The Occupy Wall Street youngsters are the latest foot soldiers of Communism, though it is likely most are too ignorant to realize it. They have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in government schools and by Hollywood and the media that they have no idea how they are being used by labor unions and other leftist organizations.
The protesters are likely unaware of the misery and murders Marx's Communism imposed on Russia courtesy of Lenin, Stalin, and those who followed in their footsteps. Mao's Red China murdered thousands as well in the pursuit of the "equality" that is the alleged goal of Communism and liberalism.
My son makes lists of things he wants, too. If he wants them badly enough he will work for them. If he expects the world to hand him everything he wants on a silver platter he's going to live one miserable life. Many apparently do.
This one is interesting:
I think he gets the joke of it.
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know...
Be very careful what you wish for. The anti-military crowd wants a revolution. I really believe they have no idea what it is they are asking for. No sane person wants a revolution, certainly not a citizen of the United States. You don't revolutionize yourself from a free society to a freer society. No, no, no. The revolution they are calling for will make all of their problems worse. The redistributed funds they all want so bad never quite seem to make it into the pockets of the little guy who thought that was what he was fighting for.
I recommend this book: Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy. It is not about the Cuban revolution, but it is an autobiographical look at one child's life at the time of the revolution, and the glimpses it gives into what happened are eye opening.
