Occupy Wall Street: Communism’s Clueless Foot Soldiers

Norman Thomas, a U.S. Socialist Party candidate for president, once famously said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Thomas ran for president six consecutive times from 1928. He needn’t have bothered as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and subsequent Democrat Presidents introduced most of the planks of the Communist Manifesto and we live with them to this day.

The Occupy Wall Street youngsters are the latest foot soldiers of Communism, though it is likely most are too ignorant to realize it. They have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in government schools and by Hollywood and the media that they have no idea how they are being used by labor unions and other leftist organizations.

The protesters are likely unaware of the misery and murders Marx’s Communism imposed on Russia courtesy of Lenin, Stalin, and those who followed in their footsteps. Mao’s Red China murdered thousands as well in the pursuit of the “equality” that is the alleged goal of Communism and liberalism.

In 1848, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote “The Communist Manifesto.” Marx never held a job in his life, living off of donations from Engels and others. He failed miserable at every enterprise he tried, including publishing newspapers.....

Freaks Of Occupy Wall Street

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

The useful idiots in and among this bunch of astroturf should realize that Obama has received more $$$ from Wall Street than any elected person in the past 20 years:

BOA, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup.... Wow.

Obama and fellow Dems make the GOP look like amateurs when it comes to this. Dems are for the little guy and the common man? Yeah, sure. Sarc.

[Flintlock]

YO!
What part of ‘USEFUL IDIOT’ don’t you understand?

[3Fingas]

Yup — useful idiots and fellow-travelers.

[Texas resident]

Wonder what the usefull idiots will do when they figure out that they are now in their permanant homes?
Bet they won’t be so hopey changey when it’s 20F and spitting snow.

[phockthis]

I’m waiting to see it snow on them as well...LOL

What cracks me up about this whole manufactured protest movement is that if you rounded up all these losers and put them in one place they would not equal the numbers we had in most single tea party events last year.

These people are pathetic whiners and whatever legitimate complaints they may have about corporate America are completely undermined by their commingling of these complaints with disreputable class warfare Maoisms and Marxist sloganeering.

The protests unfolding before our eyes are part of the coming upheaval necessary to deliver America over to Marxist control.

Cooperation of the authorities in politically correct times are making it easy for OWS to foment the Revolution.

Tomorrow protesters will flood Manhattan restaurants dawdling over coffee until New York City crews can clean the park they have called home these past three weeks. (See update at bottom)

The same mayor who courted Ground Zero Mosque principals is doing the politically correct thing for Zuccotti Park after the park’s owner made sanitation concerns a priority.

In other words, New York, already picking up a $2million tab for police protection during the protest, will first clean up their mess and then allow the protesters to move back in.

“Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, had outlined its concerns in a letter to the city’s police commissioner, Ray Kelly.” (Fox News, Oct. 12, 2011).

“The company told police that it had received “hundreds of phone calls and emails” from locals complaining about “lewdness, groping, drinking and drug use, the lack of safe access and usage of the Park, ongoing noise at all hours, unsanitary conditions and offensive odors,” NBC New York reports.

Mothers with babes in strollers, who, unless something stems the persistent march to Marxism, will see their children grow up in a world nothing like the one they were raised in.

When OWS first assembled in the public square on Sept. 17, they deliberately presented a face of vague mission and even more vague intent. They showed themselves to a largely uninterested mainstream media conducting collective Yoga and face-painting activity.

Within weeks they had fanned out to 26 other cities on an add-to list.

Now some protesters openly admit that violence will be necessary to achieve their goals.

The mindless chant of protesters echoing the words of speakers has escalated to “Long live revolution!” “Long live socialism!”

The revolution now upon us began last Spring in the Middle East.

That was when the revolution, bubbling a long time beneath the surface, took on significant dimensions: the far-left ganging up with the Muslim Brotherhood.

In America, the Revolution in the Parks paves the way for the re-election of Barack Obama, who has admitted to a mission for the total Transformation of America.

November 6, 2011, marks one short year to 2012 elections, if circumstances don’t see elections suspended.

Americans are entering the Last Mile period in real time.

Class Warfare manufactured from the White House with the help of ‘progressive’ predators willing to turn to violence will make it the Longest Mile in modern history.

I still don’t understand this knee-jerk reaction. Aren’t there posts here today about how bad TARP was? Isn’t there a guy up above saying how Obama got more money from Wall Street than any other guy? So why the instantenous anger over people being mad at Wall Street?

I once characterized the GOP as the party of Big Business and the Democrats as the party of Big Finance. Big Business wants no interference in its job-outsourcing, wage-lowering, healthcare-denying, pension-ending profiting; Big Finance was government to force people into more debt, government-run 401ks instead of Social Security, and acceptance of bigger bonuses for bankers.

We the people get screwed by both parties. I am thinking that maybe the Tea Party is an awakening on the right to a general sense of unfairness and loss of regular citizen wealth and power, while the 99%ers are the same thing on the left. One thing is clear - we the great mass of Americans are not doing well. We have too much unemployment, and too little money. But those on Wall Street and spread throughout the country in their mansions are richer than at any time in history. Those rich people don’t care about unemployment; in fact, they benefit (scared workers are cheaper and more pliant).

