I'm not what you'd call a keen observer of the political climate in our country, but I do pay attention, broadly, to what's going on within our two parties. Watching the latest from Bill Maher, I was reminded of how we struggle to reconcile our support for an idea we might like, if it’s promoted by a politician we hate. And vice versa. Here though, we have an opportunity - Democrats, in particular - to speak out loudly and clearly against an ideology that has been proven, demonstrably, to be a really bad idea.
It’s alarming to see how quickly communism has been embraced by so many, but it's even more alarming, to see how many have yet to condemn it, in favor of sheltering under a “big tent.” This week, Gavin Newsom dismissed concerns over Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and progressive candidates winning key primaries, stating he would gladly campaign for them. He argued that the party must be in the "addition, not subtraction business" to retake control of Congress.
Not that anyone asked me, but…wow. The candidates that Newsom is referring to here are not subtle. They have clearly articulated precisely what they want, and exactly what they will try to accomplish if they gain power. No borders. No police. No prisons. No Senate. From each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities, and so forth. They are literally quoting Karl Marx, and they are literally on the record as desiring to completely dismantle our government and replace it with actual communism. And the Governor of California says he will campaign on their behalf, if doing so will result in a Congressional win. Truly amazing.
Seems to me, that this is best opportunity Democrats will ever have to make some kind of reasonable appeal to Independents, and those not on board with this administration. This is a chance to affirmatively distance themselves from an ideology that has caused more human suffering than any other scheme dreamt up by man. And yet, they have not.
I understand how unpopular President Trump is in the eyes of many. But if the DSA continues to grow in popularity, and the Democrats actually campaign on their behalf, I think it’ll be the largest political blunder in my lifetime. Unless of course, I’m wrong, and the DSA expands to swallow the Democratic Party, and communism winds up on the ballot. In which case, Ronald Reagan’s warning will haunt us all.
“Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.” Ronald Reagan

Democrats can’t distance themselves from DSA because they have always been socialists and communist. I mean this literally, my entire 60+ years of life they have always hid this fact and used lies to gain power in the goal of communism in the end.
Milke needs to take the last step and see the truth of this. We have a uniparty and a rag tag group of politicians who try to be honest and among them many end up succumbing to temptation.
You have a visa for two years and you stretch it to five years, then you had a good run. Now, it’s time to go home.
They may be quoting Karl Marx but they’re worshiping Mao.
Mike has been asleep. There is nothing shocking about the DemonRats showing their true colors. Or color RED
Ronald Reagan tried to explain it during his famous A Time For Choosing speech. It’s never been about left or right, it’s about up or down. DemonicRATS have been trying to drag America down to the ash heap of history for 80+ years. It’s now reached critical mass. They call it a cultural revolution. It’s actually societal devolution.
Labor Unions have been the incubator for Communism for decades. Their high unholyday, Labor Day, is coming up in a few weeks. I’d love to see President Trump and/or Congress change the name to Free Enterprise Day and extol the virtues of Capitalism.
Don’t you JUST love it when every new wave of morons ‘discovers’ Marx...as if THEY found the Holy Grail!!!
True...
Reagan believed the U.S. should counter Marxist expansion through
military strength while supporting global anti-communist movements.
>>They may be quoting Karl Marx but they’re worshiping Mao.
Mao wasn’t strident enough for them, Pol Pot is more the DSA’s style.
Socialism/communism are nice thoughts-everyone working together to help each other. In reality though, there are many who will not work and expect you to work for them. This is when the work camps and such come into play.
Dictator is a Latin/Roman term for leader with absolute authority.
From the Google:
Ancient Roman RootsConstitutional Office: In the early Roman Republic, a dictator was a temporary legal position.
Crisis Management: The Senate appointed a dictator with absolute power only during severe emergencies, such as a military invasion.
Strict Time Limit: The office lasted a maximum of six months, after which power was supposed to return to regular magistrates.
The Turning Point: The role lost its temporary nature when Julius Caesar was named dictator perpetuo (dictator in perpetuity) in 44 BC, changing the political meaning forever.
Post # 12 covers it
Great point. But while they choose suicide for themselves they choose murder for me. So it’s the difference between murder and murder-suicide.
The Original Dictator was removed by the Roman Senate by stabbing Julius Caesar 30+ times.
