-—That wasn’t inspiration I felt when I returned from the Vietnam War and realized I had been killing the wrong Communists.-—


Amen, 199th Light Infantry weren’t called ‘Redcatchers’ for kicks, and I agree with your sentiment.

The movie Reds is one of these lapses into commie nostalgia. While it occasionally mentions some problems the movie is essentially a love letter to the American left and how they reacted to the bolshevik revolution.

Marx drifts around to his point in Chapter 5 :

"The sum of the values in circulation can clearly not be augmented by any change in their distribution, any more than the quantity of the precious metals in a country by a Jew selling a Queen Anne's farthing for a guinea."

It's important to remember that the NY Slimes absolutely LOVED Stalin. They actively hid Stalin's acts of brutality and starvation in The Ukraine.

The hippies of the ‘60s were sure inspired. I remember some starting communes to “live the good life” - fell apart quickly because they discovered that too many lazy deadbeat leeches made it untenable for the rest....

It inspired them so much that they had to change the moniker Communist because they were actually hated so much to what they are now known as Progressives

Yep. And this is what is behind the farce of climate change, agenda 21, and rewilding.

Keep this in mind as we approach Labor Day.

Labor Day is not a celebration of Joe Sixpack's work ethic. It's an homage to Communism.

Labor Day is the only "holiday" on which I do not fly the flag.

I'd like to see President Trump change the name of Labor Day to Free Enterprise Day.

THAT should cause mass aneurisms.
