How Dare He Pick on Communism?
American Greatness ^ | 17 May, 2022 | Bruce Bawer

Once again, Florida’s Ron DeSantis proves he has all the right enemies.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, you just might be named Ron DeSantis.

Let’s recap. On April 22, the Florida governor signed the “Stop WOKE Act,” which, in the words of USA Today, “prohibits any teaching that could make students feel they bear personal responsibility for historic wrongs because of their race, color, sex or national origin.”

The law was necessary because, as you can see in any number of YouTube videos of school-board meetings around the country, young children have indeed been taught, in accordance with critical race theory and other poisonous postmodern pap, that if they’re white or male they’re oppressors, bearing guilt for the actions of long-dead people who looked like them, and if they’re black or female, by the same logic, they’re victims.

Six days later, DeSantis signed the “Parental Rights in Education Act,” which forbids kindergarten teachers in Florida from talking to their pupils about such topics as masturbation, ejaculation, and oral sex—an act his enemies dishonestly dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

This law was necessary too, because, as you can see in other videos (many of which have been curated on the “Libs of TikTok” Twitter account) young schoolchildren are indeed being taught all kinds of things about sex that nobody, until the day before yesterday, would have considered remotely appropriate.

Then, on May 9, DeSantis signed a third bill. It designates November 7 of each year as “Victims of Communism Day” and mandates that schoolchildren in Florida be taught about Communism for at least 45 minutes a year.

Why are students taught that Hitler was evil, but not Mao, Lenin or Stalin? Because he was a socialist that fought the communists in Germany? Because he attacked communist Russia?

They won’t touch Mao, Lenin, or Trotsky.

But you will see them trying to pass off the lies that only whites are innately racist, that when they came to the new world they found Native Americans holding hands and singing, not enslaving, and committing genocide other natives, not enslaving other tribes, etc, but the lands instead were full of unicorns and rainbows.

And they also try to pass off the lies that before whites there was no mass enslaving of blacks by Muslims and no invasions of Christian lands by Muslims from the 8th century on and that numerous African tribes did not mass enslave, weren’t involved heavily in the slave trade, and everything since then is whites trying to hold everyone else down.

And it’s wayyycist to say otherwise.

Because of Hitler's chosen method of very visible genocide. The others killed people in their millions through starvation and "disappearing" them. Also, Hitler lost the biggest war in history (to date) while Lenin was dead long before WWII, Mao came to power in the immediate post-war period, and Stalin was on the winning side.

Hitler was also tagged as "right wing" supposedly because of Germany's nationalism even though he was just as much a philosophical child of Karl Marx as Mao, Lenin, Stalin and a host of other genocidal individuals.

Remember that Lenin’s carcas is still on display in Moscow in the Masoleum right next to Putin’s residence.

What does that have to do with Florida or Desantis?

Anyway, I knew.

Secondly, Russia isn’t communist. You must have heard that on CNN if you’re thinking that.

Third, Putin gave a major speech not long ago where he stated that liberalism, Fascism, and Communism are all failures, and that the best route to take is for a societal return to Traditionalism.

Good question. First thing Hitler did when he took power was take out the Bavarian commies! Maybe that’s why he’s their hated enemy!

Look up “Communist Symbols at Russian Victory Day Parade”. Also, Lenin is still on display in Moscow. And the Communist Party Russian Federation endorses Putin’s moves in Ukraine, as well as most international Communist parties.

Putin also says that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst thing that happened to Russia.

<>Also prohibited is anything “about being gay.<>

Nonsense. Happiness isn’t prohibited.

Probably because he thinks it led to this:

“Ukraine conflict has been ‘westsplained’ enough. On Gravitas Plus, Palki Sharma tells you how Western arrogance & NATO’s expansionism are also to blame, how their actions precipitated the crisis in Ukraine.”
