[quote=Arraya]Most left wing violence and “radicalism” is in Europe. We don’t really have a radical left in the US. That is just kind of the way things turned out – the McCarthy era was effective in that respect, IMO. As much as the right tries to create one.
Still, the issue of race is usually associated, for historical reasons, with “right wing” and that is all I was pointing out. Fringe, yes, but right-wing nonetheless[/quote]
In an interview from the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide that recently surfaced, Grathwohl discussed what the Weathermen intended to do after overthrowing the U.S. government, including what they would do with those Americans who refused to embrace communism.
I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”
Twenty-five million people.

And they were dead serious.
