Back in the ’80s, the Twin Cities were plagued by a mass of Peace Creeps; a group of dolorous, white, upper-middle-class progressives who believed that if the US just disarmed, the Soviets – who, being the intellectual children of Stalin and the parents of Putin, would naturally<\/em> join hands with the theretofore war-mongering West and march into a peaceful future, in spite <\/em>of the West’s base intentions. Groups like the Anti-War Committee and Women Against Military Madness spent the eighties getting slavering, adoring media coverage; it was a warmup for the sort of intellectual tongue bath today’s media gives the likes of Greta Thunberg, Ilhan Omar or Hamas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the groups were moral narcissists to think that Soviet or Red Chinese leadership were “just like us”; that people who routinely murdered or exiled or stuffed opponents into “psychiatric clinics” were anything like Western democracies (before Obama, anyway). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to wonder how long people like them would last in the systems they were holding up as their moral ideal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no wondering, of course. This is how it turns out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
