Make no mistake these are not illusionistic threats. They are real, they are deliberate and they are growing …and their intent is to "bring the entire system down from within." > On Oct 7, 2020, at 2:29 AM, Zak McGregor <zak.mcgre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Tue, 6 Oct 2020 19:00:39 -0400 > Keith Sanborn <mrz...@panix.com> wrote: > >> We are talking about the death of even the semblance of bourgeois democracy. >> And in its place not revolutionary socialism, or an anarchist utopia, but >> death-dealing fascism.
