"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
Guys, we are literally doing this now. An old white dude think piece in our national news announced today that the hammer and the sickle are "fascist symbols". They are stirring up hate for the socialists & communists. The red scare is very much alive.
And this is not done by the "far right", but by the liberals and centrists.
Wake up! We have been here before.
