One of the most poignant moments to remember of the 1960’s is that of Nikita Khrushchev, the communist leader (dictator) of the Soviet Union, standing in the United Nations, banging the heel his shoe on the table and shouting at the US delegation, “We will bury you!”\u00a0 His tirade was frightening, especially to those in America who had any inkling of the intellectual, let alone the military, threat that the International Socialist movement posed to our way of life.\u00a0 He, being the Commissar of Stalingrad during the Nazi siege of that city, probably believed that he could accomplish his aims militarily. \u00a0 We now know that the military conquest by the Soviets did not and will not happen … the Soviet Union has disappeared.\u00a0 But the reason for the Soviet Union, the Marxism\/Leninism of International Socialism lives on.\u00a0 It has knowing disciples in today’s USA.<\/p>\n
What is this movement?\u00a0 There are libraries full of books written about it, but for the purposes of this investigation, we can sum up its essence in a few lines.<\/p>\n
First, Communism is atheistic, totally secular.\u00a0 Lenin said, “Religion is the opiate of the masses.”\u00a0 Marx made a secular argument for our existence.\u00a0 He postulated that at the beginning of time the entire Universe was filled with dust at rest.\u00a0 He believed that the entire Universe that we see today began when one dust particle bumped into another, causing the second to rebound into others … and so on.\u00a0 Action, re-action … Chaos.\u00a0 The Ying and the Yang that is portrayed in the Korean national flag.\u00a0 For every action, a re-action … every positive, a negative.\u00a0 For Light, Darkness.\u00a0 For Man, Woman.\u00a0 For Hot, Cold.\u00a0 For the Lamb, the Lion.\u00a0 For Capital, Labor.\u00a0 He gave it a name … “dialectical materialism.”\u00a0 All things in constant turmoil, continuously working in diminishing entropy toward a Higher Utopian Rest.\u00a0 Marx believed that in order to take control of a country, those who would promote revolution should manage this chaos to achieve their ends.\u00a0 As far as human endeavor was concerned, he believed that all things “Good” came from the sweat of the brow of the working man, the “Proletariat.”\u00a0 He believed that the enemy of the human “Good” was the people who had money and owned things, he called them the “Bourgeoisie.” (Boo-Shwa-Zee)\u00a0 His view was that the rich, the Capitalists (the few), and the Bourgeoisie, the “middle class” (the many), had to be eliminated from society in order for a classless Socialistic Utopia to be realized after “a withering away of the State.”\u00a0 He envisioned “a dictatorship of the Proletariat” as a temporary interim necessity to ensure the emergence of the Utopia.<\/p>\n
The appeal of Marx’s ideas to those who subscribed to them was that there would be no rich people; they would be eliminated and their property confiscated.\u00a0 All property would be held in common.\u00a0\u00a0 His philosophy preached the maxim, “from each according to his abilities … to each according to his needs.” (If he did not coin the phrase, he certainly popularized it.)\u00a0 And since Marx and his successors were secularists (if not atheists), they believed that any method, fair or foul, necessary to bring this utopian vision to fruition was acceptable.\u00a0 “The end justified the means.”\u00a0 \u00a0 His society would be classless, everything held in common.\u00a0 Everyone would be allowed only that which was adequate for his survival.\u00a0 Men and women would be treated absolutely equally in the work place and in the society in general. \u00a0 All human endeavor would accrue to the benefit of the state.\u00a0 And, if necessary, any or all individuals or individuality up to life itself would be sacrificed to the betterment of the State.\u00a0 In the beginning, he visualized that some backsliders would resist, making necessary committees to oversee the progress of the community (the dictatorship of the Proletariat).\u00a0 There would be\u00a0a police force to insure that no one cheated on or gamed the system.\u00a0 But ultimately,\u00a0as the rich and the Bourgeoisie disappeared, the state would wither away and humankind would emerge into a true communist utopia where the chaos of the world finally came to rest.<\/p>\n
