What ever makes you feel better, there is a socialist in congress now, we will see how quickly things will proliferate.

I also highly doubt you are a "producer", did you literally build a factory?

Well I’d guess that it might indeed be very hard for somebody to find a job when putting a coherent grammatically correct sentence together in a forum post appears to be a task beyond their skill set

Sure, but that's called warfare. That's exactly what you would get if you chose to "try" and impose communism on people who do not want communism.

Those freedom loving people, in the United States at least, have lots of guns, ammunition, and many of them are combat veterans with expertise in small arms tactics, and asymmetrical warfare, from fighting in the deserts against jihadist over the past 2 decades (I'm one of them).

You really want to play that game with those type of people? Ooook. Good luck with that.

In fact more and more people want socialism, if ex vets cause issues you use technology against them. Asymmetric warfare does not work and they will be alone in there sentiments.

The US is not going to use the power of the military to impose socialism on the people. You really need to be disabused of such silly notions.

No, if the people vote socialism in and some tiny minority of vets decide to become terrorists then military tech will be loaned to fbi

The same military tech that has failed to quash Jihadists in Afghanistan for nearly 20 years?

It actually works amazingly well when employed properly.

See Vietnam. See Afghanistan x 2.

Yea except that the logistics get way easier because everything is right here.

Plus you will cease to be comfortable and likely be killed by law enforcement.

So yea thes things are possible but these terrorists will have to give their lives to the cause and once people get used to there cushy beach front rich communities will they want to commit acts of terrorism?

Because who is your enemy ... the American voter. So will you blow up a school, hospital?
