And then blame the Party for not providing more attractive choices.

What's a liberal according to Lemmy? Economically liberal and socially liberal? Social democrat? Obama or Bernie?
I'm just curious. How long would you consider a reasonably quick read expressed in hours?
Depends on how quickly you have to read. It's not a very dense book because like half of it is restating history and context you can just skim by if you're already familiar with the time period, and it uses very accessible language.
Yeah that's why I'm curious. I read at about 350WPM so what I consider a fast read may be slow for some.
It also depends on the density of the text. I've been struggling through Imperialism by Lenin for like a month.

I'm saving this one. Too on the nose.
"Christo-fascists are coming!"
They're already here.
"They're rounding up brown people and LGBT will be next!"
Been saying concentration camps and trains are inbound for years now.
"Give up your guns!"
Perhaps liberals should take a WWII history class?
"But they'll kill you if you defend yourself!"
Yes, that often happens when fighting fascists.
"Christo-fascists are coming!"
They're already here.
No shit. They wield the gavel now. Thanks to a bunch of shitheads who couldn't see clear to stop them. That's the difference.
"They're rounding up brown people and LGBT will be next!"

So have the fascists, MAGAts and Qanuts. A lot of people might think about why that is. At any rate, thanks to inaction it's happening right now. Saying it for years did nothing, but voting would have. I'd say you chose the wrong one, but there's very little chance you're a US voter.
"Give up your guns!"
What country are you lampooning? Who the fuck has said that, publicly, in the last 40 years? Are you talking about restrictions on assault weapons? Tougher licensing requirements? Oversight of any kind? Not that you're splitting hairs or anything but those are incredibly different from "Give up your guns!".
"But they'll kill you if you defend yourself!"
Again . . . nevermind.
"Give up your guns!"
What country are you lampooning? Who the fuck has said that, publicly, in the last 40 years? Are you talking about restrictions on assault weapons?
My grandfather used assault weapons to kill fascists. Maybe he should have gotten a license from the fascists, or used a pistol?
We didn't have school shootings while the Black Panthers had access to assault weapons.

People don't consider that there are worse things than going out in a gun battle. Much much worse.
