“Defund Police” Councillor Calls the Cops
The most obvious thing about totalitarian ideologies is just how little the ideologues apply their own theories to themselves. The Soviet Union had its nomenklatura. Communist China has its “princelings”. Some animals are always more equal than others. In the US, the nomenklatura are those leftist politicians who demand curfews
Protests Erupt at US Capitol (Jan. 6)
