…about the machinations of Marxism in Soviet Russia, and in the current United States.



1.There are lots of folks who are perfectly content to be cognizant of only those things that pertain to those functions that maintain their particular lives. That probably explains why Democrat voters are, largely, non-readers. They believe the dogma that big government will cosset and comfort them from cradle to grave. That, in fact, is Marxism.


2. I always viewed Winchester’s description of Brits of an earlier time with a certain envy. On Wednesday, June 6, 1928 the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. In The Meaning of Everything, Simon Winchester discusses the English of the time as follows:

“The English establishment of the day might be rightly derided at this remove as having been class-ridden and imperialist, bombastic and blimpish, racist and insouciant- but it was marked undeniably also by a sweeping erudition and confidence, and it was peopled by men and women who felt they were able to know all, to understand much, and in consequence to radiate the wisdom of deep learning.”

In earlier times, the same might have been for the American school system….but no longer. So, if one doesn’t bother to be responsible for their own education, it hardly exists: they vote Democrat.



3. Perhaps few have the time to read extensively, so here is a way to connect the past with the explanation for the times we are living through. “Mr. Jones is a 2019 Polish-Ukrainian-British film that's been kicking around European film festivals for the past year but is getting its first real exposure this month on Amazon Prime.”
The Media's Role in Concealing Stalin's Evils Exposed in Mr. Jones

I just viewed the film….and it is dynamite!!! It tells you everything about Stalin’s genocides in the Soviet Union, about the Left's full court press to influence the world, and makes clear the questions you should have asked in school.




4. In the early years after the Bolshevik Revolution, the communists used manipulations, such as the theatrics of fake Potemkin Villages, to persuade the world how admirable and successful the revolution had been. One technique was to invite prominent American and British leftists to take carefully planned tours. And these ‘Potemkin Progressives,’ for the most part, behaved and thought just as they were meant to: they swooned over the magnificence of Communism. Woodrow Wilson wouldn’t recognize the Bolshevik regime, nor would the contemporary British government. Lenin, and then Stalin, carefully arranged the tours so that these progressives would then go back to their countries and praise Soviet Russia, and have the citizens demand that Russia be recognized.
Today, the same international Left, represented by the Democrat Party, rushes to support and defend every enemy of America.



5. To understand how the current DNC-media axis is using the same sort of manipulation, one must understand both how successful those Bolsheviks were, and how the current ones are doing the same again, and being just as successful with the uneducated.


In the film "Mr. Jones:"
“The scene is Moscow, the year is 1932, and two reporters are in a venomous argument. One has just admitted to filing false stories attributing miraculous economic achievements to Joseph Stalin while ignoring the fact that he's systematically starving peasants by the millions. Hitler, she declares, is on the march in Germany and, soon, the rest of the world, and without Stalin's help, he'll never be stopped.

"You sound like you work for Stalin!" the other reporter declares in horror.

"I don't work for Stalin," the first reporter haughtily insists. "I believe in a movement that's bigger than any one person."


Shuffle some names, faces and insert the phrase "moral clarity" in there somewhere, and this could be a right-this-minute conversation between American journalists. And as the remarkable and riveting Mr. Jones makes appallingly clear, the first one didn't end well.” Reason, Op. Cit.

The film, “Mr. Jones,” is the real history, not the government school variety.....and presages our fate.
 
I'm blanking on where today's socialists/journalists can point to?

It looks more like TDS than Bolshevism to me.

Two remarkable similarities between then and now:
The dominant political party stands for the same views as Stalin's Bolsheviks, and the insouciant news media is willing to cover up and lie for them.

I hope you get to see the film.

6. The eponymously named film, “Mr. Jones,” tells the story of journalist Gareth Jones, and “… resurrects two little-remembered tales of the 1930s. One is Stalin's deliberate infliction of a famine on the peasants of the Ukraine that killed between four million and seven million of them. The other is how Western journalists, particularly those of The New York Times, deliberately covered up the mass murder.”
Reason, Op. Cit.



