American Communism Must Be Eradicated
American Thinker ^ | 14 Nov, 2025 | William Manning

Posted on 11/14/2025 6:08:48 AM PST by MtnClimber

After the 2024 election, there was a vast right-wing clamoring for an inevitable realignment favoring conservatives. Political gravity would force the pendulum of political history to the right, the liberal media would be shamed into something resembling unbiased fairness, and woke policies would shrivel and die on the vine. The results of the November 4 elections make it clear that the demise of the progressive-liberal nexus is greatly exaggerated.

Democrats, socialists, and liberals of all stripes enjoyed good election results, but it would be a mistake to read this as anything more than a normal off-year election. Since 2000, the party that won the presidential election the previous year lost the gubernatorial election in Virginia and New Jersey. The only exception is the 2021 New Jersey gubernatorial election, which the Democrat incumbent won after Biden’s victory.

There is evidence of a political realignment, but the realignment favors the far left.

Gallup has been taking an interesting poll since 2010 that evaluates Americans’ perception of capitalism and socialism. A positive perception of capitalism among Americans has slipped 7% since 2010 from 61% to 54% while a positive perception of socialism has improved slightly from 36% to 39%. If you look deeper into the poll, you can see evidence of a realignment within the Democrat party.

[Poll results don't post properly]

In 2010, Democrats were evenly split, 51-50%, in their perception of both systems. In 2025, 66% of Democrats liked socialism, up 16% from 2010, whereas 42% viewed capitalism positively, down 9%. This isn’t shocking news in view of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

The socialist realignment of the Democrat party has reached critical mass. Mr. Mamdani represents this realignment. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and other socialists in Congress and scattered around various states.

The liberal media has no shame.

The public school system must be eradicated. Every time I see complaints about the ever growing desire for communism in the US, I just think about all the Marxist teachers working to churn out masses of stupid little commies.

communism is making a comeback with the youth, because we failed to teach an entire generation how evil it was! the Nazi’s killed 8 million the commies killed over 100 million. How many school kids know that?

“American Communism Must Be Eradicated”

Sounds easy. American Communism has never had all that big of a footprint.

Let’s try American Progressivism Must Be Eradicated? The U.S. has had at least 10 progressive presidents and countless senators/congressmen. Very few of which people would label as commies.

Yes. It is a yuge task to eradicate totalitarians from the planet. The mind virus has infected a lot of our yutes. The long march through the universities and the madrasas to the mosque has made inroads into their thought processes.

School choice has become a theme in the past half-decade. Homeschooling, in particular classical homeschooling, will produce life-long learners who know how to think, how to judge between bad ideas and good ones.

In short, exactly the kind of citizen that governments don't want.

Psychology: why do some people still believe in and support communism?

Intelligence + knowledge + experience prevents acceptance of liberalism/leftism

Too bad nobody reads Churchill anymore:

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

Because in the corrupt K-12-university system, socialism/communism is taught as something desirable, without going into the death, destruction and misery it has caused.

Get rid of the Dept of Education. Jimmah Carter created it and the results were catastrophic from the get go.
