Let's hope we're able to move through this current sociopolitical polarization and get back to a point where we can publicly say we like our neighbours without putting an asterisk next to the statement lest some nut case out there tries to get us fired from our jobs.

Also, interesting you should mention Trotsky. After reading about the Strassers, it turns out that both Otto Strasser and Trotsky spent time in Nova Scotia, the Canadian province I live in. Strasser living free in a tiny rural community for ten years (bizarre!) and Trotsky incarcerated briefly in an internment camp for POWs.

I hope so as well, but unfortunately: it seems like civil conflict is inevitable. Both sides are dead-set on complete domination and the total destruction of any and all opposition... I just hope we can form an iron front in time.

Huh, interesting.
