Choosing Your Revolution

[PoliticalChic]

What you never learned has left you adrift in a political tide you don’t understand. And you know to whom that is addressed.



1.Mark Twain may have been correct about history…’ History Doesn't Repeat, But It Often Rhymes…but sometimes reality overpowers that witticism. We are living in a period where two monumental events clashed, and appear to be doing the same once again.

2. Two diametrically different revolutions, the American and the French, appear to have been historical laboratories of experimentation on the issue of democracy. They were based on very different supposition about governance and on human nature and about religion.

“If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century.

In fact, Rousseau has been called the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the "people's democracies." French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror

The views embodied in the French Revolution reappeared in the Russian Revolution, and every political endeavor that stemmed from the Bolsheviks……and most strangely….have re-appeared in the ascendancy of the Democrat Party right here in America.




3. Lest any imagine that the re-appearance of elements of the French Revolution is a good thing, here is the CliffNotes version of our point in time:

The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives
a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
“free markets, free voices, free people”

Fascists, Nazis, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists, Jacobins, and Democrats
b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.


None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).
The Democrats check every one of those boxes.

They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Whether personal beliefs, or what we call 'politics,' or perhaps 'religion,' the real idea that determines what we will do in any and every situation, is one simple idea. Either one believes that human lives are sacred, or one believes that they can be exchanged to achieve some secular material goal.





If you voted for Biden, you have chosen your revolution....the French one, the one that produced a slaughterhouse of a nation.

And, it was a poor choice indeed.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Because you are uneducated.....government school and all......you don't know what you have been lied into supporting.


4. The foreign diktats that innervate Democrats/Liberals/Progressives originated with the French Revolution.


There is the oft repeated story about Richard Nixon's visit to Beijing in 1972, during which the Chinese premier, Zhou Enlai, was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. Speaking of an event that took place nearly two centuries previously, Zhou famously commented that it was 'too early to say'.

The truth of the matter is that what the French Revolution stood for serves as the basis for our major political party today, the Democrat Party.




5. Englishman John Locke said that private property and the fruits of our labor are synonymous with liberty, while French favorite, Rousseau, said that property is the original sin of civilization, and that all property must be commonly held and regulated by government for the common good.
Locke believed in equality before the law, but not necessarily of equality of wealth, while Rousseau saw economic inequality as the source of all social ills.
Pretty much Democrat policy.


In the most fundamental sense, one is neither philosophically nor politically American if one votes Democrat: rather, one is under the sway of foreign diktats.

6. Bolsheviks claimed descent: “Historians of the French Revolution, which the Russians saw as a model for their own…” http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpress...b2w4&chunk.id=d0e44&toc.depth=1&brand=ucpress

The terror results in a constant sense of crisis, which is a core mechanism of fascism, because it limits debate and democratic deliberation.


Folks who read books have known about the methods of Democrats, Bolsheviks, Nazis, Fascists, from the start.


“We began this experiment in 1933 under the pressure of an internal economic crisis. We continue and extend it under the necessities of a war crisis....It is born in crisis, lives on crisis, and cannot survive the era of crisis. By the very law of its nature it must create for itself, if it is to continue, fresh crises from year to year. …And our future is all charted out upon the same turbulent road of permanent crisis.” John T. Flynn, "As We Go Marching," p. 256


He wrote that in 1944.

7. And the results of the influence of the French Revolution in our time:



“That’s insane!” These days, how often do we say those words? The litany could go on and on.

Dr. Seuss is suddenly persona non grata, six of his books removed from publication because they are “racist” and “hateful.” That’s insane!



Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has become a widely reviled personality because she claims that boys are born male and girls, female? That’s insane!



Statues of Abraham Lincoln are being torn down and schools named after the Great Emancipator renamed in the cause of fighting racism. That’s insane!



Woke educators decry mathematics education focused on getting “the right answer” as an expression of white privilege and patriarchy. Suddenly math is about social justice. That’s insane!



