The Signs of our Socialist Times

The future of our civilization is under threat from those who are trying to dismantle our cultural heritage. There is much confusion as to why we are at this point in our history and what is behind the radical social changes that are flooding our institutions. The cause is a spiritual sickness called "socialism."

The rise of socialism has followed a curious trail through modern Western history. Feminist, trade unionist, and eugenics movements of the early 20th century were succeeded by the "flower power"[i] generation of the 1960s. From this hallucinogenic, shallow mindset of anti-war and free love came our original virtue-signalers and their preachy pop music.

Today, we recognize socialism's chosen people by their overt "wokeness" and feigned moral superiority, which is their primary weapon for killing off our culture. Their utopian goal is a dehumanized world that either bows to their will or dies, both of which options are much the same thing. Woke virtue-signaling is contiguous with the human penchant for self-justification in that it proclaims that the cause is for the common good of all. However, the woke cause diminishes the common good through the callous destruction of the individual and our cultural history. It is rooted in hubris.

Taking Igor Shafarevich's four pillars of socialism, we can see more clearly how these woke political and social constructs have been driving the utopian agenda. By comparing Shafaverich's analysis with modern culture and institutions, we are able to establish the status of Western culture in relation to socialism. These programs attack individual sovereignty, and subsequently, they aim to reduce humanity to a homogenous nothingness.

The abolition of private property: One of the most powerful global wealth controllers, the World Economic Forum (WEC), has openly declared its commitment to socialism under the "Great Reset."

I am surprised by those who are parroting the cultural marxism....from school children to CEOs.

Ending personal responsibility is a major danger leading us on the destructive path to socialism.

School children and CEO's have both been propagandized.

Children by their unionized teachers and CEO's by their boards and Equality/Social Justice Managers (backed by the boards).

The problem with socialism in the U.S. is that its foundation is silly and unworkable (i.e., gender/sexual confusion and Wokism).

When Wokism and gender/sexual confusion run up against reality, reality has a bad habit of winning.;-)

Perhaps the best indicator America has of its descent into socialism is the general public acquiescence to this, the most overt socialist political agenda in the West's history. The COVID-19 response has not so much been an escalation of socialism, but is instead a result of the world we already lived in.

The servile acquiescence to all of the “COVID” tyranny is one of the most sickening things I have ever seen. For the first time in my life, I understood how Hitler was able to do what he did. I learned that the vast majority of people are weak, fearful, irrational imbeciles, with no ability to see ten feet down the road, no ability to recognize a slippery slope as they run headlong in absolute panic and fear over the top of it.

When will they (Dems) officially end the “pandemic” for political gain?
