The values that allow advancement in a society are often described as "Western values." They are not "Western," "Chinese," or "Catholic." They are universal values and no more "Western" than 2 + 2 = 4.

What did people think the Far Left meant when they said they intended to smash the state, smash the patriarchy, tear down the institutions of religion, family, and academia?

What were they thinking the government was really up to when investigations were being made into Soviet KGB influenced Communist cells in America making inroads into the State Department and media?

Those are good examples. But, IF, the Left really got all they wanted then Cuba or North Korea might be better examples.

Total control of the people all the time with the elite living a pretty good life.

The Urchin in N.K. isn't missing meals, the Castros aren't missing meals, Bernie isn't missing meals, etc.

The Mission district of SF and the homeless encampments of LA and the bad parts of Chicago give us a pretty good idea. It's not a coincidence that these are all the beneficiaries of liberal government.

De industrialization and globalism will kill the USA’s middle class and with that, the end of the “good times”.

Check out San Francisco and Seattle and any other Democrat-ruined city.

Reading the article leads one to the conclusion that nowadays those values are Far Eastern.

You win first prize! A one-week vacation in downtown San Francisco!

Second prize, as you know, is a two-week vacation in downtown San Francisco.

And you also will receive a supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat.

Good post, my view is how far down the road we are.

People will spend a great deal more time figuring out ways to put food on the table and keep the roof over their heads. This will be very difficult in urban areas. Those in fly over country would be a little better off, basic gardening skills will be extremely valuable.

As the Chinese proverb says about “cursed to live in interesting times”, it will be very difficult.

Pray for guidance.

We are fortunate to have lived during peak civilization. The world has been a slaughterhouse throughout history.

“fundamental transformation” ALERT!

Haven’t seen a Groove Tube reference in forever. Saw that one at a drive-in theater.

Yes, imagine Detroit from sea to shining sea.

As the cities fall into darkness--Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York--and the national parks are taken over by gangs and drug cartels--and large swaths of the American countryside fall to crime and lawlessness--and the roads and power grids fail, leaving large areas in literal darkness--and ancient diseases return: smallpox, cholera, plague, typhoid, leprosy--and armed gangs and thugs prey on the American people in their homes--schools close down--universities become hubs for gangs, professors murdered, no students--all law enforcement fails...Americans flee if they can--form militias...

Who rises to establish order? The worst and most evil of psychopaths--welcomed because anything would be better than the anarchy!

And what will foreign powers do? Exploit America's natural resources if they can--ruthlessly oppress whatever population remains in America--seize huge chunks of America for themselves...

It's an old, old story.
