MSNBC's Harris-Perry Seminar: Socialism Never Took Hold in USA Because...Racism
MRC Newsbusters ^ | Oct 21, 2015 | Tim Graham

Posted on 10/22/2015 5:09:23 AM PDT by Maceman

Soopermexican at The Right Scoop found another definitive Melissa Harris-Perry moment on Saturday morning. In rejoicing over how Bernie Sanders is making America safe for socialism (and socialist critiques of capitalism), she asked her panel why America has always been so persistently opposed to socialism. She had a pet theory. Why could that be? Racism, of course. . .

But “racism” is how the left pushes socialism in order to “right” past “wrongs”, it’s only “fair”.

Let’s state the premise of her theory:

White people oppose socialism because of the perception that it transfers wealth from white people to black people.

Let me state boldly and clearly - I’d oppose socialism even if black people were barred from receiving redistributed wealth.

It’s wrong no matter what the racial makeup.

Thanks. It appears Manning Johnson was a “recovering communist” in his later years. Is that the case as far as you know?

One sound, one band, one drone, repeat, rewind.
Hannity?!!


I never have understood how he has a national show.
When I used to hear him he would get his ass handed to him by some liberal guest who made Hannity look like the lightweight he is and he would just ignore the point the guest had just made.
Jamie Dupree openly mocks conservatives and Hannity laps it up like a dog to vomit.

A few of the more infamous socialists include Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler (NAZIs = National Socialist Party), and Saddam Hussein (Socialist Baath Party). Something like 120 million people murdered as a result of their actions.

I just found this little gem, from Manning's testimony before the Committee on Un-American Activities of the U.S. House of Representatives during the 83rd Congress:

Robert L. Kunzig (chief counsel for the committee): Was deceit a major policy of Communist propaganda and activity?

Manning R. Johnson: Yes, it was. They made fine gestures and honeyed words to the church people which could be well likened unto the song of the fabled sea nymphs luring millions to moral decay, spiritual death, and spiritual slavery...

He was apparently a pretty eloquent speaker.

Sounds like the Communist pullers of strings in the Kremlin are now using and fueling Muslim discontent, just as they used the Blacks for the last 60 years.

Socialism is wonderful. Let’s challenge her to give 90% of her income away.

Johnson was a prophet. Read “Color, Communism and Common Sense”, it was written in 1958. It explains EXACTLY what is happening in our Black communites, the destruction of both family & church. The pdf is free online, share it.

You can also go to the Manning Johnson website, they have some nice audio files.

“It wasn’t until 1917 after the Bolshevik revolution that “socialism” came to refer to a distinct stage between capitalism and communism, introduced by Vladimir Lenin as a means to defend the Bolshevik seizure of power against traditional Marxist criticisms that Russia was not sufficiently developed for socialist revolution.[31]”

Just another race hustler. What happens to these people’s brains? She is well-educated, has a white mother, yet can’t come up with anything ever other than racism for the explanation of everything she doesn’t like.

The Z in NAZI is the German word for Socialist. And they were indeed Socialist.

Your one sentence is genius. The Internationalists goal is to destroy Western Civilization (White, Christian, male).

Careful, Tampon-Ears.

If you make socialism about being black, you will turn an entire race into my bitter enemy.
