Karl Marx: “The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.” Recent Breitbart headline: “Zohran Mamdanin Pushes for ‘Abolition of Private Property’” Well, of course, the commies are already here; Marxism dominates the Democratic Party now, so Mamdani’s call for the abolition of private property is not surprising in the least. But that’s just my conclusion. Let me share with you some quotes from Karl Marx, and then you can decide if, or to what extent, his communist theory has infiltrated and/or taken over the Democratic Party. All the quotes below are from Marx....

A resurfaced clip of Zohran Mamdani explaining how when he runs out of money—because he’s decided to quit his job—he’ll just live off his parents is going viral: ... He’s got absolutely no qualms about producing nothing, being unemployed, and living off of someone else—which is to say he’s just your average socialist/communist. Recall that Karl Marx lived off of handouts from Freidrich Engels, and was once so broke that he left his wife to pawn his last pair of pants instead of just getting a job to support his family (walking around in his skivvies for who knows who...

Self-proclaimed socialist Zohran Mamdani expressed "surprise and relief that the socialist takeover of the government of New York City was so easy. Lenin and Mao had to fight years of bloody warfare before they achieved complete control of their countries. Last week, the plurality of votes I got in a low-turnout primary election opened the way for a true socialist revolution in the most important city of America. Hitler had a similarly easy ascension to power when a plurality of voters enabled him to become Chancellor of Germany in 1933. Hitler used his victory for evil purposes. I will use...

Leftist theologian attacks late pontiffMUNICH (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Marxist philosopher and dissident ex-priest is denigrating the theological legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. On Tuesday, the German magazine Publik-Forum published an article by Brazilian Liberation Theology proponent Leonardo Boff, who shared his Marxist perception of the late Pontiff. Boff declared that Benedict "proved to be the enemy of the friends of the poor." He berated the pope emeritus for focusing too heavily on traditional theology and not enthusiastically embracing Marxist theory. The laicized Brazilian has a long history of conflicts with Pope Benedict XVI, going back decades to when Benedict was...

Several major cities have canceled Cinco de Mayo celebrations because of increasing fears over President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration.Why It Matters Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over Napoleon III's French army in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It has become a significant celebration of Mexican culture and heritage in the United States. Trump, who returned to office in January, has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation program in U.S. history, and his hard-line immigration crackdown has sparked fear within migrant communities. In Chicago, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade, which...

CINCO DE MAYO Cinco De Mayo's deeply rooted history in the Franco-Mexican War influenced Mexican-Mexican American communities in the early years of the American Civil War. In the early 1860s, as the Civil War erupted, these communities took up the banner of the Cinco De Mayo celebration as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy. Today, in the United States, Americans celebrate Mexican-American heritage and pride annually on May 5th. #CincodeMayo Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for “fifth of May.” On June 7, 2005, the United States Congress issued a Concurrent Resolution. The resolution invited the President...

Strictly a video, with no text, detailing how Carney, after attempting to win the election with 'elbows up', will turn around and cave to all of Trump’s demands. This from the man who runs Eurasia Group, which employs Carney's wife, and his campaign manager the ignore Gerald Butts-head.

WASHINGTON -- Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's historic trip to Crawford, Texas, this week ought to provoke Americans to plumb some of the deeper reasons behind the yawning U.S./Saudi estrangement. The "Arab street," according to every analyst here from the region, is increasingly anti-American. Their stories relate the skewed pictures most countries are getting about America -- from satellite-carried Israeli attacks on Palestinians to the often vulgar and sexually explicit American commercial TV programs sent around the world. But when one searches for the failure of American influence in the Middle East, one does not have to look far. We are...

This is a video comment by Frank Vaughan, so this is my summary of what Frank says, concerning possible fraud in yesterday's Liberal leadership election. He also points out differences between the Canadian and American systems of government. He details that Marx Carney has laid out that Canadians can expect 'lockdowns' and hard times under Carney, and that Canadian citizens can do absolutely NOTHING because of how the system is.

