Here's what it looks like.

Here's what it looks like.

It has so many faces.

It has some figures, too. Like the upwards of a quarter billion people it killed in the 20th Century. And that doesn't even count wars - in many ways the ultimate expression of government doing good.

It is the slogan, the motive, and the means for history's greatest murderers: Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot (socialists all.) And for the last US president, and the current one, and their admirers and apologists.

It's what those who rule us intend to come to your block soon.

So ... what part of government is evil were you having trouble understanding?

Hat tip to Radley Balko for commemorating the 20th anniversary of the above iconic image.
