That is an interesting question which for over a century now, here and around the world, there seems to be no easy answer. The communist Democrats, or socialist democrats or marxists, communists, aka “progressives” are everywhere in our society, at all levels of GuvCo, our institutionalized GuvCo school system and all unionized corporations. All of these have become theirs.
Conceptually, you aren’t fighting individuals or organizations, but rather an ancient ideological infection that seems more of science fiction/horror fantasy and looks and acts like a blossoming epidemic or plague. There is, lacking of a better description, a supernatural quality about this ideological infection that can’t be ignored.
Believe it or not, we were warned about the rise of this marxist strain of the infection at Fatima, along with being warned about a second world war. The warnings were essentially shelved, not shared. They were not discussed, nor were they allowed to be studied as intended, and the warnings ignored came to be. We had WWII and we have seen the plague of this marxist infection spread across the post WWII world.
We, the now righteous victors over the Axis, still faced this same enemy, which had infected and killed Russia to become the USSR. Our Soviet ideological enemy at that time knew that we would not be defeated on the battlefield and that any one-on-one physical war would end with nuclear annihilation.
They also knew of their own bloody struggles Borging and assimilating their neighbors and needed a better, less damaging way to beat our white cell resistance to the red disease that had infected them.
Far better to take a page or two from Sun Tzu and find ways to tap into our psychology and manipulate our behavior via our beliefs and emotions.
The fittest survivor is not always the physically larger and stronger. No matter how fast and powerful the hardware, a little bug in the software will bring it down.
Convert enough hearts and minds and sooner or later your enemy will demonstrate the ancient wisdom that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We broadcast Radio Free America from the outside, but they countered with a long term plan from within.
Interestingly enough, that bug our enemy planted here killed them before it got us and now our roles are being reversed, as they recover while we succumb.
The Soviet Union was spiritually dead the moment it was born and set about removing all religion from itself. The Soviets and their USSR then died when the church there was reborn instead, and Russia soon arose from those ashes.
Step away from the tree and look at the forest. Remember the greater story we were born into and the nature of the players?
One is a master of deception and the best tool for infiltration is to look and act like something you’re not. This is true for the AIDS virus, for Trojan horses in literature or on the internet and on and on, but especially true for people in positions of trust.
We lo-info political consumers seem to have no defense against that tactic, especially when the disease controls the info allowed in our national dialog.
We can only hope for the country’s survival.
Excellent post, GBA!
And Paul Ryan who couldn't apologize for it fast enough in the VP debate with Plugs.
Another problem is the right wing talkers like Limbaugh have not referred to them as socialists and communists. They are called democrats.
That is apparently changing recently since I heard Howie Carr calling them socialists and communists last week.
This socialist takeover of the democrat party should have been obvious many years ago. As Ronald Regan said I didn't leave my party they left me. - Tom
Thanks, great column!
I have believed for quite awhile, that the Obungler is God's judgement on America.
Concur. We shall never understand the trajectory of our history until we see the evil that was unleashed in 1860.
Thank you, Huskrrrr!
THAT would be a better scenario than what I see. I see us morphing right past that. At least the average Joe was bought off with generous time off and an overall no stress or struggle way of life in Europe. Granted, no risk, no upside, no dreams, etc. But, that was the trade off.
I see us as in constant struggle just to survive. Expected to work like dogs to feed the state and the welfare hordes. Living with the constant threat of violence, gangs, drug infestation. A technocratic tyranny on the level of the Hunger Games.
I would say your entire list would be invalidated if conservatives just had the guts and willingness to fight. And I don’t mean in the metaphorical sense. I don’t mean fight by printing fliers, wearing buttons, and campaigning for yet another RINO. I mean, at the least, when some lefty spouts off in front of you - you punch him right in the nose. When governments get oppressive, whether city, county, state or federal, you show massive open defiance and aggression in the streets. Instead, the right uses the language of the weak and suicidal: “But we’ve got to go to work in the morning and “if we do that we’re just like them.” We’re not just like them - they’re winning.

I honestly don't think it will be that bad (not that I think it will be good!). Euro-style socialism does, in a sense, "work"...if you live in a western European country, there is a basic standard of living below which you will not be allowed to suffer. The flip side, of course, is that income is redistributed to such a degree that (as you point out) the entire income curve is leveled, suppressing innovation and the risks that accompany it.
The problem with imposing it here in the US is that there's already a substantial underclass, largely race-based. Bringing them up to the average European standard of living would require such a massive redistribution of income that the economy would undergo great harm.
I think the end result will be less like Sweden on one end or The Hunger Games on the other, and more like Greece & Spain. A rotten economy where the masses are constantly striking and begging for more benefits.
Let's split the difference and agree on Argentina? (:
Yeah, I could see something like that happening here.
What a foolish statement.
Why do you go out of your way to ramble on and on and on about how they are not communists?
Money-grubbing and communism are in no way exclusive.
All the evil leftists you mention are absolute control freaks. They desire ABSOLUTE power over us.
All the leftists you mention worship at the Alter of State Power.
All the evil leftists you list are communists and when push comes to shove, they would not hesitate to have us eliminated...
You need to open your eyes and not focus money, money, money (like most at the DUmp).
Did you even look at what you wrote before sending it?
“Money grubbing and communism are in no way exclusive.”
Then you haven’t read Marx. I have. To communists, real communists, they are exclusive.
You don’t even know the proper label to use with these people. If anything, they could be labeled fascists.
You’re just another dupe. Try to stay up with the game.
BS It started with Wilson (who was basically a Dixiecrat) and the so-called "Federal" Reserve (which isn't federal at all). Lincoln died keeping the foreign banksters out of the US. Wilson let them right in and it's been foriegn entanglements and creeping socialism ever since.
Yes! The root of the problem.
Wilson ran for the governor of New Jersey and was a progressive all the way from there on out.