The insightful viewer will, one hopes, connect the facts in the film with questions such as why, when no previous President would shake the blood drenched hand of the Bolsheviks, Franklin Roosevelt made recognizing the regime one of his first official acts…

FDR came into office March 4th of 1933. One of his first official acts was to recognize the USSR, November 16th, 1933.

If this act, based on FDR's additional pro-Soviet endeavors, was rational....then these folks must have been irrational: "Four Presidents and their six Secretaries of State for over a decade and a half held to this resolve," i.e., refusal to recognize the Soviet government. That was written by Herbert Hoover, one of those four Presidents. He wrote it in his Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath by George H. Nash, published posthumously, obviously, in 2011, pg 24-29.


There are two things to realize about Democrat voters who become aware of these facts: they didn’t know, and they don’t care.
 
7. Not everyone was fooled.

English journalist Malcolm Muggeridge took the tour in the early 30’s, and wrote about how gullible these Potemkin Progressives were. “The spectacle of them traveling, with radiant optimism through a famished countryside, wandering in happy bands about squalid overcrowded Soviet towns, listening with unshakable faith to the fatuous patter of carefully trained and indoctrinated guides, repeating like schoolchildren a multiplication table, the bogus statistics and mindless slogans endlessly intoned to them --all, all chanting the praises of Stalin and his Dictatorship of the Proletariat. It was as though a vegetarian society had come out with a passionate plea for cannibalism, or Hitler had been nominated posthumously for the Nobel Peace Prize."
Malcolm Muggeridge Quotes Author of Something Beautiful for God


a. Muggeridge was mystified by the naïveté of these progressives, the unbelievable credulity of these mostly university-educated ‘tourists’- and it astonished even the Soviet officials! “These fellow passengers provide my first experience of the progressive elites from all over the world, who attached themselves to the Soviet regime, resolved to believe anything they were told!



Was Democrat Franklin Roosevelt just as naïve, just as gullible…..or did he know but didn’t care.s

Surely he had a 'moral compass'.....or did he.
 
The insidiousness of Marxism/communism/socialism and today's "progressivism" is that it SEEMS so logical, and seems so ideal.

One sees great wealth and great poverty, and wonders why some wealth cannot be taken from the Rich and distributed to the Poor, in such a way that everyone ends up happy and more or less satisfied. After all, if you divide up the wealth of a nation among the population, the average wealth would be quite tolerable, especially to those who are now at the bottom of the totem pole.

But the act of redistribution of wealth is not only immoral - theft is kinda bad - but it is also counterproductive. The people whose wealth is confiscated become angry and resentful (and they leave if they can), and the people at the bottom become lazy and "entitled." Moreover, those who oversee the redistribution form an evil Kleptocracy, skimming all they can for themselves, and enforcing the redistribution with the threat of a gun. The pattern repeats itself over and over.

The ones who are most susceptible to the delusion are invariably the offspring of the wealthy. They are unaware of the machinations, effort, etc., that created the wealth that they enjoy, and consequently feel guilty about it. They see those who don't enjoy their privilege [don't you hate using that word anymore?], and wonder why life is so "unfair."

In my limited experience, it takes a period of gainful employment, after full economic emancipation from the Family, to grasp WHY some people have more than others, and WHY it is USUALLY a "just" distribution of income and wealth, and the "injustice" that their contemporaries rail against largely fades into the background.

Which is why the Left is largely populated by people who have never actually worked a real job for a living. Academicians and such. Government workers. Rich kids who have been slotted into lucrative non-working careers. And so on. That's who we are up against.
 
8. Eight months before Roosevelt embraced Stalin’s regime, journalist Gareth Jones [hence the film title, ‘Mr. Jones’] had exposed Stalin's Terror Famine.

This is poignant:
"In the train a Communist denied to me that there was a famine. I flung a crust of bread which I had been eating from my own supply into a spittoon. A peasant fellow-passenger fished it out and ravenously ate it."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Jones_(journalist)



Malcolm Muggeridge "was the first writer to reveal the true nature of Stalin's regime when in 1933 he exposed the terror famine in the Ukraine. "
Time and Eternity: The Uncollected Writings of Malcolm Muggeridge: Malcolm Muggeridge, Nicholas Flynn: 9781570759055: Amazon.com: Books



For those who don't know, Stalin starved millions to death to gain control of their property, collectivize their farms....the same aim of the Democrat Party.


