I'm having a little trouble visualizing a non-local fiefdom. Something like a big multinational? Or are we talking quantum-mechanical spooky fiefing at a distance?

So, it would seem that Lincoln got advance proofs of <i>Das Kapital</i>, which Marx published after Lincoln was killed. It would be great to see Abe's comments . . . I wonder if Marx made edits accordingly?

“Post-Civil War, you’ve got the socialist goals, the communist platform, the Manifesto platform, I think there are ten elements to the platform, one by one they come about in our country,” Swanson added. “And first was the public schools.”

What the fuck does this even mean? It sounds like an outtake from a Caribou Boo speech.

<i>“They want all of the children to think alike, and what tyrant doesn’t want all of his subjects to think alike?”</i>

So God, Allah, Jeebus, etc. -- they're all tyrants?

Who knew the whole "Be excellent to each other" was socialist indoctrination?

At this rate the only President the conservatives will still say was one of their's will be Reagan. They've pretty much disowned everyone else at one time or another.

Slavery is freedom. Emancipation is communism.
