What Berry, Erickson, and Lindsay have in common, whether intentionally or not, is that they effectively act as communist tools. Communism can't be understood without understanding the Dialectical Progression, where the Overton Window only moves Left, assuring an inevitable

and while none are actual conservatives, all want to be gatekeepers for the RW. They will viciously attack any who try to move the Overton Window to the Right, or who may be willing if it becomes necessary to meet force with force.
