Duh! This is how you bloodlessly convert a free nation into as communist one. $8/gal gas, $500 power bills, $10 milk, mandated insurance coverage along with flat wages or lowering wages and you can begin to offer some subsidies to those who play along. Even the working class eventually has to take the money to keep a roof over their head and food on the table.
The poor are already there. We lament about the 40% who don’t pay taxes and the professional welfare recipients constantly here. One household at time, the free American will fall until the middle class, called the Petit Bourgeois by Marx, ceases to exist.
Then, there is no one left to defend the capitalists and the real revolution begins. The playbook is short and to the point. We need to start calling them out as the communists they are and stop dancing around the truth, afraid to call a spade a spade.
The left has been very effective with their charges of “McCarthyism”
in shutting up anyone that correctly identifies their
ideology and goals as communist.
