Pravda: American capitalism gone with a whimper
Pravda.Ru ^ | 27 May 2009 | Stanislav Mishin

Posted on 05/27/2009 5:39:02 AM PDT by Westbrook

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. : : First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. : : Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. : : Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. : : The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

One: You're late to the party for taking me to task over what I wrote.

Two: When I read it, I didn't know it was not originally in English.

Excuse me for noticing bad grammar.

I will never point it out again.

Thanks.

I don't mind being late. I don't mind pointing out bad grammar. I do it myself. Don't let me stop you from pointing it out. I wasn't talking about those things. I just thought it was odd that you wrote the guy off for bad grammar, for whatever reason. People with bad grammar or poor spelling can have good comments. That was my only point.

It is a reprint from a blog-not a PRAVDA original...

DUDE. I realize that. Now.

Maybe using caps will help everyone get off my damn case:

FOR THE LAST TIME, I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A TRANSLATION FROM RUSSIAN TO ENGLISH WHEN I MADE THE COMMENT.

Read carefully:

I'm sorry.

Hear is a partial response to an e-mail from the author of the article. The “Pravda” that the article originated from is not the one the is the Commie Party mouthpiece.

“This is not the same Pravda you are thinking of. Pravda.ru was started in 1999, I believe, and is a semi-nationalist paper. Pravda the printed news paper is the communist mouth piece. Also in most Russian news stands each party has their own political paper, so there are dozen major papers to choose from.”

This helped me understand the striking change in articles, it is literally not the same “Pravda”.

Thanks for the follow-up. It makes more sense now. To have a communist mouthpiece denouncing Marxism would be pretty significant.

Still a very good article.
