I honestly could write a whole opinion piece on this but I need to get back to work soon. I was sitting on the jet table at my chiropractor's office this morning getting a massage from the water jet bed. I started thinking about stories I have heard from socialist friends and memes I have heard around Reddit. I have heard parables from olden times where a rich man was not sharing his money so the people took it into their own hands and oftentimes killed the rich man. That got me thinking more, How do they expect to get the money from the current rich? If Elon Musk says you can't have is money what are you going to do? Do you ask nicer this time? That won't change much... Subpeona him for a court hearing? Then acquire his assets by raiding his home when that doesn't work? Congrats you just took money by means of violence. They also justify their violence by slapping labels where they can that can justify these escalations. I used to work in downtown Minneapolis so I saw many of the protests and violence happen and the socialists I saw there were wielding Revolution Now / Communism now signs alongside these signs are anti-gun and anti-violence signs. So inherently they seek state-sponsored violence that will take everything you have if they believe you have too much

Then I think of my libertarian friends and mostly this sub more than often don't want to hurt anyone. If someone is a communist they encourage them to start a commune put your money where your mouth is a sort of deal. I would never stop someone who wants to share their wealth and I would never ask someone to share their wealth. The only time I would ever enact violence unless violence is already being enacted against me.

So why such a stark difference between those who claim to be peaceful and love everyone than those who just want to be left alone? It's so strange the more I think about it. Is it a morality issue? I think this would be good talking points towards extreme leftists who pretend to have the moral high ground. Question their beliefs on government authority and see how far they would let them take it. Where does the force line get drawn? Often times there is no line if you don't comply with the system and that's a very scary thought. They don't want you to have your guns or your property, but if they want to take the property you have to get rid of the tools to prevent them from taking the property. I don't mean to fearmonger here I don't see this happening in the next 10 years but I do think it's high time we stop being on the defense and start exposing the true intentions of those who wish to take from you. It won't stop with a, "please". Eat the rich is real they want to use violence to advance their idealogy and if you don't comply they will eat you too.
