re: why do Conservatives think Leftists are wimps when the Red Army, Peoples'.....

Liberation Army, the Sandinistas, Vietcong, and FARC were far from wimps. In fact those armies were politically very far left and were not wimpy. Left wing groups have a long history of taking action.

Actually, Ralph, that's an excellent question and I'm going to give you an honest answer.

The groups you mention were indeed leftists and they were not wimps. The difference between them and today's American leftists is what I have often called "60s Envy."

A lot of American boys went into WW I (where we had no real threat) because they had 'Civil War Envy.' They grew up with grandpa telling them how he killed 100 rebels/yanks with his bare hands.

Today's leftists grew up learning about the 60s. It was glorious... Hippies, Drugs, Viet Nam, Sexual revolution, Racial injustice, etc. The kids who heard these stories are now in their 20s and 30s and they miss having the experience. They are led by the 60 year old profs in college who were there and never got over their radicalism.

One group you mentioned had weapons, training and used both. The other group uses safe places and is trained to be triggered.

Based on recent posts, I think that Ralph is contemplating a commie coup/revolution.

Come at me Uncle Ho.

American left are one of the weakest minded and willed people in the free world.

OP comparing foreign "leftists" to the wimpy snowflake useful idiots that work for something more akin to foreign leftists. That would be Soros .... but wait, Soros IS a foreign leftist.

U.S. leftist are mostly beta with the exception of the black organizations.

I agree to a point. But I do think that given the repression that Trump and the Republicans will do it will drive some leftists to think about other strategies.

Probably, but their strategies will have almost nothing to do with bravery or strength.

Fact of the matter is there has never been a communist army that could stand close to America, let alone toe to toe. Soviet Union army was built by America, that's a fact. The only thing they had was the bomb. We let communist win routinely. That has been part of the NWO plan for a long time.

You think we're going to be scared of some anti-gun vegan bitches Who need safe spaces and get offended at words?
