The Left's Contempt for the Masses

Marxists don't just feel contempt for ordinary people; they want to enslave and, if necessary, kill them.

Karl Marx is often portrayed as the hero of the masses. After all, he believed in the creation of a "worker's paradise" following the temporary reign of the "vanguard of the proletariat" — that small, highly educated, elite group that would rule in the interests of the workers until such time as they were capable of ruling for themselves. In Russia, that was 73 years and counting.

Wherever a Marxist revolution has taken place, that "vanguard" has decided that its reign should be permanent and in its own interests. Communist elites enslave workers just as the Democratic Party does in cities like Baltimore and Chicago. In communist states like the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and communist Cuba and Venezuela, small bands of communists seized power but refused to cede it. When the people protest, as they are now doing in Cuba, they are met with force, hauled off, and imprisoned or shot.

Communists pretend they are the wave of the future. Actually, they are a throwback to the outdated system of absolutist monarchy that was abolished in most of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Marx was not a brilliant thinker — he was a stubborn fool who turned his back on democratic capitalism, the most successful and humane system in history. That's why he found a following in backwaters like czarist Russia and post-imperial China. Communism has never appealed to those with deep-seated democratic traditions because they recognize its authoritarian nature and its threat to freedom.

Now the Democratic Party has been seized by self-proclaimed Marxists who plan to establish a permanent Marxist state in America. Democrats believe they must move quickly

“creation of a “worker’s paradise” following the temporary reign of the “vanguard of the proletariat” — that small, highly educated, elite group that would rule in the interests of the workers until such time as they were capable of ruling for themselves.”

Last week, Biden delivered a bizarre address in support of the so-called “For the People Act,” which presumes to take away the discretion of state legislatures over elections in their states. President Joe Biden described as “vicious” the recent voting laws passed in Georgia and Texas, saying they were meant to “intimidate poll workers.” The president condemned the proposed laws of these two states as “21st-century Jim Crow.”

Biden hearkened back to the violent days of the student riots of the ’60s when he reused their battle cry: “The whole world is watching.” Then, Biden shouted a call to action: “We must act!”

Frankly, this is a call to violence against elected officials if Democrats’ political goals are not accepted. In the context of the riots in cities this past year, this speech seeks to legitimize the arson, assaults on police, and destruction of property we have just experienced.

...All this is bad enough, but then Biden said his duty was to stop “enemies foreign and domestic,” with his emphasis on the word “domestic.” This statement went beyond the insults and became a threat. Biden was telling his audience, including a television audience, that his political opponents are “domestic enemies....

...I never thought I would hear my president characterize me, or any other political opponent, as a “domestic enemy.”...