"1932-1933 .... Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished..."
The History Place - Genocide in the 20th Century: Stalin's Forced Famine 1932-33

With nothing to gain, why would Franklin Roosevelt have wedded the nation of America to that of the genocidal psychopath, Stalin.
There are answers….pity the question wasn’t asked long ago.
 
9. A true journalist, Gareth Jones sensed “…something fishy was going on in the Ukraine, the Soviet Union's breadbasket region, which had recently been placed off-limits to foreigners, and was planning to sneak in. Jones decides to do the same, …

Even before he leaves the train, Jones has clues that something has gone deeply wrong. When he offers to buy an overcoat from a Ukrainian passenger, the man begs to be paid in bread rather than currency. When Jones pitches a gnawed apple core into a wastebasket, another man dives into the trash to retrieve it.

…nothing can prepare him for what he sees when he gets off: Stiffened corpses scattered around the train station. Corpses in empty, deserted farmhouses. Corpses stacked on carts moving along village streets. Corpses being chewed on by starving children, who afterward trill a mournful ballad: "Hunger and cold are in our house, nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep and our neighbor has lost his mind and eaten his children… ."
The Media's Role in Concealing Stalin's Evils Exposed in Mr. Jones



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).

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."
 
10. Under the Bolsheviks, the dynasty with which Franklin Roosevelt felt comradeship, slaughter was so omnipresent that corpse-disposal actually became a problem.

There was resistance to the Lefts mandate of collectivism, especially in the Ukraine.


September 11, 1932, Stalin wrote to his assistant, 'We must take steps so we do not lose the Ukraine.' So, 1932-1933, all food supplies in the Ukraine were confiscated.
Those who tried to leave were shot, those who remained, starved to death. Men, women, children. They died tortuously slowly.
NKVD squads collected the dead. They received 200 grams of bread for every dead body they delivered; often they didn't wait until the victim was dead.


'Lazar Kaganovich (together withVyacheslav Molotov) participated with the All-Ukrainian Party Conference of 1930 and were given the task of implementation of thecollectivization policy that caused a catastrophic 1932–33 famine known as the Holodomor. He also personally oversaw grain confiscations during the same time periods.

'Similar policies also inflicted enormous suffering on the Soviet Central Asian republic ofKazakhstan, theKubanregion, Crimea, the lower Volga region, and other parts of the Soviet Union. As an emissary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Kaganovich traveled to Ukraine, the central regions of the USSR, the Northern Caucasus, and Siberia demanding the acceleration of collectivization and repressions against the Kulaks, who were generally blamed for the slow progress of collectivization.'
Lazar Kaganovich - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Nice to know that the Red Menace scare has not gone out of style. I find the whole thing silly since the US is a mix of communism, socialism, and capitalism which is just how it should be since each has positive role to play in our society. Sorry if that hurts your ideological feelings.
 
For those who don't know, Stalin starved millions to death to gain control of their property, collectivize their farms....the same aim of the Democrat Party.
Depriving people to gain control of their property sounds familiar. It seems I've heard something similar to that recently.... Oh, I remember: Wuhan Virus Lockdowns! The corporatocracy will very soon own the personal services (hair, barber, nails) and restaurant market completely in America.

You find the discussion of millions killed at the hands of government silly? You're a true leftist. Most of the leftists will be eradicated by the Communists if they get control - it happened in every single case - but you'll be OK. You're going to get a top spot in the Antifa Police.

11. “During the bitter winter of 1932-33, 25,000 Ukrainians per day were being shot or died of starvation and cold. Cannibalism became common. Ukraine, writes historian Robert Conquest, looked like a giant version of the future Bergen-Belsen death camp.

