In response to a buddy about Antifa wanting a Classless free society

and thinking that it meant they were communist.

They say that evil comes in darkness and makes you believe against the truths that you believe. They do this over time, with small lies, small whispers, and over time you believe against what you profess to believe while still protesting that you believe in your original beliefs. You wear these original beliefs as armor against negative comments while giving lip service to them. They give you an enemy and make their beliefs that you agree with anathema and because they are the enemy and over time you loose your beliefs because your enemy cant be right in any way whatsoever. Even if it is exactly what your countries founding beliefs were. So in time your original founding beliefs can be used against you to shape you, to change society and create new enemies in those that still believe in the founding ideas. Then they use the power that you have now given them to take over the government and change the original reasons for founding your country. Now it is not about all men are created equal, It is not about unalienable rights, it is about creating a society of classes with rights dependent on those classes. That is how a Democracy falls.

My writing is not so good so anyone that can rewrite this please do so. I know there are some really good writers on here so by all means have at it!
Thanks!
