"When, at the age of twelve, at the time of the Russian revolution, I first heard the Communist principle that Man must exist for the sake of the State, I perceived that this was the essential issue, that this principle was evil, and that it could lead to nothing but evil, regardless of any methods, details, decrees, policies, promises and pious platitudes. This was the reason for my opposition to Communism thenand it is my reason now. I am still a little astonished, at times, that too many adult Americans do not understand the nature of the fight against Communism as clearly as I understood it at the age of twelve: they continue to believe that only Communist methods are evil, while Communist ideals are noble. All the victories of Communism since the year 1917 are due to that particular belief among the men who are still free." ~Ayn Rand
"It is the Communists intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by becoming successful" ~Ayn Rand

Communists are bottom-feeders and will win ONLY when we let them.
We are in the process of letting them win.

"It is the Communists intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by becoming successful" Awful close to the democrat dogma of politics that statement is.

Not yet. They are being exposed daily despite the communist media propaganda. Don’t give up the ship.
We are infested with them but they do not have a long half life.

It’s interesting that it was the rich kids in university that fomented the October Revolution, not the workers ....

...and like all the best lies, it is all the stronger for having a little truth mixed into it.
The simple fact is that personal success CAN be achieved at the expense of others (and all too often is), but it does not HAVE to be. The communists greatest ally is our own greed and lack of love for our fellow man.
