The World’s Been There, Done That. It Wasn’t Pretty.

Marxist Theory: Communism is simply the final stage of socialism, i.e. stateless, classless, moneyless utopia. Socialism, meanwhile, is the transition period after the revolution, during which the state’s wage, labor and monetary exchange will still be necessary. Thus, socialism and communism are not separate ideologies. In Marxist theory, they are just different stages of the same process.

244 years. That’s how long the American experiment has lasted to date. We Americans continue to operate the nation the rest of the world wants to come to...not run away from. 103 years ago the Marxist experiment began in Soviet Russia. It ended miserably in 1991. I think it’s now very apparent to any reasonable adult that communism ranks as one of the great disasters of all humankind.

“The goal of Socialism is Communism.” –Vladimir Lenin

–Vladimir Lenin

Eventually, after the Soviet Union became the first communist nation, billions of people throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America would all suffer, and millions upon millions died under ruthless communist rule. The reality is that communist nations basically consumed themselves, with Communist China at the top with 60 million and counting dead, followed by Communist Russia with at least 40 million murdered, starved and tortured to death. I acknowledge that Communist China is still up and running, but the human rights record of the regime is horiffic. Thhey send out the message that communism has morphed into something somehow different, but those few in charge of the party rule with heavy-handed and complete control. Then take a look at little Cambodia. Only eight million citizens, and fully two million of them murdered from 1975-79. Cuba and Venezuela, both failed communist states, continue to murder their own citizens. Meanwhile, the bosses at the top...and only that very small handful of bosses at the top...hold the money and power. Everyone else wears the title of exploited and enslaved “proletariat”. The reality is all very far removed from what Karl Marx wrote about.

“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”

–Thomas Sowell

Enter the rumpled and groovy hipster Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The great socialist revolution he and the “progressive” left wing of the Democratic party outline in their “Biden-Sanders Socialist Manifesto” is nothing new. But they tell us that this time, it’s going to be different.

But hold on a minute...when old Bernie talks about socialism, he says he’s not looking at Cuba. Nope, he’s looking at the new wave of socialist countries like Denmark, Norway and Sweden. What? Wait. Those nations are not socialist states. Denmark even went so far as to send it’s dignitaries over to personally refute Bernie’s statement.

Those countries have moved far away from socialist policies because they didn’t work in today’s competitive world economy. Seems they discovered that the people of a nation must have incentives to work and be productive to get ahead in this world. I truly think Bernie does not understand that. He just revels as the cool socialist point man to the young kids of America who come out of our universities full of Marxist leanings embedded by Marxist teachers. Nothing more than a retreaded hippie.

“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”

–Ayn Rand

Enter Joe Biden. I’m not exactly sure what Joe stands for. He’s pretty deceptive. I listened to him tell one person that we don’t deserve to know. Well...OK. We do know this: Joe had to embrace the far-left socialist wing of his party to get the Democrat party bosses communal nod.

I’m guessing he’s smart enough to know that’s not going to play well with most critical thinking voting Americans. So Joe just tells us he’ll answer our questions later.

I find it highly unlikely that the moderator of the debate this week will allow President Trump to raise the question on anything having to do with Russian and Chinese money funneled to the Biden family through his son Hunter.

I also know that if we were repulsed by Hillary Clinton’s acidic and toxic nature in 2016, we don’t feel much better about Kamala Harris as the “next one in line” when Joe, if elected, most likely fades away by some means in the not too distant future.

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

–Thomas Jefferson

A big part of the deal with the new and improved socialist revolution crowd within the Democratic party is to dismiss and reject our founding fathers who achieved and worked to create the wealthiest, most fair, most free and most charitable nation in the history of mankind.

They have tagged those founding fathers with all the ugly words of the day: racist, rapists, users, abusers. They weren’t perfect; none of us are. They remain great men to me.

Propaganda. Control the news source, and you control the people. Comes right out of the old 1950’s Commie playbook. Say it enough times, and people will believe it.

Before you can take something away from someone, you must first vilify them, and therefore, you can justify why you’re destroying what they achieved.

Actually, it comes down to a basic human nature I suppose. If someone has something you want, you can do one of three things to get it: Work hard, and you can have one too. Steal it, and hope you’re not caught and go to jail. Or, you can take over the government, rewrite the laws, thus making what was once illegal, legal. Then you can take it all.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

–Winston Churchill

Surely, this nation will not allow the far-left radicals who control the Democratic party to take away our first and second amemdment rights, or “invest” trillions upon trillions of tax-payer dollars on their Green New Deal, while at the same time completely wrecking our economy.

Don’t think I’ll vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Karl Marx was one of the greatest haters of them all. He laid out the communist/socialist blueprint in1848. Seems 172 years later, haters still gonna hate.

Karl Marx

Never ran a company

Never held a political office.

Never oversaw any accounts

Never even held a job - any job

Supported throughtout his life by his friend Friedrich Engles, the son of a wealthy factory owner.

All applications of his theories have ended in complete, miserable and horrific suffering.
