The wanna-be American philosopher George Santayana posited '"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
1. Today's review of the history ....the strategy of the Left....reveals what is necessary to have the sort of total acquiesce that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, etc., aimed for, and dictators-in-training such as Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama yearn for.
2. Shocked to see Liberal icon Roosevelt characterized in that manner?
Well....perhaps government schools haven't appraised students of these sorts of actions:
a. Roosevelt and his New Deal bureaucrats studied Mussolini’s corporatism closely. From “Fortune” magazine: ‘The Corporate state is to Mussolini what the New Deal is to Roosevelt.’(July 1934)
"Rex Tugwell, FDR's economic adviser, was opposed to any private business not controlled by the government. General Hugh Johnson was working with Tugwell on a bill to create the NRA, and gave Perkins (Sec'y of Labor) the book by Rafaello Viglione, "The Corporate State," in which the neat Italian system of dictatorship for the benefit of the people was glowingly described."
Francis Perkins, "The Roosevelt I Knew."
(Better look up who Francis Perkins was, Libs....)
Perkins questioned whether Johnson 'really understood the democratic process..." New Dealers had no problem with the fascist nature of their plans.
People were beginning to recognize the fascist nature of the National Recovery Administration(NRA), code when they saw "... the jailing of a New Jersey tailor named Jack Magid, whose crime was pressing a suit for thirty-five cents when the code fixed the price at forty cents."
b. More evidence of Roosevelt's dictator-credentials?
"FDR’S CONCENTRATION CAMPS WERE A WARNING
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order forcibly removed about 120,000 Japanese Americans, mostly U.S. citizens, from their homes.... They were forcibly removed to 10 concentration camps. The government officially called them “relocation centers,” but Roosevelt himself used the words “concentration camp” in a recommendation as early as 1936, as did a military proposal in 1942. The occupants were kept behind barbed wire, and armed guards kept them from leaving."
FDR’s concentration camps were a warning, not a model
3. But...let's cut to the chase:
".... German demonstrators began to tear down the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, irate East German citizens stormed the Leipzig district office of the Ministry for State Security (MfS)—the Stasi, as it was more commonly called."
Stasi
The regime of the Stasi should be one those lessons in history, lessons about the strategy necessary for Leftist regimes, that we dare not ignore.
Details to follow.