See http://www.businessinsider.com/occupy-wall-street-is-now-twice-as-popular-as-the-tea-party-2011-10 . People are mad on both the left and right. It is not necessarily a bad thing. The 99%ers are undirected and random, but they have this one sense that we need to be better at a nation in supporting our people, not just our corporations (which are doing just great - CEOs got 24% in raises in 2010, and 28% in 2011).

There is danger in conservatives ignoring the groundswell of support and anger. There is a potential benefit in a joining together of Tea Partiers and 99%ers.

[TruConservative]

There is this problem in saying: those who complain against Wall Street must be communists.

There are a lot of people who are mad at Wall Street who are not communist.

Their conclusion, at reading your post, is not “Gee, I must be a commie.” No, their conclusion is “Conservatives are lackeys without good brain power.” Right now, at least, the 99% movement is supported by over half of America, and opposed by less than a quarter (http://www.businessinsider.com/occupy-wall-street-is-now-twice-as-popular-as-the-tea-party-2011-10 ).

If you start saying Americans are a bunch of manipulated useful idiots, you risk a backlash against conservatism. It is much better to say they have a point, but we need to direct the anger in a productive fashion.

It is better to direct the flow of a flood, than to stand there and try to hold it back.

While I do not think the attempt at a world wide Communist government and revolution is something to be taken lightly or dismissed, I do think we have several variables that are different than previous successful communist revolutions.

One, these people do not know suffering. On their list of goals they actually list having to choose btw paying the rent and buying groceries. Likely, none of these kids have ever really been in this position. If that is their idea of suffering we are certainly dealing with a soft underbelly. They aren’t united under the context of building something better as the Soviet revolutionaries or Mao’s red guard. The closest I can come to as a united goal is building an eco-utopia. We can see from the filth and utter mess they are making of their surroundings, even this doesn’t motivate or unite them.

Also, different is the free flow and availability of information. This can work for and against us. However, this isn’t 1917 where people only had very limited access to education, history and real time events. Millions of people have seen that image of the young malcontent defecating on the police car. Whether this will break in our favor remains to be seen.

That said, the one thing they are counting on – is the silent majority to sit back and do nothing. If you are successful, if you have assets, if you have a nice life – these people are gunning for YOU. It will be YOU they peel from your bed and your stuff they confiscate. Sitting idly by and waiting for this to unfold, at some point, may not be in your best interest.

If their movement was just about anger over bailouts and corporate irresponsibility, I would say they have some legitimate complaints. However, their movement has many other dimensions to it about which I don’t agree. The same old collection of Leftist dogma — redistribution of wealth, class warfare, demands for more government spending, “give me free stuffism”, etc.

Read some of their signs and you will know that these people are not just Americans filled with righteous anger over crooked bankers but many are professional agitators or clueless, slothful students, repeating Marxist propaganda. I think there are some issues that can bring people of differing political views together, but these protesters are completely opposed to everything we in the Tea Party value. We want limited government. They want a cradle-to-grave nanny state. We want reduced taxes. They want to soak the rich (the definition of who is rich changes all the time.). So, even disregarding their scruffy appearance and lack of sanitation, the OWS people have very little in common with the Tea Party. In fact, I would say that they are the Anti-Tea Party.

This is what I am scared of, and you can tell me I am crazy if you want. Conservative think tank CATO routinely produces a list of "freest economies." On the top of that list, are Communist-Chinese Hong Kong and Shanghai. On this board, I have had people tell me that China is more capitalist than America. CATO is the group that provides a lot of the supportive arguments in favor of low taxes, low regulations, and increased power for businesses.

Here is a photo of the Chinese "Factory of the World." The workers are color coded for task (these are the yellows in the foreground, there are also whites and reds). Here they receive their morning indoctrination. To me, this is a 1984-style frightening dictatorship.

I learned about tis from a documentary "Manufactured Landscapes." Inside the factory, these many thousands of workers do their tasks in complete silence (speaking is forbidden). One woman was assembling circuit breakers that I recognized as being identical to the circuit breakers that we buy at Home Depot. Home Depot co-founder billionaire Kenneth Langone is one of Mitt Romeny's biggest financial backers.

We have had a meeting of the minds of captialists and communists, and the evolution of an economic model of great wealth among the few, and little wealth, or power, among the many. Of the nations on Earth, Communist China's Hong Kong has the greatest proportion of weath among its top few, and Shanghai is #2. The USA is #3 on that list ( http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/107980/countries-with-the-biggest-gaps-between-rich-and-poor ).

I really think that if we don't fight back, we will end up like those Chinese peasants - politically powerless, beholden to our employers, with no free speech or options, too poor to send our kids to college, too afraid to unionize, simple drones in a beehive. That, to me, is a far greater risk than any communist take over; or rather, that is the form in which communists will take over. Only now the communists are indistinguishable from our capitalists.
