The Hidden Threat of Communism in America

It's really not so hidden any longer, and what's sad is that it doesn't even have to be.
 
.......
Now perhaps I might see it that way because I actually know what Communism is because I grew up when people were taught what communism was.
Oddly, the ideology of Marxist Socialist Communism is no longer hidden and is displayed daily openly within the halls of Congress by dedicated and card-carrying elected members of the Democratic Party.
.......
That's some pretty ridiculous conspiracy theory ya gots there pally. :laughing0301:

So you know what communism is, eh? How about a little description for me?

The Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) was begun and funded by the Communist Party USA in the 1970's. Many Congress persons and at least on Senator are active members.
The following information is the evidence that you apparently and seemingly are ignorant of.

Ah! So you don't know what communism is after all. Anyone can post links to things they don't know.

Apparently you're afraid to expose yourself for your BS.

It's plainly obvious that you deny the truth even when it's right in front of you.
 

The Hidden Threat of Communism in America

Like a small, unnoticed fire in the basement which can destroy your home, Communism is lurking in the shadows of our nation.

17 Sep 2021 ~~ By David Mills
Americans don’t know enough about communism to see it when it starts here. Writing in the Tablet, Mary Mycio notes that we have “a certain herd immunity to Nazism and fascism.” But not to communism.
The Soviet Union fell a long time ago, as people’s memories go. It fell almost 30 years ago. That means that no one under 45 or 50 will have any real memory of communism as a living force in the world. They know about Cuba because it’s close to us and about weird little places like North Korea. They don’t seem to think of China as a communist country. A few people try to say this, pointing to the state’s genocidal wars on its people, like the Uygurs. But few seem to care.
“After a generation of forgetting,” Mycio writes, “we have few cultural T-cells left to recognize coercive unanimity, punitive group think, and other warning signs when they appear in the body politic.” She lived in communist Ukraine and watched the Soviet Union fall after 70 years of tyranny. She wrote a book about the Chernobyl disaster, which exemplified the Soviet system. “Americans and others across the West,” she writes, “have simply forgotten about it all, or never learned about it in the first place.”
As far as I can tell, most people who think about communism at all don’t worry about it. They worry more about other people worrying about it.

Lewis and Acton Knew This​

C.S. Lewis knew this. Writing during World War II, he worried that the “masters’ running things wouldn’t go away when the war was over. “Those who wish for whatever reason to keep their fellow-citizens regimented longer than is necessary will certainly say they are doing so in the interests of security.” Bossy people will always have a good-sounding reason for continuing to boss people around.
So did Lord Acton, author of the famous line, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” And of a just as famous but not as well-known follow-up line: “Great men are almost always bad men.”
It’s a dark view of men in power, but then God Himself through the psalmist tells us not to put our trust in princes. The psalmist says not to do that because they die and their works will pass away, but we take from the whole of Scripture a warning against trusting people in power to serve us and the common good rather than themselves.
This is, as it happens, both a conservative and a leftist insight. Disciple of Edmund Burke or of Karl Marx, you know the modern state can’t be left on its own. It cannot be trusted always to act well nor to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. It must be watched, closely, and all the time.

Commentary:
My Kudos to Mr. Mills, he's described what has been openly hidden within America and infiltrated and woevn into our politics, media, and education of our young.
I can’t fully agree with the idea that it is hidden. They seem to be pretty much in our face with it.
They now call it “Progressivism” because it sounds nice and positive forward-sounding and doesn’t conjure up images of gulags and commissars. This is directly out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, “Rules for Radicals.”
A Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat, Barack Hussein Obama Jr., aka Barry Soetoro told us that under his administration beginning January 21, 2009, he would seek the "Fundamental Transformation of America" and in doing so destroy the U.S. Constitution and it's Bill of Rights in the process.
Now perhaps I might see it that way because I actually know what Communism is because I grew up when people were taught what communism was.

It hasn't been hidden since the late 60's to the early 70's when they forced God and discipline out of the schools. It's just gotten progressively worse since.

No. You might read my post here.
Okay. Well, the Soviet Union was a miserable failure, it bankrupted itself.

To my knowledge there has only been ONE successful communist system ever in history, and that was in Kerala India.

Every other communist effort has fallen flat on its face. The Chinese became capitalist, the Cubans were always capitalist, and Kim in NK is just an idiot and the story stops there.

I personally don't like communists. Commies are thieves. Every communist I've ever known has tried to steal my stuff. They think my stuff is theirs, and it's not.

Well, I don't consider it a communist system unless it's a NATIONAL communist system, and there has never been one because there hasn't been enough time for one to develop if you accept Marx's concept of communism and how it develops.

Regarding Cuba, they are not capitalist and they are not socialist but they are in a transitional stage that has continued to evolve and develop for all these years as they "build socialism" as they put it, meaning they aren't there yet. They just recently began transitioning state-owned businesses to worker co-ops and I find that exciting.

I find it "less than exciting" that my compensation should be tied to someone else's job performance.

The joke in the old Soviet Union was, "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us". :p

This is what I mean, all collective forms eventually devolve to the lowest common denominator.

And actually my view is that it's less about "the system" and more about human nature. The greedy bastards can rip off a communist system just as easily as a capitalist system.

I like exceptionalism, and society benefits when it's rewarded. It makes for a real economy too, no country can survive with an economy that consists of darning each others' socks.
