The “Socialism 2017” conference is rolling into Chicago next month and more than 1,500 professors, authors, students and activists are expected to attend and strategize systems to “fight the right” and resist the “political system that spawned Trump,” and build the left from a “Marxist perspective.”
Some of today’s most controversial anti-white, anti-Trump professors are headlining the event, which boasts more than 100 workshops committed to tearing down our country, “building a socialist society,” and covering the debates on the left along with the hidden history of working-class and socialist struggles.
In layman’s terms, the conference is predicated upon stripping down America, its values and its history and recreating and rebuilding it as a socialist country.

This nation is funding it’s own destruction. Future historians will shake their heads in amazement.
This conference should be held in Caracas, Venezuela.
Pyongyang would be just as appropriate.
The darkened clouds of totalitarianism are growing ever larger.
Many people who have thought this way for decades are thrilled to finally remove their masks and be counted
as American Communists-in training.
Perhaps they can be convinced to retreat back into the shadows. That would only happen after enough were defeated, defeated at the ballot boxes, on the school boards, in the media, in the health care industries, and when necessary, on the streets.
There won’t be any history if they are successful in destroying the country.
Love the screen name. That’s actually the same B-58 Hustler lifting off, presented multiple times - they made it look like it was 6 planes in the Turkey One strike group.
Take off and nuke the conference from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Very true, to the victor belongs the history books.
I remember the GO code from that movie and from “By Dawn’s Early Light” - IF memory serves
Alpha, Golf, Hotel, India, Delta, - authentication is Sierra, Foxtrot
Move it and the UN to Harare, Zimbabwe.
The link in my tagline is to an old booklet from 1939, and talks about FDR and the New Deal. It is still very much the blueprint these 70 years later.
Excerpt (I cut out a LOT. But the entire booklet is very interesting):
PROBLEM THREE TO MOBILIZE BY PROPAGANDA THE FORCES OF HATRED
“We must hate,” said Lenin. “Hatred is the basis of Communism.” It is no doubt the basis of all mass excitement....
The first principle of all is to fix the gaze of hatred upon one object and to make all other objects seem but attributes of that one...
Therefore a number of different internal enemies must always be regarded as one in such a way that in the opinion of the mass of one’s own adherents the war is being waged against one enemy alone. This strengthens the belief in one’s own cause and increases one’s bitterness against the attackers.... And the purpose of revolutionary propaganda “is to arouse hostile attitudes toward the symbols and practices of the established order.”...
It may be however that people are so deeply attached by habit and conscience to the symbols of the established order that to attack them directly would produce a bad reaction....
For example, if the propagandist said, “Down with the Constitution!” — bluntly like that — he would be defeated because of the way the Constitution is enshrined in the American conscience. But he can ask: “Whose Constitution?”... He can ask: “shall the Constitution be construed to hold property rights above human rights?” Or, as the President [FDR] did, he may regretfully associate the Constitution with “horse-and-buggy days.”
The New Deal’s enmity for that system of free and competitive private enterprise which we call capitalism was fundamental. And this was so for two reasons, namely: first, that its philosophy and that of capitalism were irreconcilable, and secondly, that private capitalism by its very nature limits government....
To have said, “Down with capitalism!” or, “Down with free private enterprise!” would have been like saying, “Down with the Constitution!” The attack, therefore, had to be oblique.
In his first inaugural address, March 4, 1933, the President said: “Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay. has fallen;... the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no market for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return.... Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance.... Nature still offers her bounty. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods have failed,... have admitted their failure and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money-changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.... They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers.... Yes, the money-changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.”
There was the pattern and it never changed. The one enemy, blameable for all human distress, for unemployment, for low wages, for the depression of agriculture, . for want in the midst of potential plenty — who was he? The money-changer in the temple. This was a Biblical symbol and one of the most hateful. With what modern symbol did this old and hateful one associate? With the Wall Street banker, of course; and the Wall Street banker was the most familiar and the least attractive symbol of capitalism.
Therefore, capitalism, obliquely symbolized by the money-changer scourged out of the temple, was entirely to blame; capitalism was the one enemy, the one object to be hated. But never was it directly stacked or named; always it was the old order that was attacked. The old order became a symbol of all human distress. “We cannot go back to the old order,” said the President. And this was a very hateful counter symbol, because the old order, never really defined, did in fact associate in the popular mind with the worst debacle in the history of capitalism.
It was never the capitalist that was directly attacked. Always it was the economic royalist, the brigand of the skyscrapers, the modern tory — all three hateful counter symbols. The true symbols of the three competitive systems in which people believed were severely let alone. The technique in every case was to raise against them counter symbols. Thus, against the inviolability of private property was raised the symbol of those who would put property rights above human rights; and against all the old symbols of individualism and self-reliance was raised the attractive counter symbol of security.....
I'd like to challenge every attendant to that conference, as a prerequisite to admission, to first name a single real-world "Marxist" society that actually functions.
What would be the most-common response? Perhaps that "Marxism is right in theory, and morally superior, but failed in execution - because the 'People' weren't 'good enough' for it?"
Regards,
This is the democrat base. They will splinter the party before 2020.
These are our Marxist enemies in academia. Take names. Follow their careers and writings, antics, and screeds. Now is a good time to start going after these corrupters of American minds. Tucker Carlson has been bagging a bunch of Marxist, black racists and white lunatics through his show.
He’s need backup. Don’t let the Marxists and their BLM and Palestinian jihadist support groups rule and ruin our campuses.
MAKE COLLEGES SAFE FOR SANE EDUCATION AGAIN!
I DARE ANY OF THOSE SOCIALISTS TO SHOW WHERE SOCIALISM HAS WORKED

Actually, Chicago is just perfect.
