Are Communists (or neo-Communists) Dangerous?

Last Friday night, O’Reilly and Beck had a back-and-forth about communism (inspired by Beck’s takedown of self-proclaimed communist and presidential adviser Van Jones). O’Reilly opined (I hate that word but he likes it, so there it is) that he was afraid of Islamo-fascists but not of communists. Like many Americans, O’Reilly thinks that because the communist party is almost a thing of the past (it exists but is not and will not be big enough to throw its weight around again), the communist idea is dead. It is not.

It’s interesting that we have words like “neo-Nazi” to describe post-Hitler Nazis, and “neo-conservative” to describe liberals who left the Democratic Party when it took a sharp turn to the left, but not “neo-Communist” to describe the massive numbers of people on the left — and among them very influential people — who share, almost to the jot and tittle, the old communist view of capitalism, and are prepared to act on that perception. 

Michael Moore’s new film promises to be a dramatization of this view of capitalism if his communist propaganda film Sicko is any indication). Neo-communists like Moore share the old communists’ antipathy for the United States and sympathy for its enemies, even enemies as evil as Iran and Hizbollah. Noam Chomsky, the self-hating MIT sociopath is a big fan of the Hizbollah and Hamas Nazis, so deep is his hatred for Jews and the United States.

Neo-communism is a view whose members consider themselves “citizens of the world,” not of America, and who therefore agitate for open borders and want the morally repulsive collection of autocracies, slaveocracies and kleptocracies called “the United Nations” to reign over us and the world.

A neo-communist is someone  who believes that America is ruled by corporations who put “profit over people” — and thereby show that they don’t understand either profit or people. A neo-communist is someone who is convinced that race, class, and gender hierarchies make it not only legitimate but necessary to describe America as a “white supremacist” society. Neo-communists believe that a revolution is necessary (if not opportune at the moment), that the Consitution is a disposable document, and that America’s communist and Islamo-fascist enemies (Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Hizbollah, the PLO and Hamas), are freedom fighters or at least on the right side of the armageddon that faces us.

These are views shared by The Nation magazine, by Commonsense.org, by the Indymedia crowd, by the social justice movement, by the majority of the Black Caucus and the Progressive Caucus on the Democratic side in Congress, and by tens of thousands of university professors who indoctrinate their students in these pernicious ideologies every day. They are the views held by the leaders of ACORN, the SEIU, AFCSME and other leftwing unions, by radical feminists, by organizations like MALDEF and La Raza, by the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights who are working to support the Islamo-fascist agenda in America, by the major Muslim organizations including the Muslim Students Association, CAIR, and the Islamic Circle of North America. And I could continue, but why bother? (Those curious enough can pick up a copy of my book Unholy Alliance and read for themselves my views on “The Mind of the Left” and its global struggles.)

This coalition, which I have called the “unholy alliance,” presents a massive threat to America’s security and its individual freedoms and  its free market system, and if someone who has been as gutsy in going after America’s enemies generally (and going after the ACLU in particular) as Bill O’Reilly has still doesn’t see this, we have a lot of consciousness raising left to do.

I refer to all Obots as Neo-Marxist. (Topix Forums)
One would think that calling someone a Marxist would upset them, but no, they all seem to accept the title.

Topix, however, is a real cesspool of human debris from
the far left, but also many right thinking Americans post there to fight them.

If anyone can recognize communism — and its poisonous effects — it is David Horowitz, who was born into the ideology and experienced its horrors first hand.

They are only dangerous if allowed to operate without clear definition. Such as naming the communists. Obama for example is a communist. Why will no one name him as one? Chavez, NBC, Ortega, CNN, Castro, Hillary, CBS, all communists.

It exists as the democrat party!!!

O’Reilly opined (I hate that word but he likes it, so there it is) that he was afraid of Islamo-fascists but not of communists.

It is this sort of comment from O'Reilly that demonstrates how really shallow his thinking is.

The fact of the matter is that communist ideology is infinitely more dangerous to us as a nation than Islamo-fascism. The latter, though difficult to deal with, can and is being fought and controlled by the our military forces and our law enforcement activities. OTOH, we have failed miserably as a nation in our fight against the infiltration of Marxist/Communist ideology into our most important political, educational and cultural institutions. Getting rid of this plague will take decades if not centuries - if it happens at all.

I can’t help but note that it is their side that draws the majority of the unscrupulous World “Players” seeking political cover for their illicit activities.

It would seem to me the Leftists of little to no moral character are deemed by those unscrupulous “players” seeking an outlaw World to operate within as allies.

Drugs, armaments, sex, whatever they can market that isn’t legal therefore isn’t taxed, or regulated other than by catch-me-if-you-can is open to the Leftists as resources for funding.

Criminals, Commies, and Democrats go hand in hand.

Somehow, the Left successfully turned anti-communism into the punch line to a joke about 1950’s America. The moment you say “communist” you’re dismissed as a paranoid nut-job. Ridicule is one of Alinsky’s rules for radicals, is it not?

Does the Sun rise in the East?

Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
   
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
   
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
   
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
   
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
   
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
   
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
   
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
   
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
   
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.

Sounds familiar don't they, even updated for 2009. Those not already in place are being pushed by Obama's 'czars' like Sunstein (Regulatory), Holdren (Science) and my personal fave -- 'Dr Death', Zeke Emanuel. Van Jones was just the tip of the iceberg as to the Commies 'advising' the Kenyan pretender-in-chief.

Nikita Khrushchev was correct, they will bury us from within.
(If we let Obama get away with his commie crap)

Bill (Willie Stark) O;Reilly is a Jackass. I haven’t listened to him in 4 years, and I should have cut him off sooner.

I once toured the "House of Terror" in Budapest, Hungary.

It is a former KGB headquarters building that has been converted into a very haunting museum, which tells the stories about what the fascists and communists did to the Hungarian people.

The things that the communists did to resisters and other innocent people were horrifying.

Yet, so many millions of people vote for communism-lite when they vote democrat.

There has been this idea floating around that they are just harmless cranks.
Flakes, crackpots, dorks, and nerds reading Lenin and imagining themselves
as Communist or Socialist revolutionaries. Now when you meet such types in
college, ranting and raving about the bourgeoisie, it can be amusing.
And the Obama crowd would be funny if they weren't taxing and spending
the country into trillions in debt and bankruptcy. Or talking about doping the
water supply with anti-fertility sterilization drugs for coercive population control.

So the harmless crank thesis doesn't hold up and O'Reilly is smart enough to
understand why. So you have to ask if it was just a comic throwaway line
(poetic license) or a genuinely naïve error in reason and judgment. All you
have to do is read the Alinsky book to see that it is not merely a laughing matter.
Alinskyites and Fabian Socialists writing a federal stimulus bill are not just a joke. A U.S. president schmoozing and hobnobbing with Alinskyites, Fabians, and
Communists (in the White House) may be something more serious worthy
investigating. Particularly when he has given them the national credit card.

I’m really glad Horowitz is back on target. Too bad he lost his focus on the target at a key time and went “moderate” which is another way of saying accomodating Marxism in “bi-partisan” agreement with McCain and Snowe.
