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.

Pravda has it NAILED!
For the first time I can remember, they are living up to the meaning of their name, "Truth".
See the rest here: American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper

You know your in trouble when Pravda calls you a Marxist.
For the most part right. But also contains standard anti-protestant stuff from an orthodox. He does preface his anti-protestant comments with “for the most part” at least.
Must read? Why? When the author knows the difference between “than” and “then” let me know.
You know your in trouble when Pravda calls you a Marxist...............

Even more so when they are right.
IIRC, wasn’t it the Russians who planned to bring this to our country in the 60’s according to the russian defector who was interviewed in 1985? I have seen the interview posted here from youtube several times.
You would think they would be bragging about it by now.
This is incredible!
I may be dumbed down by a substandard education system, but I know the difference between "then" and "than"...
Look particularly at the last 2 paragraphs: “divest from America”
This is an anti-American piece. With a new twist.
” The “ideology” stuff was only ever there to confuse & disorient. “
O’brien makes that point in “1984”. It’s all about power, and all the stuff about country, loyalty, justice is just a thin shell over the lust for control and power. Think of the future as a boot...
Yuri Bezmenov is the man you are thinking of.
Who would have thought that Pravda would be the place to get the true facts on what is happening in the USA?
What a bizarre world we live in!
Just translate it back to Russian then.
You do understand this was written by someone that did not speak english as a first language, right?
Hugh and series!
This has been the general trend since the New Deal - halted briefly (but in no way reversed) by Reagan's election in 1980. Americans' perception of their own level of freedom exceeds the reality by a great deal.
You’re really in trouble when you need to read Pravda to get the truth.
Maybe Pravda could take over the NYT.
nah- they’d have to change the name from “truth”
I am sure you can read the original written in Russian, you being such a great cunning linguist and all.
