I think a lot of socialists and communists ignore the 1980’s of Eastern Europe and Russia too much. Generation after generation of people were indoctrinated with these philosophies. And yet, as soon as liberalism became an option for them, they immediately traded in their party card for it. No guns needed.

We ran the experiment and in the end it declared itself a failure.

Now the thing to be done is to work out all the wrong ways liberalism has gone and rinse away the communist influence on parts of it over the 20th century.