The following video features an interview with James Simpson, the author of Manufactured Crisis: The War to End America. Mr. Simpson’s book — and his conversation with Vlad — focuses on the efforts of socialists and communists to subvert American institutions by exacerbating crises within them — or creating crises if none are immediately available to exploit. The pattern of crisis-generation involves two clashing ideological viewpoints — the classical Hegelian dialectic — which can only be resolved by applying the “solution” offered by Marxist ideologues. In particular, Mr. Simpson and Vlad highlight the Cloward-Piven strategy, which was formulated more than...

An £18,000,000 plan to redevelop Highgate Cemetery, the final resting places of Karl Marx and George Michael, has divided local residents. The graves of Marx and Michael are among those currently ‘at risk’ of damage from falling ash trees, which have been decaying due to longstanding disease and drainage issues at the famous cemetery. Ash dieback, a fungal disease that could eventually kill up to 80% of ash trees across the UK, has seen trees topple in the cemetery and forced many more to be cut down. Marx’s grave is surrounded by ash trees, whereas George Michael’s burial spot lies...

Sheinbaum, 61, is poised to make history as Mexico’s first female president and first Jewish head of state. Polls a week before Mexico’s election show her enjoying a wide lead over the next candidate, the conservative entrepreneur Xóchitl Gálvez. Still, after nearly a quarter-century in the public eye, she remains an enigma, known mainly as the low-key protégé of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the charismatic leader known as AMLO. AMLO doesn’t speak English and dislikes traveling abroad. Sheinbaum did postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley; her sister and daughter live in the United States. The president,...

Karl Marx spent his entire life avoiding work, sponging off his friends and family, burdening the lives of everyone he came into contact with, all because Marx wanted to overthrow the current regime (a subconscious rebellion against his parents) and install himself in the seat of ultimate power (as a way to avoid work). He didn't care about the "workers", his children, his wife, his parents, nor anybody else. All he cared about was himself, and today's video will show you exactly what happened and why.

While Hitler and Mussolini both expressed their opposition to and hatred of “Marxists,” they nevertheless embraced a leftism that was only marginally different from that embraced by Lenin and Stalin. In light of recent events and discussions attempting to rehabilitate the historical reputation of Germany’s Nazis, it might be worthwhile to re-examine the foundations of the ideology that underpinned National Socialism and its close cousin fascism. Those who embrace the revisionism that excuses the Nazis’ crimes appear to believe that by doing so, they are defending themselves and their ideological brethren from unfair and ahistorical attacks by the broader left....

In a normal political environment, there would be little need to pay attention to a new book by the far-right provocateur Jack Posobiec, who is probably best known for promoting the conspiracy theory that Democrats ran a satanic child abuse ring beneath a popular Washington pizzeria. But “Unhumans,” an anti-democratic screed that Posobiec co-wrote with the professional ghostwriter Joshua Lisec, comes with endorsements from some of the most influential people in Republican politics, including, most significantly, vice-presidential candidate JD Vance. The word “fascist” gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for...

U.S. — Democrats continued their long-standing tradition of holding whites-only gatherings this week with the new "White Dudes for Harris" campaign.The Zoom call, featuring prominent politicians and celebrities, upheld the Democratic Party's proud heritage of gathering a large group of white men together to talk about black people just like the party did for decades with the Ku Klux Klan and other whites-only meetings."We're Democrats. It's what we do," said angry white man David Hogg. "We'd be remiss if we didn't seek to carry on the age-old Democratic Party tradition of having meetings that were only for white males. It's...

Marxism was easily the most destructive political theory to ever be put into practice. Over the course of the 20th century it was responsible for the purposeful killing of well over 100 million people. To put that evil into context, the slave trade into the United States was 400,000 people, the number of Congolese dead during the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium is estimated as high as 10 million and the total number of deaths during WWII was 73 million. But Communism beats them all, combined. And the vast majority of those numbers came from governments killing their...
