Communism's Woke Gods Must Be Crazy

It's no wonder that one of the first acts of all communist regimes is to round up and murder anybody not hysterically committed to the "cause." Communism, like its COVID-1984 kissing cousin, only thrives when mass formation psychosis takes over. In practice, this entails killing an awfully large number of people who are too old or experienced to believe in fairy tales told to them by government agents with one hand on a loaf of bread and the other on the butt of a gun.

And you say if we collectivize our farms, we'll be able to feed the whole nation? An end to property rights will bring about utopia in our own time? Tell me, what kind of mule kicked you in the head, son? Hey, wait, let me go...

It is a sad fact that communism depends on the young, naïve, or brain-dead to push an ideology that brings nothing but poverty, unhappiness, and death. "Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world," Vladimir Lenin boasted. Transform? If not for friends of freedom, perhaps so. But by capturing generations of children, he was certainly capable of breaking their futures into pieces. Venezuela, China, Cuba, Cambodia, Korea — wherever communism is allowed to draw breath, mass murder and dystopia follow in quick succession.

Barack Obama spoke endlessly of "fundamentally transforming" the United States, and given that America was founded and forged in a dedication to liberty and a rejection of government tyranny, it was always clear which side of that dichotomy he fervently supported. For his efforts, the American population has rarely been more divided, urban crime and murder rates have spiraled out of control, and the Department of (in)Justice has descended into a death spiral of wretched partisanship.

1 Feb: CNBC: George Soros says leadership of China’s Xi threatened by omicron and real-estate crisis
by Chloe Taylor
Speaking via teleconference on a panel with the Hoover Institution on Monday, Soros argued that the omicron Covid-19 variant “threatens to be Xi Jinping’s undoing” as the virus is “no longer under control” in China.

“The Chinese vaccines were designed to deal with the [original] Wuhan variant, but the world is now struggling with other variants,” Soros said. “Xi Jinping couldn’t possibly admit this while he is waiting to be appointed for a third term — he is hiding it from the Chinese people as a guilty secret.”
A spokesperson for the Chinese government was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC.
