American capitalism gone with a whimper - Pravda.Ru

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

No shit!!

And nobody in congress is even bothering to question the executive branch ruling by fiat, like a bunch of autocrats.

If the current bunch had (R)s by their names, the left and the media (redundant, I know) would be having a collective bed wetting festival.

I can't wrap my brain around the why. Why so many in our country want this. But, it is here..not coming, but here.

Its just all part of the swinging of the political pendulum. We spend a few years under a right wing Republican President, and then we shift to a left wing Communist, Socialist
Barack Obama type President. Before you know it we will have another Republican President in the White House.!$$!

 

[Agnapostate]

A typical economically ignorant analysis that dismisses the obvious reality that socialism necessitates the collective ownership of the means of production in favor of the pathetically inane "government = socialism" myth, despite the fact that many modern forms of socialism emphasize a minimization or abolition of government, though I suppose Marxism and its derivatives remain an exception in many ways.

I don't necessarily see it that way. Not this round. I don't think we have stooped this ''low'' before, have we?
Government has not had this much control before, has it?

i love the fact that this is coming from Pravda

And I love the fact that Pravda sounds exactly like every Commie Red State CON$ervative. It's not for nothing that CON$ are the REDS and Libs are the TRUE BLUE Americans.

Sounds more like a page from Gramsci's counter hegemony handbook.

The Russians would be one of the 1st to recognize socialism when they saw it...they lived it, when will the blinder wearing liberals open their eyes to see what Obama is doing to our country?

Is their white guilt so ingrained that they will over look anything this man does? (for the simple fact he is black?)

They moaned and groaned over Bush's spending...sending our children into ever ending debt...my God this man has not only sent our children into never ending debt, but our grand children and there grand children as well.

No, they didn't. You've committed the basic economic error of confusing socialism with state capitalism, but legitimate socialism necessitates the public ownership and management of the means of production, a condition that was not present in the USSR.

[Agnapostate]

The Soviet economy didn't even muster Marxism, let alone any other form of socialism. Libertarian socialists in particular have traditionally been at the forefront of socialist condemnations of the USSR. For instance, Noam Chomsky puts it thusly in The Soviet Union Versus Socialism.

The Leninist antagonism to the most essential features of socialism was evident from the very start. In revolutionary Russia, Soviets and factory committees developed as instruments of struggle and liberation, with many flaws, but with a rich potential. Lenin and Trotsky, upon assuming power, immediately devoted themselves to destroying the liberatory potential of these instruments, establishing the rule of the Party, in practice its Central Committee and its Maximal Leaders -- exactly as Trotsky had predicted years earlier, as Rosa Luxembourg and other left Marxists warned at the time, and as the anarchists had always understood. Not only the masses, but even the Party must be subject to "vigilant control from above," so Trotsky held as he made the transition from revolutionary intellectual to State priest. Before seizing State power, the Bolshevik leadership adopted much of the rhetoric of people who were engaged in the revolutionary struggle from below, but their true commitments were quite different. This was evident before and became crystal clear as they assumed State power in October 1917.

Anarchists and other libertarian socialists would of course be at the forefront of disavowals of Soviet methods and ideologies, per their strong anti-authoritarian stance, but any other legitimate socialist will find him or herself in a stance of general opposition to the Soviet Union also.

This was published in a Russian paper. Not only does it not show me the love that was promised if only we'd elect Obama, it also gives a good glimpse of what our future might hold if we can't reign this administration in a little.

 

[Neubarth]

It would appear that things are a lot more worse than the Obama administration is letting on. The FDIC has requested an additional 58 Billlion dollars to make it through the next year.

They are projecting a tremendous number of banks will fail.
The stress test was an indication of how bad they expect things to get.
The smart people are moving their investment offshore.

What do they know that we don't know? What are we not being told?
