    You’re subjected to violence every day by our government, the entire oligarchy of Democrats and Republicans. You sit back and accept it. But when our own working class advocates for collectivism to fight against that government, liberals always try to talk it down. The biggest obstacles to progress have always been Democrats.

            I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

                  There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. -Thoreau

                  I’m fine with attacking the literal fascists than just the sycophants, so I suppose we can split up the work.

                    If you’re are not including democrats in your equation of fascists you are doing nothing but protect the roots
