Time to Stop ‘Communism, American-Style’?
The Epoch Times ^ | 9 Oct 2021 | Roger L Simon

Some will remember that comedy classic from 1961, “Divorce, Italian Style,” starring Marcello Mastroianni. Unfortunately, sixty years later, we seem to be moving toward, even living through, a far less funny, real life “Communism, American Style.”

What is “Communism, American Style”? As yet one would think it bears little resemblance to the Soviet kind with its Gulags and so forth.

Or does it?

On Oct. 6, the Los Angeles City Council proclaimed, nearly unanimously (11-2), COVID-19 mandates that require proof of vaccination to enter indoor restaurants, movie theaters, salons, shopping centers, and just about every other public indoor space you could think of in the entertainment capitol.

Others, with the encouragement of our federal government, will soon be following suit in varying degrees or already have.

Maybe Gulags aren’t needed when the entire society is living in one.

This occurred only a couple of days after Merrick Garland, the attorney general of our country—in what Mark Levin described as Stasi-like behavior—announced his jihad, apparently in cahoots with several other governmental education entities, against parents who deigned to criticize school boards for propagandizing their children with Critical Race Theory (son of Critical Theory, son of Marxism).

Garland called these concerned parents, who are springing up seemingly everywhere, “domestic terrorists.”

It turned out the AG’s own children were, via the “education” company Panorama, profiting mightily off purveying this same inducing of race hatred while pretending to be an anti-racist, totalitarian so-called theory.

This is not even close to communism. This is tyranny.

You're right

I remember how effective the Solidarity movement was in Poland. That's what we need here....complete and non violent

SOLIDARITY!

Put differences aside long enough to send the message that we've had it with the tyranny!

Remember Romania....and Mr. & Mrs. Ceaucescue(?) and their removal by firing squad? I don’t know how that was brought to pass, in that Romania was a dictatorship. But somehow the Cs suffered severe cases of lead poisoning. DC might need some of that to return respect for our Constitution. They intend to trample us under hobnail boots....if we let them.

Will need the French’s 1789-1799 style...

Time to invest in guillotines is now...

There is no other workable solution...
All communists must go to ground temperature...