In practice there were two different ways to gain the socialist utopia.\u00a0 The first was by taking over governments by voting in socialistic systems through democratic processes.\u00a0 The second was by violent take over.\u00a0 For the early socialist zealots,\u00a0 peaceful methods proved exceedingly arduous as political discourse and reasoning allowed the rich, the Bourgeoisie and the Capitalists to successfully oppose the ascendancy of the socialistic\u00a0 state.\u00a0 Violent take-overs seemed a much more viable way to proponents, because friendly persuasion was not necessary.\u00a0 The socialists of the 19th Century had very little luck at the election poles and were almost as unsuccessful at revolution.\u00a0 There were general uprisings in Europe in 1848, the 1870’s and in 1905, which essentially all failed, gaining only minor re-alignments in governments.\u00a0 Only the total defeat of Czarist Russia in World War I allow the socialists to take over there after two revolutions and a protracted war.\u00a0 Socialism became so unpopular in the United States that some of the practitioners ceased to call themselves “Socialists”, opting instead for the name “Progressives.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The word “Progressive” meant enlightened governance to many in lay society, but to the true believer it meant utopian Socialism …\u00a0 using a softer word as a means to the same end.\u00a0 However, the proponents of socialism learned from each failed attempt.\u00a0 In the early 20th Century they began to become more intellectual and began to organize internationally.\u00a0 Lenin, Mussolini, Trotsky and George Bernard Shaw all knew each other personally and these men were intimates with other socialists from all over Europe.\u00a0 The only one of this group that advocated the systematic peaceable take-over of government was G. B. Shaw.\u00a0 He and his associates came up with “Fabian” socialism.\u00a0 And in this country it is this incremental socialism, the bit-by-bit destruction of individual freedom, of American institutions and the American way of life that has been the most successful.\u00a0\u00a0 It is “Fabian Socialism” that is attacking the United States of America today.<\/p>\n
Maybe Khrushchev knew what he was doing after all.\u00a0 He was a Marxist theorist, so maybe he could see in America 50 years ago what we ourselves could not see.\u00a0 Maybe he could see that we had already sown the seeds of our own destruction.\u00a0 He alluded to us being the authors of our own downfall by letting our country decay from the inside out.<\/p>\n
If\u00a0 America can’t be destroyed\u00a0 militarily how could it be done?<\/p>\n
You would have to destroy our institutions and infrastructure.\u00a0 And it would have to be done by Americans themselves.\u00a0 Are there Americans that would do it?\u00a0 There are the theorists like the Marxist fellow traveler Saul Alinsky;\u00a0 Marxist “New Leftist” Tom Hayden in California and his ex-wife, Jane Fonda and her associates; Bill Ayers and his wife <\/strong>Bernardine Dohrn involved in educational theory, and their surviving Weather Underground cohorts who are active in the policy-making of the present Administration;\u00a0 many leftists and avowed Communists and Socialists have been hired by the present Administration;\u00a0 and there are many other individuals and groups\u00a0 all around America that intellectually hate and actively promote the destruction of the American way of life.\u00a0 The worst of these, like Jane Fonda, Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers and such have already, actively, in one way or another, promoted revolution.\u00a0 But the most dangerous Americans are those like President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senators Harry Reid and John Kerry, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, all of whom proudly claim to be “Progressives.”\u00a0 Other Presidents that really harmed our Republic were Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson, not to mention Jimmy Carter who “tried his best.”\u00a0 Certainly, Republican Presidents like Nixon, and the Bushes, particularly G. W. did not help the Republic much either.\u00a0 Then there are the myriad of others, the Congressmen and Senators who are either oblivious too the Fabian threat or, if cognizant of it,\u00a0too un-important or too ineffectual to have much influence in promoting its socialistic goals, although every little bit of\u00a0 leftist legislation erodes freedom.