defensively violent and authoritarian out of self-preservation

LOL

The irony here is that if you actually had two cows in the late 1920's USSR you'd catch a bullet.

That sounds like some classic radical right wing reationary propaganda courtesy of Reagan and Kissinger

Wouldn't owning cows as an individual be a form of theft in the USSR of the 1920s? Wouldn't they be the collective's cows and if you made them "yours" you were stealing?

Doubt it seriously, and no not necessarily as having and owning arent the same thing

Ronald Reagan, famous time traveller.

I did say "classic".. as in inspired by Reagan and repeated ad neauseum by every single radical right wing talk show pundit for the past 43 years
