Old World Swine: Hudge and Gudge, Right and Left:
An old college friend just posted this link, titled 'Is The Right Moving Towards Violence?' on Facebook. It is a video report posted at The Nation.
I replied; 'Is the left moving towards tyranny?'.

There are good people on both 'sides' who have instictively or for whatever reason put a kind of blind faith in one of two very hazy and completely unfounded ideals... either in the benevolent state (where everything is run by 'experts' who know better than everyone) or else in some dogmatic belief that Free Markets or Capitalism (also run by 'experts') will eventually solve everything. But the State and the Capitalists have been in bed together for a hundred years or more. One hand washes the other, but we ordinary citizens are the ones who had better remember not to drop the soap.
