Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?

...the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government.

Obambi and the Neocommies are suffering from major erectile dysfunction.

I wouldn’t say that, they’ve been raping us pretty good.

[genetic homophobe]

yes.

Like the Trojan War the Communists retreated leaving a horse. That horse is called the university.

And if tomorrow the Chinese Politburo decided to end its flirtation with a limitied free market system because it wasn’t beneficial to the State, it would be abolished with lightning fast swiftness and brutality. And that would be the end of that.

[Boucheau]

A little truth seeps in.

What’s happening to us is clearly the rotten fruit of decades of communist subversion.

And Americans march on, into oblivion, none the wiser. Well, almost none.

THANK YOU for posting this.

More, please.

We need to wake people up.

Obamacare is not about health care, and Cap ‘n Trade has absolutely NOTHING to do with the environment.

Exactly. The best thing that could happen for the communists was for Communism to be declared “dead”. Then they could not only proceed unhindered, but attack anyone who called them on it as ‘fringe elements’, whackos, or ‘conspiracy theorists’. Any of that sound familliar?

[fieldmarshaldj]

That doesn’t look like Downtown Nairobi to me.

The remarkable part is the complete transformation of the democrat party into the true Communist Party of America, although some other group officially holds that title to deflect suspicion away from the true standard bearers. While Europe openly recognizes their communists, ours hide like cockroaches behind the "D" label and vehemently deny their true affiliations when confronted.

Nope, it actually died. Stone cold dead. Misinformation ahead of time just tried to make their impending collapse a little less embarrassing. The folks who couldn't make a decent pair of shoes couldn't scheme their way to world power either. It is a fantasy.

[CowboyJay]

Yes, and no.

Don’t know how much if any of this was actually ‘planned’ by the Russkies. Just more kind of worked out this way, IMO.

The Iron Curtain came down. Communism just wasn’t as ‘scary’ to the West anymore. Some western reforms worked their way in, and some socialist ideals spilled out along with immigrants from the old Soviet Bloc. Some Russians got impatient with market reforms. That seemed to trigger a reactionary backlash that opened the door for Putin.

Russian Bolshevism is dead, though. No pretense of social justice left. Marx is rotting in his grave. At this point, Russia is really more fascist if even that. Hard to discern any utopian rhetoric coming out of Putin. More just plain despotic and authoritarian.

Here in the West, we have some bizarre ‘3rd way’ going on. Anti-nationalist. Odd mixture of utopian internationalist zeal crossbred with the worst elements of socialism and capitalism. Really I think it’s just a dog-and-pony show to keep the masses from rioting while the elites try their hand at reverse class warfare.

The reality of what we have going on isn’t all that different from Russia, really. Consent of the governed? Moral authority? Dead. Artifacts of the previous millenium.

We’re all Banana Republicans now.

Maskirovka is alive and well...

Add this to the current ideology of aggression (islam), and lead becomes the investment metal of choice.

Who is the old Wellesley professor who bragged that Hillary Rodham came in a Goldwater Republican and left an Alinsky Commie?

That was the decption of the New Left in the '60s and '70s, when they hid behind the 'radicals' of the SDS and Weather Underground, trying to appear harmless by comparison and seeming in contrast to be far closer to harmless normalcy. When conservatives pointed out the threat then and subsequently, they were branded as 'extremists', and not even used by the more 'moderate' right to balance the equation, but chucked under the bus. People who have steadfastly claimed that there should be no 'special rights' for any group have been branded as "racists", who did not agree with military aid except to stop Communism as "war mongers", or in some cases smeared otherwise because of their lack of support for military intervention or aid to specific countries. In the meantime, the New Left used their lever, partly from the War on Poverty, partly from Liberal White Guilt, and pushed the direction of American Politics and the sense of what was just farther from the Constitutional ideals, away from equal protection for all citizens under the law, and still use it, now to promote the idea of Amnesty for illegal aliens.

Add in the crippling of the American Psyche by wussifying the population through intense social campaigns, and the destruction of American Industry through a combination of crippling taxation and demands, both environmental and otherwise, and the flow of wealth has been out of this country into communist countries and their sympathizers, while at home we do not develop the carreer oriented persons who would have carried the next industrial generation forward. There is a brain drain by default; there is no compelling reason to learn the skills needed to operate a mine or prospect for minerals, because it is incredibly difficult to develop any resources you find. As such, we become increasingly dependent on trade ties which bleed us to the benefit of those who harbor very different idealogies.

At least the Democrats of my youth still could be credibly believed to love America, even if they differed in how they thought our problems should be handled. Not so any more.

"The remarkable part is the complete transformation of the democrat party into the true Communist Party of America,"

It is now to a point where the Democrats don't shrink from the socialist label.

Republicans fear to use the socialist label because the Democrat Socialists will respond, "What do you think Medicare is?" "What do you think Bush's prescription medicine bill was?"
