When socialist regimes fail, suddenly leftists call them 'right-wing'

Jack Dorsey just condemned the Chinese Communist Party. Will leftists start redefining the Chinese communists?

It's one of the anti-liberty left's neat little tricks to rewrite their constant failure. Socialist regimes never fail; they just suddenly become "right-wing" and "reactionary"!

Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, recently tweeted out a three-word message to end the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), apparently due to its authoritarian and oppressive policies. Anti-liberty leftists can no longer turn a blind eye to its surveillance state and the deliberate mass murder of millions.

Unfortunately for the liberticidal left, this presents a big problem, because for years, leftists have been touting the reds as the model for how every nation should be run. They just ignored the inconvenient facts of the People's "Liberation" Army shooting people during the Tiananmen Square massacre.

It presents several big problems for the Bolshoi Artists of the anti-liberty left. We're here to "help" and explain it all.

According to Marxist doctrine, after a certain amount of time with everyone steeped in the awe-inspiring ideology of collectivism (Bolshevism, communism, fascism, Fabianism, leftism, Maoism, or whatever label you have for your societal slavery), a wonderful and incredible transformation is supposed to take place.

Rewriting history is a specialty of the left.

Amazing how Tiananmen Square just disappeared down the memory hole. It was the only story on the news for two months in 1989.

Do they even teach about it today in history classes?

I posted this on another thread this morning where some twit was slobbering over the beauty of the Communist Chinese Subway system:

************************************

Leftists love Communist China and want to emulate it. Even some on this very forum.

It is great when your name is Walter Duranty, and you are getting plenty of perks from the Communists to paint their activities in a positive light, but it isn’t so great being a Kulak who is either shot in the head outright, or forced to eat a piece of flesh cut from the starved corpse of Uncle Vlad’s calf.

Just pisses me off. We have learned NOTHING from the 20th Century.

Oh, this is the new, modern, updated form of Communism found in China. It will work if we do it right.

No, it won’t.

It is still Communism, the single most blood-drenched ideology in the history of mankind. It may have a nice velvet glove on, to fool the West, but underneath, it is still the blood drenched fist of Communism.

We damn well better recognize that and not forget it.

One of the greatest con jobs of all time has been the conventional wisdom that German National Socialism was right-wing.

It may have been right of Soviet Communism, but it was left of just about everything else in the history of the universe.

There’s no such thing in the USA government as “right wing”. That’s a European term meaning “big government right”.

Here we have limited government which is not right wing, that’s constitutional. Our government takes an oath to uphold the constitution, so they would then be considered “right wing” or liars. Which is it?

There is no “right wing” per se’ here in the USA.

Also “not true socialism”

Because the only “troo” socialism is a lofty utopian goal that can never be obtained.

Sure, so long as you freely want to do what the Chinese government is forcing you to do!!

It’s very much like 5-year-old transvestites! That boy is wearing a dress and makeup because HE chose to drive himself to the store, HE decided to shop in the girl’s section, and HE used his own hard-earned money to purchase those dresses and makeup!!

Five-year-old transvestites are just like vegan pets...people with functioning brains know who is actually making the decisions!!

Good ol’ PJ O’Rourke knew precisely of what he spoke.

He understood this all too well.
