A SJW is a communist. We use a different term at the moment because humans are frightened animals that refuse to accept that we are sliding back towards state totalitarianism.

I didn't realize there was an actual time period since the dawn of civilization where we slipped out of state totalitarianism. So not quite sure how we are going slip back into a state that we are already in. Cheesy

Sure, some forms may appear more benign than others. However, when push comes to shove, any government will show it's true nature and unleash its full power over the "common" people. I don't care what label you put on it. Communism, socialism, democracy, fuedalism, imperialism, rebublic: all just the same bullshit. Just repackaged. And no, I'm not an anarchist either. Mob rule, which is what anarchy would degrade to, would be just as bad.

There wasn't. That's the point. History is a cycle. It goes from some kind of mass dieoff (war, plague, famine - death in whatever cloak) to a thriving civilization to decadence to decline to another dieoff.

We are currently declining, and millions if not billions of people will soon die. Places like Venezuela are just the start.

And democracy is mob rule. BEFORE women got the right to vote, we did not have mob rule.

We had mob rule because the States all decided to turn the electoral college into what is now 50 individual popularity contests, and decided to let people "vote" for Senators rather than them being appointed by (hopefully) qualified individuals. Women being allowed to vote is usually just additional rubber stamps on what their particular clan believes anyway.

Women vote more uniformly than men, which means the moment women got the vote, women controlled politics. And women always vote for more security at the expense of freedom. Which, as every american knows, means you will get neither.
