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...

Good point, probably why I do it. The phrase I use is “bunch of commies”.
We knew in 1963 what the Commies were going to do to us because they told us and we let them. Now what?
John Kerry, who was in Viet Nam, recently spoke of the government confiscating farms in the battle against climate change. Soon it will be our homes and 401’s. Yes we have become a communist state with a state run media and hundreds of commie corrupt politicians.
It probably will shock the sensibilities of many people but the old saying that ‘the only good communist is a dead communist’ may soon become the order of the day.
Actually if the current day “Communists” acted like this in Stalin’s or even Kruschev’s USSR they would have been lined up against the wall or thrown in the gulag.
I see no reason to name them unless we are are going to start killing them.
They’re libtards Jim
Call Them What They Are: Communists
Karl Marx taps out tune on box
read hitler’s last memo
practically one sentence
“this will happen to you”
now they’re attacking Russia even
The Communists were amateurs next to these people.
Have you a research link? I've read much of the early Goebbels stuff, which is horrid. To my rabble-rousing view the EU Commission is working very hard to again "unite" Europe under their control. Looks pretty from the outside, but the interior is rotting, angry and corrupt.
To Mr. Green, “Welcome to the party, pal!” Took you long enough, guess you aren’t too bright.
Our ancestors knew that basic fact. It’s been propagandized out of the more recent crop of citizens.
To measure the ideals of Communism, however one might interpret them, however all the authoritarian systems ultimately end up being "feudal" and command economies, with an elite becoming privileged and wealthy.
The National Socialists stole, and thereby had their elite. The Soviets stole and had their elite. The Chinese Communists steal and have their elite. The equivalent of multimillionaires and billionaires appeared in all the top-down structures, so arguing about terms becomes confounding to many. As to our "beloved" Congress and political elite, and as to the EU hierarchy, these too manage to become rich through their various forms of "public service."
Note the wiggle room in your cited excerpt" "...except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures...."
So our "public servants" are on board, to use your expression, with acquiring much of for the "immediate use" and "for their pleasure." One can chase one's tail over terminology, but what is simply is. Biden and his ilk are on board with that, to be sure.
What I find fascinating about having spoken to "echt" Communists in Germany and a couple of them here in academia, is that they FLEE a discussion of the Marx-Engels notion of the "withering of the state." Why? Because like one of our own poster children for "comfy" Marxists, Angela Davis, she quite keen about the regular bank deposit of her UCalifornia system sinecure.
It would be instructive to read up on "the withering of the state." No statist I know of wants to be THAT Marxist...
Demonstrably, many European, Russian, Chinese and American Marxists all are quite keen to be included in the elite, and made most financially comfortable thereby. As to the average Joe, who believes the "to each according to his needs" one may think to Nuland's fine words about Europe. "F*ck them." Why? Because all the corrupt elite -- following that other phrase from Marx are intent on serving their "pleasures,"
As you correctly quoted....
I’d just like to call them dead.
the one I read
was addressed to the allies
usa - england
the post war plan was unconditional destruction
just watched a video
of the western front soldiers
who refused to surrender even many days after hitler’s death
they were marched into prison camps
past 100’s of tanks / planes
they couldn’t understand why the Russian
weren’t even fighting them anymore
they still thought they were winning
denial in German army was so severe
this had gone on forever
read a book about it
The German Army
tko - lucky punch - “bad call”
also - “all roads in Russia are uphill”
