"The meaning of peace,” Karl Marx said, “is the absence of opposition to socialism.” To the Soviets, peace was the state in which resistance to their territorial and philosophical ambitions was not only futile, it was fatal. If Democrats were as straightforward as their philosophical consigliere, they would define democracy, which they refer to in worshipful tones, as the absence of any challenge to their political power. Given how that party has continually revealed its authoritarian core, there can be no other explanation.
We’ve argued before that the Democrats don’t want to govern under constitutional limits but instead rule without constraint, which can happen only when their power is unchallengeable. We could point to the current administration’s direct and proxy prosecutions of the previous president. Its effort to eliminate a threat to its agenda is without precedent in our country, primarily because in the past Americans avoided a never-ending cycle of persecution and prosecutorial paybacks in which political stability is undermined. We have a long tradition of primarily civil politics and the peaceful transition of power.
The criminalization of politics is only one iteration of the left’s doctrine that politics are war by other means, though. The Democrats, with in-kind aid from the media, are also trying to bully the Supreme Court into submission to their will. Their message to the Court’s conservative justices: Rule our way or we will harass you until you resign.
In this war with multiple fronts, the Democrats are attempting to establish a permanent majority through a direct assault on elections. We’re talking about far more than the “cabal” that was mobilized in 2020 to guarantee the presidency for Joe Biden.
The party is determined to federalize elections with rules that would put our voting system in the hands of Deep State bureaucrats and political insiders rather than the locals we live among, and codify practices that are illegal in most of the country. This would end our political system as we’ve known it, with its crucial checks and balances, and eventually replace it with a Democratic Party dictatorship.
Sure, we’ll continue to hold elections, but like those in the Soviet Union/Russia, Cuba, Venezuela and other nations where the outcomes are rigged, there’ll be no doubt who will win.
At the same time, Democrats are determined to crack down on speech, providing them yet another weapon to crush dissent. The Democrat-media complex cancels, destroys, smears, divides, makes insane speeches, holds show trials, misinforms, disinforms and censors with a single goal in mind: to consolidate power that has no opposition....
DemocRATs and Marxists. Is there a difference?
1st paragraph says it all.
Also note that Islam mean “peace” or “submission” in the same way — peace is achieved when all opposition is eliminated. Usually by slicing off a lot of heads.
BTTT
DemocRATs still hide behind a mask they label “Democracy” whereas Marxists don’t bother.
Their definition of democracy is buttseks, probably involving children. Given the number of institutions they control, that might as well be the definition. The spreading of this democracy is the goal of U.S. foreign policy.

“[Susan] Rice, who is among the wealthiest members of the Biden White House team, dramatically increased her wealth since her previous White House job during the Obama administration, reporting between $36 million and $149 million in various assets in her new disclosure filing released Saturday morning.”
“she reported shares in several oil and gas industry companies, including $1 million to $5 million of holdings in the Canadian multinational natural gas distribution company Enbridge Inc.”

That’s because Democrats & Communists are exactly the same thing now.
That is a lot of political favors!
This hits the nail right on the head. The far-left’s version of an “american democracy” is really nothing but a “democrazy”. MOB RULE with each color tribe having its own “rules”. A disunited group of morons all trying to run the same asylum.
To the Democrats, democracy = whatever Democrats want. Thus, opposition to Democrats = a threat to democracy.
Communism, fascism, socialism... ALL the ‘isms are all feudal systems. The rich and powerful see themselves as gods destined to RULE not govern. Masters and serfs. These systems of tyranny cannot succeed if there’s a large middle class. Karl Marx hated the middle class (bourgeoisie) because we tend to be independent thus hard to rule, thus we must be destroyed! Also, all possible competing ideologies (especially religion) must be eliminated. For the totalitarian state demands “no other gods before it.” The rabble that support Democrats think they’ll get something for nothing, but they’re wrong. To late they also learn the “red pottage” promises of socialism NEVER happen, but the chains do!
The meaning of peace,” Karl Marx said, “is the absence of opposition to socialism.

Guess why the democrats want to take things away from you.
Oil
Stoves
A/C unites
Liberty..............................................
Exactly. And a simpler way of putting it is that any time a democrat talks about a danger to our democracy, what he/she is actually saying is it is a danger to the Democrat Party. So, any time you heart such a statement, substitute Democrat Party for democracy and you will have their true meaning.
It’s the same picture.
