On the contrary, it has succeeded brilliantly, at its true objective. When one hears, "diversity is our strength" one has only to realize that said "our" is the communists who benefit and diversity is indeed to their advantage in destroying Christian democratic capitalism. They know that internal strife induces demand for concentrated power in the state to settle disputes and maintain order. The same can be said of every other divisive cultural goal, whether homosexuality or cheap heterosexual sex. Anything that divides the family or increases the reproduction of dysfunctional children empowers the state and therefore its wealthy sponsors at the expense of the middle class. Hence communism always was fascism, as Orwell had figured out as early as 1938:
In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.[Snip]
Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.

A great book, I recommend it often.
If a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, his participation in the Spanish Civil War, and nearly getting killed by his “allies,” was Orwell’s mugging.
