Stella's Place 
The one thing I have to nitpick about it the same as always; the dates. Ethically 1950s America is not the same country as 1850s. People and families sold everything on the East coast and moved to the Western territories to get away from local regulation and government control. But even at that time period people wouldn’t dream of spending their own money on public roads, bridges, and railways. They petitioned congress and would wait for years for nothing to be allotted. Corruption and bribery was already rampant.
According to socialism, it’s the next natural progression in society after capitalism. From what I’ve learned, socialism predates our constitution but didn’t get it’s first try until the French revolution. It just wasn’t called socialism until around the second quarter of the 1800s.
I keep getting pulled away, and have derailed my train of thought.

Watching the BLM protest/tree lighting a few blocks away on TV. A couple of helicopters overhead.

I’ve had my eye on the Chicago protests. Seems BLM have to be content with ruining the commerce of many stores along the Magnificent Mile.
Though the Obama Minion award goes to John Curran a VP of marketing for the Magnificent Mile who said, “In commerce terms you can think of this as a snow day. There is going to be a loss of revenue today and we plan to make that up during the rest of the holiday season.”
Good gravy.

This is the same coordination of tactics used over the years to overthrow governments. The technologies today make it almost instantaneous now instead of months or years. The French revolution gets ignored for the most part today because of many Americans limited knowledge of world history, but it actually took place across many countries in Europe at the same time. Modern history books state it didn’t come to America or Great Britton, however reading newspapers and magazines from the time in question provide a completely different reality. Several came here during the first decade of our country getting people wound up. Several were deported, but a couple at least became US citizens and couldn’t be kicked out. They were involved in and influencing the whisky rebellion. I have to go find it, but I think it was in Samuel Adams writings that one of the men stated they had a new constitution in his breast pocket and the people were ready to form a new government. So it wasn’t just simple farmers protesting the taxation of the whisky produced (hardly anyone outside the cities had cash or coin, so barter was used). The same men were involved in another uprising in a different state as well.
Modern books seem to dismiss them as just French revolution sympathizers, but it happened too quickly. Without twitter or YouTube.

“many Americans limited knowledge of world history”
And that is the truth, I went back to school a few years ago (about 2). I thought I was prepared for the ignorance and liberalism I would encounter. Young adults, and not so young adults are total minions, ignorant of Karl Marx, the Civil War, in fact they are ignorant of the basic conflict of almost every war, Margaret Thatcher, different governments, the meaning of separation of powers, and so on. I could go on. And world history? They don’t know US history let alone world history.
One example; I had a woman probably in her mid to late twenties who was complaining about how Americans were ignorant because they thought that Cinco de Mayo was Mexico’s independence day, it was her cause, her angst, so I asked her when Mexico’s independence day was, she didn’t know 😦 . September 16th, and no she didn’t even know who they won their independence from.
Our learning educations for the most part are not teaching they are training. Training agenda driven members of the “world family.”
The professors would be a pages long post. My sociology teacher said that we can not say that Communism has failed because it has never been properly tried. He rarely got to push more than one subject in a class because I would point out inconvenient facts. And him and I would argue about reality for the whole class.