No. Actually, it’s not. “Canceling,” as it is called, is a coldly calculated strategy implemented with malice aforethought. The goal isn’t to persuade. Social excommunication, media deplatforming, and the trashing of venerable traditions doesn’t seek to reform institutions or promote societal improvement. Rather, the point is to destroy every traditional religious, social, and political institution judged guilty of constructing Western Civilization, toward the end of rebuilding society in the image of Woke.



Let me put it more simply: The French Revolution is attacking the American Revolution.” The French Revolution is Attacking the American Revolution



And every Democrat voter has chosen the French Revolution over our hard-won American Revolution.

 

[PoliticalChic]

8. “The French Revolution isn’t just an historical event. It can also be thought of as a metaphor that describes a particularly destructive Utopian zealotry. ... the American Revolution can refer to more than the events culminating in the founding of the United States, but also, as the embodiment of a value system of ordered liberty and individual freedom. The values of the two upheavals—both historically and as metaphors—could not be more antithetical.”
The French Revolution is Attacking the American Revolution



Why does the liberal establishment, the segment that controls the colleges and universities, wish that American students ignore, remain ignorant about, this historically critical event???

Possibly because students might put two and two together and see this pattern:
a) psychopaths like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, and Chavez use a mob of rabble to gain power,
b) with the same justification, the same objectives, and the same bloody results.
And, might then notice that c) all were praised in the pages of the New York Times,
and d) all were supported by the Democratic Party.


Education is dangerous to the Democrats.

9. A bullet-point lesson on the dramatic differences between two revolutions, the French vs the American

• “The French Revolution is Utopian and believes in the perfectibility of society that requires a strong centralized power structure. The American Revolution is, paradoxically, conservative. Its locus of power is the free individual.
• 
  
• The French Revolution focuses on self-indulgence. The American, on self-restraint.
• 
  
• The French Revolution is authoritarian. It deploys institutional power to coerce adherence to the revolution’s values. In today’s parlance, that goal is equity, meaning equality of outcomes. The American Revolution stands for equality of opportunity, by creating a system in which people are enabled to go as far as their talent and character allow without regard to the color of their skin, their sex, or any other categorization.
• 
  
• The French Revolution tolerates only approved speech. It dictates acceptable lexicon. The American Revolution understands that reasonable people may differ. The answer to bad speech isn’t to punish but refute it with better speech.” The French Revolution is Attacking the American Revolution

But wait….there’s more!

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. Further comparison between ours and the Democrats….

• “The French Revolution detests traditional religion—particularly orthodox Christianity—and seeks to establish a mandatory secularity in the public sphere to which all must give obeisance. (For example, the Equality Act would impose transgendered ideology throughout society, including forcing women’s sports to let biological males compete.) The American Revolution upholds the free exercise of religion—that is, the right to live according to the precepts of one’s faith—as a fundamental human right. (Thus, religious pacifists may legally escape conscription into the military, even in times of war.)
• The French Revolution feels, that is, its arguments are based mostly in hyper emotionalism. Its great potent tools are moral panic and the aroused mob sweeping all before it. No disagreement allowed. The American Revolution thinks. Its most effective strategy is free and open discourse as applied to established moral and legal principles, from which people are allowed to dissent.

The French Revolution believes in “positive rights” secured by an all-powerful government—even if that means citizens are coerced into their provision. The American Revolution perceives rights as emanating from God or as integral to human nature. Thus, government isn’t established to guarantee happiness but maintain an open and free society for its pursuit.” The French Revolution is Attacking the American Revolution

 

[PoliticalChic]

11. The two revolutions tested as to which system provides a better outcome for citizens.



“The Bible says we will be known by our fruits. I think that is also true of philosophical systems.
The historic fruits of the French Revolution have been despotism, death, and destruction—in the Reign of Terror in France, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and catastrophic Cultural Revolution of China, all of which were pursued with French Revolutionary values and zealotry.


