The most widely read, most beloved, most instrumental author to the American Revolution died friendless: Thomas Paine, yes, that, Thomas Paine . Now, bring to your mind the magnitude of what he did that became the country known as America. Realize, that America never would have become without Thomas Paine. he was far and away the most widely read author pre revolution in the United States. Think about that. Now think about this: he died virtually friendless. 6 people came to his funeral and three of them were black as I recalled. Why? Because he was against the status quo of rule by the elites. For him the so-called American Revolution was simply I change from a British ruling elite to a domestic ruling elite. The masses remained subjugated. Blacks remained subjugated. Women regain remained subjugated... All by way of plan and intention from the ruling elites. Thomas Paine's very being was against this. This was known. So within moments of the Revolutionary War being won he became pariah, persona non grata, unwelcome, friendless. This is my understanding from an article I posted yesterday from the penultimate scholar Chris Hedges entitled, 'In extreme times liberals are a dead [ absolutely useless ]force.'
