I would like to believe this. But historically, the left has never found its capacity for violence to be in short supply, nor its taste for merciless cruelty. Compare the behavior of the Whites to the Reds in the Russian Revolution. The saving grace in our case may be our relatively widespread degree of private property, and our Second Amendment. It's hard to get people who own a home to surrender it in the name of egalitarianism, especially if they are armed.
