Why Are Leftist/Socialist/Communist Regime Prone To Violent Endings? (Vanity)

Posted on 08/14/2009 4:14:48 PM PDT by Ptarmigan

I have noticed that many leftist/socialist/communist regimes end in bloodshed. Well save a few, like Poland. Any reasons why that happens and why the end in bloodshed?

Nazis Germany-World War II Soviet Union-Christmas Day Coup Fascist Italy-World War II. Benito Mussolini was executed and hanged in public. Salvador Allende-September 11, 1973 Coup Communist Romania-Nicolae Ceauşescu got executed Baathist Iraq-America invaded Iraq in 2003

The people had no Constitution to hang on to. We do. And most of us will defend it to the death when the time comes. Like those who have gone before to whom we “OWE” it.

Because their regimes are predicated on the use of force.

As the rosy promises of utopia evaporate and reality takes over, people have to be forced at gunpoint to work. It goes downhill from there.

The left eats its own. “There can be only one.”

And the devaluation of human life. To 'progressives', communists, socialists and all totalitarians, people are things. For al ltheri rant and rave about their 'concern for people', it's all in the abstract, when it's not an outright lie.

Think about what lies behind the mass murder, enslavement and poverty these regimes invariably create. You'll find a pedigree of ideas, as I've mentioned in my Fourth of July 2009 Tea Party Speech. Ideas matter.

I have lived in Communist countries. Communist regimes, having a monopoly on power over the country, engage in unfettered POLITICS for supremecy over the Party. Rightest, leftist, revisionist, splittist, whatever they call themselves, it will always end badly.

And the dictators are forced out at gun point. Just look at history at all the dictators. Either gun point or knives.

I suggest you educate yourself by reading Henry Makow’s archive articles:

Because they haven’t figured out that HUMANS cannot create a utopia. Still pretty dense after all these years of trying.

These people take over the country in such a totalitarian way (e.g., Hugo Chavez) as to leave no other way to get rid of them other than sufficient violence.

Then, might I ask how the current administration and its policies strike you?

Because they are rabidly insane. Just like a rabid animal. It must be put down.

Obama is Communist-lite, in that he has the same fantasies of Govt control over the masses and belief that he can re-make human nature, as well as the same tactics - but he hasn’t really killed (yet?) in pursuit of his goals, which is what truly seperates the men from the boys at the top of true-Communist ranks.
