Chances are, Communist China will find a way to crack down on the protesters in Hong Kong. The violence has been escalating with each passing week. China knows that the U.S. President has no interest in standing firm for freedom around the world, when Mr. Obama has taken his own steps to compromise freedom in America, so what does China have to worry about?
Tyranny and Liberty cannot coexist. When big government tries to impose itself upon a system of freedom, there will be clashes. Statists believe they can impose their authoritarian politics in a peaceful manner, but there is always a segment of patriots that believe in free market and laissez faire politics that are willing to stand up for what they believe, and eventually the system trying to impose their collective view on individuals decides it must be done by force. . . and when someone has lived in liberty, they don't lay down that easily.
Great Britain found out when they tried to impose their tyranny upon the colonists at Lexington Green. The Communists discovered there would be opposition with each of their revolutions. The Chinese are discovering this to be true in Hong Kong.
Tyranny and Liberty cannot coexist, push always comes to shove, and big government always comes to the eventual conclusion it must impose its communitarian views on sovereign individuals by force. That is a dominant lesson from history.
