What we have seen over the past decade, especially since Barack Obama opened the doors to Marxism, is a diversion from democracy (the republic) and embracing communism. It’s a much slower transition where the population is accustomed to freedom rather than tsarist rule, monarchy or dictatorship, but it has happened.
In order to move on, one must recognize this period as an aberration, a moment when the United States flirted with an alternate form of government and found it to be oppressive, in violation of privacy, speech and other rights inherent to Americans.
ReplyDeleteStarted with the Magic Negro? Maybe it became more apparent then, but some say America's slow slide into Communism really began with the Ruski revolution in conjunction with WW-I around 1917 and the historical evidence seems to back it up. Prior to and after WW-II loads of Ruski academics came to the states and were imbedded in higher education over the next decades. They're power grew and the education process rapidly shifted from basic education to Marists dominated indoctrination. And now here we are in 2025 where millions believe trannies are just fine to compete with women, hundreds of judges think illegal alien violent criminals have more rights than your average American and the Chinks can fuck us over economically with all the plastic crap they make with slave labor.
Bugs..... You sir are 100% correct with your assessment of the situation

Try 1848 with the failed revolutionaries fleeing Europe....the War of Federal Consolidation was greatly affected.

Well done, bogs. Ditto what JD said. Too few people have the knowledge of history to see it coming on from that far back.

What gets me it they came from a failed country but still thought it was better than the free market economy that had beat theirs and gave them a home. Nuts.
ReplyDeleteAs always, TL Davis hits it on the head. I agree with Bugs that Obambie was not the start, Woodrow Wilson gets that vote ala 1913. Obambie did cause the lid to be removed revealing the mass of rot though
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no later than 1913 based upon known history, and I'm open to the idea that the leftist rot set in even before that.
DeleteCommunism is, at heart, lazy envy. That is people too lazy to work envious of others who have more. Sloth, Envy, Greed 1/7 deadly sins. It sounds good to anyone who has no clue of human nature.
DeleteOn the other side, if you look at America pre WWII there was a lot of looking out for one another. Read Louis Lamore's Diary of a Wandering Man. Many Americans, during the Great Depression, had communist leanings. They saw it as a way for everyone to help look out for one another.
At the end of the day, we need a blend. Capitalism works as long as property rights are protected. It is also important to place limits on the government. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, but Caesar gets 10%, not 50%. Do not allow the government to take care of the indigent; that is the job of churches or other volunteer associations. Such associations should be limited in size. Look at the national groups such as the Red Cross or even the NRA. They attract rouges to leadership to bleed the organization for their rich lifestyle. I've help found a volunteer organization and no one gets paid. No one, do it because you believe in it. And if you think the government needs to help the indigent, just look at where it has gotten us. Even if Trump manages to clean it up, check back in 30 years to see how its going. Full troughs attract the swine.
The only good communist is a dead communist.
