Tea Partiers of the World, Remain Individuals
Reynolds links to a Nick Rizzuto piece titled Tea Parrtiers of the World, Unite!, which ends this way.
An international liberty movement is an idea whose time has come. As a matter of fact, it is one that’s long overdue. We are truly living in interesting times.
Rizzuto, himself, in the very first paragraph of his piece, provides the historical reason as to why tea partiers should remain individuals, because as a group, united tea partiers would succumb to the same detriments to civilization referenced.
In the winter of 1847, The Communist League met in London to sketch out a platform for the international communist movement. Previously, the communist movement was made up of disparate factions of various national, ethnic, and even religious flavors. What emerged from this congress of communist revolutionaries was a united movement. Following the meeting in London, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels took up the task of forging the preeminent radical polemic of the international socialist, the Communist Manifesto. Their movement thenceforth, and to the detriment of civilization, moved forward as a united international juggernaut.
