Let’s separate the facts from the fiction with respect to the U.S. Democrat party and communism as dictated by the philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
The bible for the political and economic ideology known as communism is the Manifesto of the Communist Party (the “Communist Manifesto”), written by Marx and Engels in 1848. In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels set forth their philosophy that calls for the organization of the proletariat into a class, which then overthrows the bourgeois, secures political power, and imposes a communist system of government based on Marxist principles.
An examination of the core principles that permeate the Communist Manifesto is enlightening.
A major principle in the Communist Manifesto is the idea of “oppressor and oppressed,” which Marx and Engels largely saw as the battle between the proletariat, or working class, and the bourgeois, which might be thought of as the business owners. Marxism sees the bourgeois exploiting the proletariat. I believe that for much of the 20th century, the Democrat party tried to use this philosophy to secure power in the U.S., but ultimately, the Democrats failed, because the working class in America was far better off and therefore less susceptible to manipulation than the same class in the 19th-century Europe of Marx and Engels. Recognizing its failure, during the latter years of the 20th century and even more into the beginning of the 21st century, the Democrat party pivoted from exploiting a class dynamic to utilizing a race-based approach, which application is more suited to the composition of the U.S. population.
In addition, the “oppressor and oppressed” dynamic is played out in the relationships between labor unions and management, where the Democrat party has historically supported labor. I always wondered how labor could legally organize, whereas management was prohibited from organizing

The objective of the cabal that operates the puppet-strings of Obama, Biden, and Harris is the destruction of the USA, which of course is the great bastion of the bourgeoisie.
Some Democrats and their supporters probably do not realize that they are supporting the destruction of the USA and the establishment of a totalitarian communist state, but the cabal certainly does.
Karl Marx proclaimed that once the bourgeoisie were completely eradicated, a world-wide communist state would be established--and that then (a MIRACLE would occur and) all government would (MIRACULOUSLY) disappear because no government would be necessary for the workers' world-wide paradise since everyone would be supremely happy. Anybody who falls for this malarky is nuts!
The Al Gore Environmental Zoombies that were forced to watch his movie every year in high school will happily cast a vote for Jill Stein. I love how the Democrats are boomerang idiots.
The problem with Mao, it was embraced in a homogeneous society where the U.S. is a melting pot. In order to have a cultural revolution, over half the country must die. With the 2nd amendment in place, I don’t see that happening.
One point in the article I wanted to highlight-it may seem minor to some, but I hear this A LOT even in the right-wing media- it’s NOT the DEMOCRATIC party, but the DEMOCRAT party! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DEMOCRATIC ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY! This grates with me- it’s as bad as “clip” vs. “magazine”, no, it’s even worse, because democrats are dishonest and want to destroy democracy.
Totally agree….
Democrats don’t know which end of a clip to hammer a nail with.
The dictatorship of the proletariat is necessarily oppressive. They’re supposed to ease the transition to true communism...a Stateless and classless society...and then surrender power. Riiiiiight. People being people, the communist dream never got any further than that. It’s a pretty easy transition to fascism, and oligarchy, though.
Right! Dangerously delusional.
the D party hasn’t merely MET communism, it has EMBRACED it
The Democratic Party today has little or no resemblance to the party of JFK or even FDR and has whole heartedly embraced communism. I blame the deep state for pushing Democrats to the far left as an all powerful controlling state is their goal. Elitism has also been the hallmark of Democrats who view those not of the elite ranks as bitter clingers and deplorables who are too ignorant to make even the basic decisions in their lives and must have those decisions made by the enlightened elites. It is telling that RFKJr and Tulsi Gabbard have abandoned the Democrats to embrace Trump’s populism while the Cheney’s, Romney and deep state lackey RINOs are siding with Harris.
