From a Time When Communism Was Taught Right
American Thinker ^ | 25 Nov, 2022 | Kent D. Worley

Posted on 11/25/2022 4:42:15 AM PST by MtnClimber

The rush to communism and the New World Order must be exposed for what it is. We have no farther to look than the guides from the past.

When I was a senior in high school, I was required to take and pass a government class as a condition to graduate. My teacher was a retired Illinois state trooper. Naturally, my teacher had certain opinions about the criminal justice system and the courts. My teacher was not a big fan of the Miranda decision. His issue was not against informing a suspect about his rights; it was more about how the landmark decision was used to invalidate many good arrests on picayune issues. He complained that career criminals, especially murderers, would have their charges dropped by weak judges for matters not related to the arrest.

With this particular teacher, things were black and white, either right or wrong. There was no middle ground. I think that because of his law enforcement background, he was also very anti-communist. He spent minimal time on the U.S. and Illinois Constitution, but we painstakingly labored over the Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and The Gulag Archipelago. We spent several weeks reading and discussing summaries he passed out in class.

The final exam was even more intense. We spent a whole month reading various accounts of Russian MiG pilot Victor Belenko's life under communism and his final decision to defect to the West. Each of us in the class had to read the newly printed Reader's Digest condensed book on the subject. We had to read and become familiar with MIG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lieutenant Belenko. We had to read about his childhood, his education, and his interactions with party officials and their inane attempts to convey how wonderful life was under the regime.

“Bottom line is there are humans on this planet who would murder half the people in the world if they could. Many of these people become abortionists so they can murder “legally” to satisfy their blood lust.”

Yep. But it is more than just abortion. Everything they do is geared towards culling. Supporting gay relationships because they cannot breed. The climate agenda to eventually cull by causing hypothermia and heat exhaustion, A medical industry that would rather harm you than help you, Etc.

Dig into every aspect of their agenda and behind it all the links in the chain are geared towards culling as the inevitable result. They have planned well, and much of it is already in place and cannot be stopped.

It is similar, but slightly different with new twists.

“The BRICS team intend to create an alternative option for all the other nations. An alternative to the current western trade and financial platforms operated on the use of the dollar as a currency.”

The crap we did with the US Dollar against many countries for purely political purposes basically set in motion the end of the Dollar as the international reserve currency. Most of the world now realizes that they could be the next Russia and have $300B stolen from them, with just a few keystrokes in DC.

Schools and the media have been mainly leftist for all of my 64 years.

So communism and capitalism are both dead.

Instead, we have socio-fascism with a 'woke' veneer.

I have a daughter who lives deep undercover in Minneapolis.
She says it's not uncommon to hear from other acquaintances about what their jobs will be in the new socialist utopia.

Apparently, art curator for the gulag is quite common.

But unscrupulous types who want to subjugate the world.

Indeed in the 60’s it gained momentum Jane Fonda was just one of the spokes person for it.

THE REASON COMMUNISM HAS FAILED IS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE FAILED TO EMBRACE IT.

Mark Levin’s book American Marxism covers it well.

“Some pseudo-intellectual twatwaffle at our universities can fool a bunch of muddle-headed teenagers and potheads, but they can’t pull anything over business men and women, laborers, and other victims of socialism or communism.Why aren’t these kind of folks on CNN/ABC/NBC/PBS/MSNBC every month, telling their tales?”

I just got off the phone with a very nice Spectrum (cable/internet company) lady about a problem I was having with my remote control and other potential change of service problems. Somehow or the other our conversation ranged far and wide from the initial problem I had called about. We hit if off; I live in FL and she lives in CA.

After I was pretty sure she was a conservative by things she was saying, we compared States, and as she had once when younger lived in the free state of FL, she said she missed it (she lives in San Diego, CA). Our conversation turned to politics; I told her how I originally lived in IL for many years, and escaped to FL 4 plus years ago.

We agreed that both CA and IL were political cesspools; she said she would love to someday move back here to FL if given the chance. Her husband is an American Airlines pilot based in CA, and her family (parents, brothers/sisters,children, etc) all live there so the odds of getting back to FL are slim.

We were discussing the similarities between Dem (Socialist) control of both IL and CA, and she said she knew all about Socialist/Communist ideology and those stuck living under it. Her parents (her Dad is a Frenchman and her Mom is Cuban) met on a Cuban beach before Cuba went Commie; they got married, lived for a time in France and would visit her Mom’s parents that still lived in Cuba upon occasion.

They kept an eye on the coming Fidel Castro movements to overthrow the Cuban gov’t, and her mother’s French husband said we better go back to visit your parents as it might be the last time you will see them for a long time. 25 years to be exact. They visited her mom’s parents in Cuba and shortly thereafter Fidel took power, and all lines of communication between her Mom/Dad and her Mom’s parents in Cuba ceased. They didn’t know if her Mom’s parents were alive or dead.

Finally after 25 years they were able to track down their parents and reestablish contact in Cuba. Her Mom’s daughter (Rose) whom I was talking to, hates Communists as do all of her family. So yes, we should hear as many stories as possible over the Media and via talking to those we meet whose parents, friends or themselves have escaped from Communist countries.

I have a lady who helps me with housework during the week. She was from Bulgaria that was once a satellite state of Russia and thus under the Russian Communist political orbit. Her Mom’s brother was against the Communist control of Bulgaria and his views came to the attention of the local Commie political bureaucrats. His immediate family was uprooted, and they were forced to move to an obscure part of Bulgaria away from where he had always lived near their family friends and relatives. She too hates Communism for what they did to her mother’s brother.

We need all the living testimonials we can get by whatever means, but that won’t be easy as our MSM by and large, schools, Big Tech and even the medical professions are now chock full of indoctrinated socialists brainwashed by our socialist educational institutions, and I’m afraid life in our increasingly socialist paradise is going to get much worse before it gets better unless we fight back tooth and nail to save our Country.

The real fight isn’t Left vs. Right, or Communism vs. Fascism/Nazism, it is Collectivism (which encompasses everything from Nazism to Fascism to the various forms of Socialism and all the way to Maoist Communism) vs. individual liberty. All of the former view the individual as utterly subservient to the “people” or collective or the state, and the individual thus has NO rights at all. I know this from my family experiences under both the Communists and Nazis, both of which murdered members of my family. I hate ALL collectivists with a burning passion, no matter the slogans they utter, the uniform they wear ir the flag they fly, they are all scumbags on a par with slavers.

Yep.

People have NO CLUE what is coming, because they don’t know their history. Individual rights, are rare as hen’s teeth in History, and rare around the world today.

Notice the verbiage used often “Human Rights” by the collectivists - it’s a sleight of hand. It sort of sounds the same or looks the same, if you squint, but it’s a scam. Divide and Conquer - you only have rights if you’re part if a group.

In the West, that means being part of a “protected” victim group. It has reached absurd levels, each vying for the “I’m More Of a Victim Than You Are!!” as they struggle for power and money on the Approved Victim Hierarchy.

I’m pretty sure that’s where the transexual thing is getting a lot of mileage. A White Male, Persona Non Grata with this One Neat Trick, can at least partly assuage the Sins of Being White and Privilege by donning the yoke of the Oppressed. Sacrificing your children to this beast gets cool points too, I guess.
