Yes, You're A Communist

We are basking in the afterglow of a once great nation.

Thanks for the "study" suggestion. However k-girl has a specific time frame in mind so I'd rather get that from the horse's mouth and not flounder around American history searching for some time period that may or may not conform to the exact period she has at her finger tips. Surely she's willing to share this knowledge with we unwashed and ill-informed?

The explosion and prospering of the middle class is a well known period, the Market Revolution, that defined America as a nation and led to 150 years of growth and prosperity. As we march bravely into this new dark age, it may be good to know what it was that once made us a prosperous people.

One can only cry upon reading the posts of the neo-socialists.
Seems we cannot avoid the 'bell curve' of history.

Am I being naive? I thought you would approve of my search for knowledge. Maybe I'm misinterpreting this "bell curve" stuff but I've got a nagging feeling you're poking fun at my lack of knowledge regarding this great golden age of Economic Miracles that K-girl describes thusly - "When we functioned more purely as a capitalistic society, before welfare and unions and federally run schools and oppressive.land use policies, the.middle.class exploded, flourished, and expanded." Now I'm truly sorry but as soon as K-girl gives me some specific dates I can repair my apparently flawed time-line of American history that seems to be barren of the particular era she speaks of.

???

Are you asking what I meant by the 'bell curve' of history?

America was once the shining city on the hill....all that changed via the malfeasance of our 32nd President.
Now, we have true ignoramuses who favor socialism/collectivism over capitalism/individualism.

Clear enough?

Surprising how many good Americans have been fooled into accepting, and voting for, communism. And when the truth is revealed, they are startled, incensed, and furious that anyone would say such a thing.

But it's true. There is no essential difference between communism, socialism, Liberalism and/or Progressivism. At the heart of each is a faith and adherence to big, overarching government, the representative of the collective, at the cost of individual liberty and freedom.

How did communism become the public religion of America? The following will explain, ....as we say in science....'its origin and insertion."


In a recent thread, one that illustrated the connections between environmentalists, communists, with the confiscation of private property, a government school graduate demonstrated how offended she was by posting this as part of a scathing disavowal of the above:

"OP tries to connect communism to the moderate left wing democrats." One More Of Those Environmentalist Fairytales

Clearly, an intervention is sorely needed.

It follows:



1. Karl Marx's lethal philosophy is the basis of both communism and of Nazism.

a. A year after Lenin's death, 1924, the NYTimes published a small article about a newly established party in Germany, the National Socialist Labor Party, which "...persists in believing that Lenin and Hitler can be compared or contrasted...Dr. Goebell's....assertion that Lenin was the greatest man second only to Hitler....and that the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was very slight...." NYTimes, November 27, 1925.

b. "Hitler often stated that he learned much from reading Marx, and the whole of National Socialism is doctrinally based on Marxism."
George Watson, Historian, Cambridge.

c. "Socialists in Germany were national socialists, communists were international socialists."
Vladimir Bukovsky.



2. I don't use "lethal" in a cavalier fashion: Over 100 million men, women, and children were slaughtered by Soviet Communism alone. When that fact was stated, one inveterate Liberal poster laughed, and said 'You sure it wasn't 100 billion?'
And the horrors of Nazism are well known. But both began here:

a. "Early socialists publically advocated genocide, in the 19th and 20th centuries. It first appeared in Marx's journal, Rheinishe Zeitung, in January of 1849. When the socialist class war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe, two stages behind- not even capitalist yet- the Basques, the Bretons, the Scottish Highlanders, the Serbs, and others he calls 'racial trash,' and they will have to be destroyed because, being two stages behind in the class struggle, it will be impossible to bring them up to being revolutionary." George Watson, Historian, Cambridge University.

b. "The classes and races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way...they must perish in the revolutionary holocaust." Karl Marx, People's Paper, April 16, 1856, Journal of the History of Idea, 1981

c. "Before Marx, no other European thinker publically advocated racial extermination. He was the first."
George Watson.

Serious necro digging, Herr Nazi.

Sadly, what we see is the fall and rise of fascism - the democrat party is classical fascism - mixing in the race hatred of whites as a scapegoat, a focal point for hatred by the democrat Reich - and the simple truth is that the democrats are the Nazi party reawakened.

That is some deep stupidity.
