No, the Civil War was not about power, not in the sense you mean. It was about Southerners expecting with Enuff Jesus they could reverse the tides of time and preserve a Slave Power that was accustomed to everything going its own way. Then Grant led his first attack against them and it was downhill for them from there.
There are people in my local atheist group who don't drag religion into things as much as you do.
It was absolutely about power - the power of the Southern states to do as they wished against the power of the Union to not let them do that.
Now tell me another one. The Leftists in the literal sense all have an end goal of anarchism. In fascistland in the Bright Shiny Happiness of the future there is only war.
And you don't see the relationship between the anarchist war against so-called organized power and fascism? Anarchy is decidedly fascist - it's fascism with a power vacuum, where it's no longer a central authority telling you what you have to do, but a powerless void doing so. Anarchists never really think that through, but do anarchists ever really think?
