Communism Never Died, It Was Cleverly Repackaged for the Historically Impaired and Useful Idiots
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/22/17 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

“For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog. For many people in the West, it is still a living lion.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In 1950 Congress passed the Internal Security Act and, four years later, the Communist Control Act. It condemned communism and the Communist Party of the United States. Today a sizeable portion of Congress actually belongs to the Communist Party U.S.A. or is sympathetic to it. In a recent poll, 40 percent of Americans prefer communism to capitalism.

We need to make it a habit to refer to leftists as “Useful Idiots.”

Communism doesn’t die because it’s a great con for the young and naive. The cure is education in history, which is why commies take so much effort to erase and rewrite history.

That’s funny. Whenever seeing one of those commercials with the Mrs., my last remark is; See, the package is new and improved, but smaller!

And not only Communism:

“When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself anti-Fascism. My own belief, more than once set afloat from this spot, is that it will take us, soon or late, into the stormy waters of Fascism. To be sure, that Fascism is not likely to be identical with the kinds on tap in Germany, Italy and Russia; indeed, it is very apt to come in under the name of anti-Fascism.”
- -H.L. Mencken (1938)

Not only that, but I make it a point to tell the libtards that the term “Useful Idiot” was invented BY THEIR OWN SIDE, to refer to their own supporters that unwittingly help them take control.

Actually, combine them into “Historical Idiot”. Guarantee you that 99% of them will scream back they are not hysterical! Never mind not having the intellectual capacity to remember to address the latter.

The Communist Party of China is the ruling party, of the single most populated country on Earth.

We run a MASSIVE trade deficit, with China. Absolutely huge. And it is growing, every single year.

Communism is winning.

We say:”Whatever it says on the package is never true.”

Do you suppose the copy writers know how many viewers mock their presentations?

Exactly why they can’t fight it or hijack it. But if we don’t start using it everywhere, they will hijack it anyway. Like fascist.

On principle, I detest the "royal" or metaphorically royal "we," specially from ignorant, tiny, delusional mentally crippled individuals.

I can prefer something and even share the reason "why" if asked, but beyond that it is really annoying.

having said that I refer "alt-left."
First of all because I understand they (antifa, etc) hate the label, and I also like it because it includes "useful idiots" of every variety.

Just look at the advertisers list during ironing board time and consider that question. Yea, I know that can be considered sexist but there is a reason The View is on when it is and why The Five is moving back to 5. No disrespect to Jesse and the Gut.

When the Soviet Union fell, the West dropped thier guard. We thought the threat was over, instead the idea of socialism spawned.

40% is a dangerous number. This is going to take a massive reprogramming effort. 8 years might not be enough to reverse the damage.

When you owe the bank a 100K, they own you. If you owe them 100B, you own the bank.

President Trump fully understands this concept and is using it as leverage.

Communism is socialism with a gun at your head.

I believe it was Lenin that said, the goal of socialism is communism.