<\/p>\n These opinion leaders and educators have, often times knowingly, sometimes un-knowingly, slowly … incrementally, bit by bit, suborned the average American citizen into rejecting the founding principles of the Republic and convinced huge numbers of our citizens that the “market system”, “free enterprise” and “individuality” do not work.\u00a0 Many Americans now believe that the “THEY” or “THE GOVERNMENT\u201d is the only salvation to their personal and economic problems.\u00a0 We might call this phenomenon: “The Great Irony” or “The Great Lie.”\u00a0 What it really is, is a return to feudal totalitarianism.\u00a0 In the ancient feudal state that our forefathers fled from, the individual was property of the lord, just as in socialism where the individual is subservient\u00a0to the State.\u00a0 The feudal lord owned you and yours body and soul, just as the modern socialistic State owns everything.\u00a0 Because the serf provided sustenance to the lord, he was allowed just enough food and shelter to survive … just enough necessities to carry on.\u00a0 The lord controlled everything … even the marriage bed.\u00a0 The new Socialist society wishes the same.\u00a0 20th century socialism actually experimented with human breeding for racial supremacy, eugenics: the doing away with the old and infirm, racial and ethnic cleansing, murdering adversaries and out and out genocide.\u00a0 We Americans have been conditioned to believe that only the Nazi’s in Germany did such things, but the fact is that many Socialistic governments, not only in Germany, but in Russia, China, Italy, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Cuba, South America and need we mention the Socialistic governments of emerging Africa of recent years did much the same … they all murdered people for the “betterment of the state.”\u00a0 During the first third of the 20th Century, eugenics for the mentally retarded was experimented with in some sections of the US.<\/p>\n The atrocities promulgated by the socialistic ideas of the “Intelligencia” are innumerable and monstrous.\u00a0 Yet people keep promoting the system.\u00a0 Some from ignorance, but others who still believe in the “utopia.”\u00a0 I have known many people who promoted collectivism in one manner or another and I will tell you how to identify them.\u00a0 First and always, they are arrogant, believing that they are more refined, better educated, better read, physically and mentally superior to society at large.\u00a0 Secondly, they propound a superior society wherein there is a perfect structure, needing only the guiding hand of the enlightened.\u00a0 And thirdly, they are that enlightened hand … the rules apply to all except the leaders and they are the leaders.\u00a0 Ask your intellectual friend, “Will the laws apply to you?”\u00a0 In my experience the answer is generally a glaring silence.<\/p>\n From union members and trial lawyers, many of whom are the most ardent promoters of socialism ask, “How did the unions (or lawyers) fare under the Nazi’s or the Soviet Union?”\u00a0 If you don’t get an answer, you can tell them, “Not too well, there weren’t any!”\u00a0 In a socialistic state there is no reason for unions …\u00a0 everyone has the same “benefits” and gets the same wage.\u00a0 There is no reason for lawyers because the “Committee” or its appointed “Commissars” make all the decisions and their decisions are final.<\/p>\n Ask your protagonists how the socialistic system prices goods and services.\u00a0 Since there are no competing interests what is the mechanism for pricing?\u00a0 There is no trading, no give and take; no Bourgeoisie, no middle class of traders and merchants.\u00a0 How is price arrived at?\u00a0 What’al ya gim’me for this?\u00a0 No, I can\u2019t accept that, but I\u2019ll take \u2026 ??\u00a0 Won\u2019t happen in a classless socialistic society.<\/p>\n Socialism or its Marxist\/Leninist ideal, Communism, is the antithesis of the individual … you!\u00a0 If you believe in the freedom of man, yours and that of your neighbor, you must make yourself conversant with the tenants of freedom and that of its enemies and then do all in your power to preserve the great American Republic.<\/p>\n It is up to you … and the time is now!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the most poignant moments to remember of the 1960’s is that of Nikita Khrushchev, the communist leader (dictator) of the Soviet Union, standing in the United Nations, banging the heel his shoe on the table and shouting at … Continue reading