The fruits of the American Revolution have been rising levels of personal freedom in the West unheard of in human history and the creation of the most prosperous society on earth. It is why downtrodden people from the world risk life and limb to get to the United States. They believe in the American Dream.


It will take time for the passions fueling our American French Revolution to bank. But if we stay resolute and defiant, if we resist succumbing to the Jacobins’ bullying, that day will come. As the old saying goes, the Revolution always eats its own.

But I fear our situation is going to get worse before it gets better. Today, Dr. Seuss was canceled. Tomorrow it could be Mr. Rogers—he was, after all a white, male, Christian pastor, who depicted living in a privileged suburban neighborhood, and spoke to his audience of children in the oppressive binary terms, “boys and girls.” Off with his head!
The French Revolution is Attacking the American Revolution



Democrats…..party like it’s 1789….because your revolution may not last.

 

[AFrench2]

Your understanding of the French Revolution and also just basic tenants of Fascism are pretty bad. Early in your diatribe you say two things which are wrong.

Two diametrically different revolutions, the American and the French-PoliticalChic

Both were against the crown to free the people from monarch tyranny. They were actually extremely similar, and France's happened within 15 years of America's and was a large result of seeing American victory, and American diplomacy .


“If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety")-PoliticalChic

No it wasn't. And Robespierre was in power for like 12 months, he shaped almost nothing in French history. This guy named Napoleon came along, may have heard of him.

 

[Lesh]

Hey French...if you read all the way through that diarhea...you're the only one who did.

NO ONE reads her shit

Your remediation continues:


“The French Revolution occurred almost simultaneously with the American Revolution. While sharing many similarities, there was one glaring difference. The French were not Christian and attempted to introduce a godless humanistic government. The result is amply recorded in history books. Instead of the liberty, justice, peace, happiness, and prosperity experienced in America, France suffered chaos and injustice as thousands of heads rolled under the sharp blade of the guillotine.” Religion and Government in America: Are they complementary? — The Mandate

Robespierre used Rousseau’s call for a “reign of virtue,’ proclaiming the Republic of Virtue, his euphemism for The Terror. In ‘The Social Contract’ Rousseau advocated death for anyone who did not uphold the common values of the community: the totalitarian view of reshaping of humanity, echoed in communism, Nazism, progressivism. Robespierre: “the necessity of bringing about a complete regeneration and, if I may express myself so, of creating a new people.” Himmefarb, , “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68.

And, it was a poor choice indeed.

You're trapped in the past. The France of today is a free and civilized society that is comparable to that of the US. Alls well that ends well I'd say.

So you're saying that there is a fundamental difference between France and the US today because they endured different revolutions? If those differences are so important, you should be able to provide us some examples. Or at least a more original insult.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Whether personal beliefs, or what we call 'politics,' or perhaps 'religion,' the real idea that determines what we will do in any and every situation, is one simple idea. Either one believes that human lives are sacred, or one believes that they can be exchanged to achieve some secular material goal.





If you voted for Biden, you have chosen your revolution....the French one, the one that produced a slaughterhouse of a nation.

And, it was a poor choice indeed.

You're trapped in the past. The France of today is a free and civilized society that is comparable to that of the US. Alls well that ends well I'd say.

Spoken like a government school grad, averse to books, and fearful of ever questioning his Wehrmacht...er, Democrat, masters.

So you're saying that there is a fundamental difference between France and the US today because they endured different revolutions? If those differences are so important, you should be able to provide us some examples. Or at least a more original insult.

You are asking me to re-phrase what I put into this brilliant and perfectly constructed thesis?????


See.....this is why you spent the majority of your education career in summer school.


Get back to me when you have an education commensurate with the level of the material in this thread.

I asked about today, you stopped your analysis sometime in the previous century.

I told you not to come back until you had an education that would enable you to understand this thread.....

.....but, of course, we both know your picture would be on a milk container before then.


Actually, you are the reason I come to the board. My doctor is treating me for Low Tolerance Syndrome....she hopes that within a few years I'll be able to put up with morons like you.
