I can see the whole "us or them" mentality coming out. Is this the point where you tell me I'm going up against the wall because my version of far left is different from yours?

As you said, "you don't have to listen to me" if you can manage to steal a lot of heavy weapons and point them at my head. Fuck me if I'm the majority, let democracy die. Fuck me if I'm actually on the right side of the paradox of tolerance. You have guns, so we must submit.

Is that what you want to hear?