The mass murder of seven million Ukrainians, three million of them children, and deportation to the gulag of two million more (where most died) was hidden by Soviet propaganda. Pro-communist westerners, like The New York Times' Walter Duranty, British writers Sidney and Beatrice Webb and French Prime Minister Edouard Herriot, toured Ukraine, denied reports of genocide, and applauded what they called Soviet "agrarian reform." Those who spoke out against the genocide were branded "fascist agents." Seven million died in the 'forgotten' holocaust - Eric Margolis



12. “after Jones began writing and giving speeches about the famine, all the foreign correspondents went to a meeting with the chief Soviet censor, who ordered them to denounce the young reporter as a liar. Lyons admits that all the correspondents knew that Jones' stories were absolutely accurate, even though none of them had reported the famine in their own newspapers, due to "the compelling need to remain on friendly terms with the censors."

Duranty was indeed the most bloodthirsty of the bunch. The line in his story about breaking eggs to make utopian socialist omelettes is dead accurate. And it apparently became a guide post for future generations of Times reporters. …Jones discovers Duranty has filed a New York Times story dismissing him as a credulous amateur. There may be a bit of hunger in the Ukraine, Duranty writes, but absolutely no famine. And anyway, what if there was? "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."

As late as 1957, just a few months before Duranty's death, Times publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger wrote him a personal check for $2,500 when he complained his funds were low. In recent years, the paper has been increasingly uneasy about its old reporter, even hiring a historian to evaluate his Soviet coverage. But when the historian suggested Duranty's Pulitzer be revoked, the Times turned self-righteous. "The notion of airbrushing history kind of gives me the creeps," said Bill Keller, the executive editor at the time.” The Media's Role in Concealing Stalin's Evils Exposed in Mr. Jones

Wow....that poster certainly put you in your place.

His post would have produced shame in a normal person.


But you could have explained to him that you're a supporter of the death party, and you meet the slaughter of seven million Russians with a shrug.


Just as this other subhuman did:
When I pointed out that his antecedents, the communists, slaughtered 100 million men, women and children.....he sneered at the deaths this way:



"Sure it wasn't 100 billion?"

13. Understanding what the Bolsheviks were able to do, and with whose help, is the start to understanding the power and influence neo-Marxism has in our government, our schools, and our media.



…. why don't folks know about the Communist concentration camps that "preceded the Nazis in creating such camps and killed an even larger number"??
Government schooling.

Government school provides this great benefit to the descendants of the Bolsheviks, that would be today’s Democrat Party, in that students are ignorant of the fact that the communists under Stalin were worse by every metric, than the Nazis that they taught to build concentration camps.




"While many Westerners recall Nazi-run death camps like Auschwitz and Buchenwald, few remember Soviet death camps named Kolyma and Magadan. True, Alexander Solzhenitsyn mentioned them in "The Gulag Archipelago" as did Varlam Sjalamov in "Tales from Kolyma," but as the late Swedish journalist Andres Kung wrote, "There are people who have still not heard of these communist extermination camps -- even though the communists preceded the Nazis in creating such camps and killed an even larger number of people in their camps."

Shuffle some names, faces and insert the phrase "moral clarity" in there somewhere, and this could be a right-this-minute conversation between American journalists. And as the remarkable and riveting Mr. Jones makes appallingly clear, the first one didn't end well.” Reason, Op. Cit.

The film, “Mr. Jones,” is the real history, not the government school variety.....and presages our fate.
Nice to know that the Red Menace scare has not gone out of style. I find the whole thing silly since the US is a mix of communism, socialism, and capitalism which is just how it should be since each has positive role to play in our society. Sorry if that hurts your ideological feelings.

Wow....that poster certainly put you in your place.

His post would have produced shame in a normal person.


But you could have explained to him that you're a supporter of the death party, and you meet the slaughter of seven million Russians with a shrug.


Just as this other subhuman did:
When I pointed out that his antecedents, the communists, slaughtered 100 million men, women and children.....he sneered at the deaths this way:



"Sure it wasn't 100 billion?"
FDR Admiration Society



Seems to me you'd be more comfortable on all fours.
You mean the poster that predicted I'm "going to get a top spot in the Antifa Police"? Seems like his grip on reality is a bit tenuous.

My 'shrug' was for your attempt to link FDR to the millions killed in the USSR. The USSR certainly spied on the US just as the US spied on the USSR. They were a brutal, authoritarian regime. It was power and paranoia that made them monsters, not FDR. What FDR did was in the interests of the US.
