” Why is all this important today? Because President Obama has once again embraced the Jacobin, Marxist, Bolshevik & Nazi, Blame & Envy Cocktail. In his campaign addresses, he blames identified economic classes or economic interest groups for America’s problems; always playing upon envy & resentment; ever appealing to the covetousness of those most susceptible to the demagogues’ cocktail. Will it all end badly? Do we have a Jacobin, Marxist, Communist or Nazi era in our future?
Mankind has seen this game before. No, the Marxist view of historic inevitability is philosophically idiotic. But the formula has worked to create horror in other nations. Already the vicious attempts by Administration demagogues, to falsely blame traditional American social institutions for the problems of racial minorities, is inciting sporadic acts of violence—with multiplying threats of more to come. This is how it starts. In the Jacobin, Bolshevik & Nazi examples, we know the consequences. They are never limited to the scapegoats. “
Fine piece of writing. All of it!
Thanks.
