The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property ~ Karl Marx
“The goal of socialism is communism” ~ Vladimir Lenin
It has been said that communism will always attempt to come in through the front door. If locked, it will try the back door, if that fails, it will crawl in through a window.
United States is currently witnessing a resurgence of the Bolshevik Revolution
As astonishing as it may seem, the United States is currently witnessing a resurgence of the Bolshevik Revolution, but this time it is occurring within our country. The Bolsheviks transformed Russia and much of the world, turning it upside down. They had few allies and faced numerous adversaries across every continent.
Despite their antagonists, they managed to export their revolution to every corner of the globe, including Europe, South America, Africa, Central America, Asia, and now North America. It has killed millions.
To seize power in Russia, their direct violence (1918-1922) resulted in the killing of up to 1.3 million people. To maintain their power from 1917 to 1953, academic estimates suggest that the number of direct and indirect deaths attributed to their regime reached 20 million, while the total global deaths resulting from communist regimes have surpassed 100 million.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn contested the figure of 20 million deaths, suggesting instead that the true number may be at least 33 million, with a probability range of 60 to 66 million fatalities. A significant portion of these deaths resulted from direct executions, widespread famine, forced labor, and systemic repression.
The Bolsheviks, on the eve of their revolution in 1917, split the people into two parts: the oppressors and the oppressed. The oppressed were again split into workers, peasants, and soldiers.
Bolshevism demanded the end of the standing army and the police. Substituting for the police were armed officials or a ‘Cheka’, the Soviet Secret Police. In 1918, the Red Army was formed. It was initially voluntary but soon became mandatory.
The idea of no army or police on its face is ridiculous, but this time, the Soviet police and army serve a different purpose, that is, keeping the people in line. Every public institution became political.
In reality, what it turned into was an autocratic, dictatorship of the bureaucracy under Stalin
The Bolsheviks demanded one-party rule and the end of private property, especially for residential use. There was no longer ownership of land and business. They took control of the means of production. Housing and medical care became state responsibilities, eliminating private housing, medical care and charities. Party loyalty was mandatory for anyone who wanted meaningful employment, service in the Red Army, or just to stay alive.
Can anyone truly envision the further development of technology or any consumer product without the driving force of profit?
Bolsheviks replaced the dictatorship of the landowners with the dictatorship of the party. Later, Stalin replaced that with the dictatorship of the bureaucracy.
Bolsheviks ruled by decree, bypassing legislative debate, making it closer to turning state institutions into rubber stamps for party orders. It was in essence a dictatorship of the proletariat or working class.
In reality, what it turned into was an autocratic, dictatorship of the bureaucracy under Stalin. The bureaucracy could be compared to a dictatorship of the deep state. As it turned out, the working class or the bureaucracy couldn’t make life any better than the tzars.
Anyone who looks into the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) demands can plainly see who they are. These “new” communists are largely atheists, wanting to replace God with government in their value system. They demand the end of the presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, police, prisons, the end of capitalism, private property, ICE, national borders, and massive reductions in the military.
They say they want to win the battle for democracy by drafting a new constitution and creating a democratic socialist republic. The Bill of Rights will be gone! It’s similar to the Bolshevik’s strategy of seizing power from within.
They claim to be democratic, yet they vigorously oppose legislation that would guarantee fair elections. They do not want the Electoral College that provides all Americans a voice in our government. They resist cleaning up their voter rolls. Their version of democracy would leave New York and California determining all leadership and policy.
The allure of communism is straightforward: the promises of free money, free housing, free medical care, and cheap food
Without the Senate, states will no longer have representation. Without federalism (states), there will no longer be local representation and the ability to pass laws to fill regional or local needs.
The one-party state they demand would mean not democracy but autocracy.
Their primary domestic allies are Islamic groups seeking greater access to the political system. While they may not share many of their values–particularly those relating to atheism, homosexuality, and transgender rights–radical Muslims view them as useful tools to be exploited before ultimately being discarded when the opportunity arises.
The allure of communism is straightforward: the promises of free money, free housing, free medical care, and cheap food are very appealing to the uneducated; however, communist movements throughout history have not improved anyone’s life, but they do succeed in keeping the party that instituted them in power indefinitely. And maybe that’s the point.
Who really believes that a ragtag group of freaks and creeps that call themselves communists are going to take over the United States from within? We have a constitution, and that constitution allows us to protect our country from enemies, both foreign and domestic. All we need is a government with the guts to see to it that it doesn’t happen.
I am shocked that our government is allowing insurrectionists to run for high office. In fact, while South America is moving to the right, our Democrat Party is moving to the left… far left!
In conclusion, I must urge our current leaders on both sides of the political spectrum with a warning… and I’ll say it with a quote by John F. Kennedy: “Communism has never come into power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.”
