Freedom, justice, and equality "by any means necessary."

[Algernon Moncrieff]

That’s our motto. We want freedom by any means necessary. We want justice by any means necessary. We want equality by any means necessary.

In 1789, Malcolm X would have been 3/5 of a person and most likely born into bondage.

I'm not advocating anything, but on November 3rd, if/when Trump tries to declare victory early. When he tries to use "Chad" Cavanaugh and Commander Fred's daughter to stop counting the votes, you need to recall the words of Malcolm X ...

"...by ANY means necessary."

I'll add this: in 1942, things looked bad for freedom. The Japanese had bombed the fleet at pearl harbor, overrun Wake Island, and our troops underwent the largest surrender since the Civil War in the Philippines. London was being bombed, and Hitler looked unstoppable in Russia.

...but people stood up! Smart people stood up and little by little, at an incredible cost, defeated the forces of fascism. It was far from a perfect victory - Stalin was a certifiable bastard, and German POWs enjoyed better treatment than African American troops. But fascism lost.

It will lose again.

1. You know,

The wing-nuts, et al, try to hang what they are doing on us over and over again.

The left is supposed to be the threat, the danger. We are supposed to be bringing a socialist nightmare to the country, etc. No matter how they slice it, they are simply looking in a mirror that deflects and reflects their own projection.

Now, on the other hand, they may be surprised if we ever do decide to throw down the guantlet and respond in any other way than to be reasonable, fact oriented, civil, self-restrained, etc. We have had much patience and endured a lot so far.

Now, talk about waking a sleeping giant. They may taunt us and denigrate us to the point where they really push us to the limits, especially when the stakes are high enough, i.e., freedom for more than just a bunch of narrow-minded, angry, violent Fascist thugs or the preservation of our democracy.

I don't think they realize what they are actually up against, especially if their stereotype of us is snowflakes and lattes at Starbucks. We can be a formidable force to reckon with when goaded enough.

3. Tbe title's oxymoronic thinking. Literally cannot have any

of the three by "ANY means necessary."

Now, fascism, kleptocracy, holocaust, those are all compatible with absolute ruthlessness. That writer needs to revisit history and pay attention this time. Bad people don't create goodness. They destroy it.

5. We face a wall of corruption with tRUMP, reTHUGS, cultists and sPUTIN. I truly feel

that the end justifies the means and in our case I think that's fine as long as our hearts and goals are pure. Now let's go kick some fascist ass!
