercover agent who had infiltrated the group, Ayers and his buddies discussed what they would do with the estimated 25 million Capitalists who refused to submit to re-education and knuckle down to Marxist rule.
Their plan: exterminate them–exterminate 25 million Americans for having the wrong political beliefs.
Could that happen here, in the United States in America?
I certainly hope not.
But I will say this. We are slouching toward socialism, and socialism is anathema to the principles upon which this country was founded: the principles that we are all created equal, and that government should be LIMITED in its power, because when it is not limited, it encroaches on our individual liberties in ways that ultimately refuse us the opportunities we should have to pursue our happiness.
Those are ideals, yes, and ideals can never be perfectly expressed in this world. But they must–MUST–serve as our guideposts. Or we become lost.
Lost, and slouching toward socialism.
And as this trend picks up momentum–driven by a people who have abandoned the physical courage that characterized our founders and instead cling, in their weakness, to the notion that a Paternal Government is their only refuge–I am, by definition, an Enemy of the State.
I am, by definition, aligned with those 25 million people Ayers would have put to death.
With whom are you aligned?
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
– Norman Thomas, 1884-1968, six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America
