Communism 101
El Gato Malo offers an excellent primer course.
communism (and its marketing department’s new brand name, “democratic socialism”) is one of the great lies ever created by humanity. you can tell it’s a lie in a number of glaring fashions:
communism and socialism are possible at any time in a free market system. just get people together and share. but almost no one ever does and when they do, it never goes anywhere. communism is never build the means of production or allow others to use the means of production that you built. it’s always “seize.” that right there tells you what lives at the core of this ethos and hiding that behind “democracy” and calling it “popular socialism” is just a flimsy fig leaf to allow the state to buy the votes of 10 people by taking $2000 from one guy, giving $100 each to 10 voters, and then stealing the other $1000 to support lavish dacha/hacienda lifestyles.
communism, by design, disallows competition. it seeks to break any other ties that might bind a people, religion, family, community. it’s all “the state” and “the party.” other loyalty is not only not permitted but actively suppressed. it does the same to private industry. it knows damn well that it cannot compete, so it does not allow competition.
an offshoot of this is that communism always and everywhere seeks to erase and re-write history. he who controls the past controls the present and he who controls the present controls the future. communism is ALWAYS rooted in a false past, the vilification of genuine heros, in moral destruction, and in vicious, relentless crushing of any ideas other than “the ideas.” it’s a secular theocracy as suppressive and murderous as any sharia theocrat. (ironically, this is why the left and the sharia crowd often cooperate they want the same things. until they don’t.)
the framing is always the “big lie” cast in DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender). because this is the tactic of the abuser. it is, in fact, how you spot an abuser. “why do you make me hit you sherryl?” that’s communism. they are the players upon your empathy and sympathy. they take and demand and seize and any time you push back, they call you the bad guy for wanting individual rights and to keep your property, the things you built
it cannot, in any meaningful sense, compete with a free market. this is why it doesn’t. it attacks from within, works in “long marches” through institutions and academia and the endless 5th column mischief of dissolution to break up family and religion and faith in national identity and the rightness of liberty. it sells slave collars as liberation. and it always, always, starts with the children. it inculcates them from birth to believe this tripe, to hate their family and country, to disavow religion and markets, to believe the world is rigged against them and that only “the state” can get them their due.
if you look at every bit of “woke” and economic fallacy and post modern nihilist claptrap being pushed on kids from gender to DEI’s structural isms to “the new deal worked” and “socialism is nice, let’s paint it green” and the casting as any resistance to this as “fascism,” it’s all of a piece. this is infiltration and infestation, it’s subversion and nothing about it is accidental. it’s a well worn playbook to use the democratic institutions of a high trust state to destroy a civilization. it uses the empathy and sympathy of high trust people as a weapon to prey upon them. it breaks the social contract, demanding that dictatorial taker class be allowed to operate protected but unbound. this is the weaponization of empathy i spoke of the other day.
they start YOUNG. like kindergarten young. barney young. they demand the children be in government schools or schools dominated by government funding and structure. they flood them with propaganda. they take over the universities and run purges of any other voices in struggle session cancel culture supported by the students who increasingly arrive unprepared and already indoctrinated by a lifetime of political vitriol, fake history, economic inversions, and mindwiped cultural immersion from drag queen story hour up to “the classics are all racist, here read some radical woke garbage.”
That last ‘graph is probably the most crucial bit of all, I think; as I have long insisted, until the Red Left has been removed from its absolute-command-and-control position in the government schools, there can be absolutely no hope whatever of eradicating their malign influence over our country, our culture, and our very lives.
Excellent.
I'll just note that so called "red" states control their own public education and have done little to nothing to stop the communist indoctrination that occurs in their schools.
That should tell you a lot...
