11. I'd take it even further back than that

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.




I'd take it all the way back to the 1920s when they attacked and broke up the labor unions because of their heavy Communist presence and convinced the American public that Business Growth was the way to go.

By the 1950s, when they pounded the final nails, I think that's when our doom was sealed. If we'd still had strong populist organizations, the structure would have been there to organize and fight back in 2000. In fact, it never would have gotten to 2000.
