Let's Call Them What They Are: Communists
American Thinker ^ | 21 May, 2023 | John Green

Posted on 05/21/2023 4:42:40 AM PDT by MtnClimber

There are forces determined to destroy the American experiment (and they're not white supremacists, Joe). The most dangerous are attacking from within. They're using asymmetrical warfare to attack socially, economically, and ideologically to compromise our system of governance and bring about a new vision for America. Unfortunately, they use identifiers that hide their real intent. I've been struggling with what to call them.

In my writing, I've tried a lot of names for the "fundamentally change America" insurgents. Many don't work because they are literally incorrect. I hate distortions of the English language. One can't win the debate of ideas if the words of the debate don't have static meanings. Other labels are just inadequate in describing the threat.

A "liberal" is someone who stands for liberty. That is literally the opposite of what our "liberals" stand for. They use cancelation and censorship to quiet disagreements. They distort the law to crush dissent. They use moral relativism to break our sense of right and wrong. They don't deliver liberty. They deliver oppression and corruption.

"Progressive" doesn't work much better. A progressive is supposed to be a person who values progress. But those operating under the progressive banner have

- created conflict in the name of social justice,

- destroyed our prosperity in pursuit of ecological justice, and

-used wildly out-of-control spending to buy our way out of problems that actually require human development.

In the name of "progress," they have delivered social strife, criminal chaos, and economic collapse. They haven't delivered progress — only regression.

Even though I use it a lot, I don't like the label "leftist," either. "Left" is a navigational instruction, not an ideology. Going left isn't an act of evil, but leftists are evil actors. It's a distortion of the language, meant to hide the agenda...

They are not Communists.

They are vote-buying, hate-filled scumbags.

A key principle of Communism is:

“Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen”

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!”

Our RINOS are the genuine proponents of that. The McCarthy plan would place work requirements on Medicaid/SNAP/TANF receipt.

“The complete paragraph containing Marx’s statement of the creed in the Critique of the Gotha Programme is as follows: ‘In a higher phase of communist society...after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!’”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability,_to_each_according_to_his_needs

“French utopian Étienne-Gabriel Morelly, who proposed in his 1755 Code of Nature ‘Sacred and Fundamental Laws that would tear out the roots of vice and of all the evils of a society’, including:

I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.
II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.
III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws.’”

Joe Biden, Bernie $ander$ and Elizabeth Warren will never be fully on board with that for million$ of reason$.

What they should be called is dead.

Until they are dead and removed from the control they presently exert, there is no America.

There is no law

TYRANTS. Communism is a tool used to gain power. It is forced on the masses the tyrants want to control.....They don’t live as subjects of communism.

Abso—frigging—lutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is about time we were calling them out on exactly what they are. Evil hates the sterilization of daylight, and the clarity of calling it what it is is overdue.

I might add, “silver spoon” communists. In this country the communists don’ t know how good they have it.

The only good communist (liberal) is a dead communist (liberal).

Stalinazis. They marry the two leftist ideologies into a truly ugly and evil agenda.

I don’t favor the communist label.

American Progressives are United Kingdom worshippers. All they want and put forward are programs derivative of existing Brit political reality.

There is also a lot of Euro derivation factors in American Progressive thought

American Progressives are just copy cats.

This is an area where Trump has been pretty bold. He has publcially referred to the Democrats as either Marxists or communists, or maybe both. First time a president has used those terms in public that I can think of.

They are “Obamaoist.” Obama is the black Mao. We must all live in a constant state of revolution. Life is not to be enjoyed, life is to be a struggle against the status quo.

Just yesterday, Obama called for mass government censorship, elimination of independent journalism and gun confiscation.

Anyone want to bet what the “Democrat” platform will be in ‘24?

IMO, a better definition is fascist. There has been a very successful merger of state and corporate, which I believe is more fascist.

“That is what I call them...communists.”

“I always use a capital “C”—Communists.”

Absolutely, I have been screaming this for years now. Any other label is sugar coating and covering the true end goal and agenda.

Of course you don’t.

I’ve always called them “commies”. I’ve taken a lot of heat for it over the years.

A communist, by any other name, still smells as putrid.

“Commies” is good because it’s slangy. It avoids getting bogged down in technical objections over its meaning because it’s not meant to be precise. Instead it’s a good catch-all term that covers the full range of jerks we’re up against.
