Tim Barrus: Burying America

I am a communist. A call for courage. Americans can get caught up in the terror of that knock on the door. In reality, they’re not knocking on doors. They’re breaking them down. We will come for you while you sleep. We will take your children, and tear up your home. Because we feel like it. You will disappear. The deviant will not be satisfied until we are dead. No one agrees with me on that. The editorial board is outraged, as well they should be. Too little. Too late. But what can we do to save America. Too little. Too late. But it’s not fair. Too little. Too late. He doesn’t mean to kill us. Too little. Too late. He knows what is good for us. Too little. Too late. But he loves America and he’s a successful businessman. Too little. Too late. Brace yourself for the recession. It will not be a little recession. And it’s too late in the game to stop anything. Federal judges are feeling it. About time. But federal judges are too little, too late. What makes them inviolate. The rest of us are still reeling. The subtext is one where power is telling everyone that they are expendable, and if they do not follow the orders of the deviant, he can make you vanish. Just like that. The people who are going to actually need that courage the editorial board articulates will be the people in the streets. Your military will arrive locked and loaded. When the military starts killing peaceful protestors, all bets are off. What the deviant is fearful of is that we will find that courage.
