All governing systems e.g. socialism, communism, capitalism, fascism, nazism, "benevolent" dictatorships, empires, monarchies, neo-feudalism, "religious" zealot-based theocracies, oligarchies, and lately AI neo-tech globalism, et alia, are the same at their core if not chained to a fiercely defended Constitution and Bill of Rights. The State grows and eventually becomes all powerful. What it says is absolute. It will dismember any living man or woman or group that offers resistance to its dictates and injustices, however vile or irrational. The People will have very few if any rights, and particularly no rights of free speech or even thought, absolutely no rights to bear arms unless they are devout members of the inevitable brutal police and secret surveillance thugs who enforce the State's dictates. The individual will have very few liberties and must acquiesce in being surveilled constantly and placed by the State in any cog the State so chooses, even if it means certain death or degradation. The fewer a nation has of comprehensive enumerated and fiercely defended Constitutional rights, (i.e. prohibitions of government power), the more certain a nation's government will grow beyond the People's control into a totalitarian nightmare.
Therefore, we must defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights with every ounce of our strength, or watch helpless as our humanity and rights are destroyed.
Real, classical liberalism has been dead a LONG time. When you create a whole philosophy that asserts "human rights come from God", and then remove God, the whole is destroyed. Nietzsche pointed this out over a hundred years ago.
The Left's source of values was slain before we were even born. We've been dealing with skinsuits our entire lives.
