Letter: Stop the anarchy

By Alva Goossen, VANCOUVER

America, beware the anarchists! This is how the Communists started in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1907. They protested the czar with marches, vandalism and violence. By 1917, they violently overthrew the government.

Anarchists like to take advantage of upset people to use them for their own purpose. And don’t kid yourself. The Democrat Socialists (that is what they called themselves) of a century ago were not all that different from the modern Democrat Socialists (as Bernie Sanders calls himself). Nationalizing all wealth-producing institutions is their way to level the field of all classes except the ruling class. They will have all the wealth and everyone else will be poor.

The Democrat Party leaders have the responsibility to stop this anarchistic uprising.
