What is Communism

While Communists make full use of liberals and their solicitudes, and sometimes flatter them to their faces, in private they treat them with that sneering contempt that the strong and predatory almost invariably feel for victims who volunteer to help in their own victimization.

THE OVERLOOKED ROLE OF THE DUPE

This is a book about dupes, about those Americans who have unwittingly aided some of the worst
opponents of the United States. Misled about the true aims of foreign adversaries, many Americans (and
other Westerners) have allowed themselves to be manipulated to serve opponents’ interests. Most notably,
after the Bolshevik Revolution and throughout the Cold War, Communists took full advantage of Western
dupes. Indeed, Communist propagandists in the Soviet Union, around the world, and within America itself
conducted this duping on a remarkable, deliberate scale and with remarkable, deliberate craftsmanship—
with America's liberals and progressives as the prime target. Yet the story does not stop with the end of
the Cold War. Unfortunately, dupes have surfaced in the War on Terror—including some of the very same
Americans who unknowingly played the role of sucker to the Soviets—occasionally providing fodder for
Middle East enemies, although the periods, and the processes, are quite different.

From Introduction to Paul Kengor's Dupes
 
I was mistaken about Communism when I was a kid and 20. I knew communism from Yugoslavia, and from the Warsaw Pact. I thought communism is the anti-thesis to the degeneracy and decadence of the liberal system. But I realised communists, already did all these things, or started to do it, the liberals like Biden do, just that they modified it now a bit, and went further. But communism had already ideas of anarchy partly and ideas of communalising female, erasing gender differences etc., but they just didnt went as far as they do now. But basically it is that ideology.
 
From Archibald B Roosevelt's Preface to Color Communism and Common Sense by ex-communist Manning Johnson:

Manning Johnson’s story begins very much like many other Negroes brought up in a religious home. He
was inducted into the “party” largely because of the preachings of a communist Bishop (retired) of the
Episcopal church, William Montgomery Brown. Manning Johnson is a man of ability and education and
felt himself frustrated by his race and color, and fell under the spell of the communist propaganda.

The Communists, however, reckoned without understanding that the man they had enlisted in their cause
had, for them, certain dangerous qualities. He had a Christian upbringing; he was intelligent; and he had courage.

His Christian upbringing made him revolt at the obscene immorality of the Communist Party, and its members.

His intelligence made him see through the stupidity of the communist doctrine, and see that he should
strive to be a first class Negro instead of an imitation of a third class white man.

His courage made him willing to confess his sins in public and try to expiate them.

I hope you will read Manning Johnson’s pamphlet carefully. If you do, you will understand how the
communists have used, and are using, certain American Negroes to the detriment of all Americans—white or black.

You will read the story of one Negro who has gone through the fire, and come out tempered steel.
 
From new Epoch Times story, showing Communism in action in Hong Kong:

Four intruders barged into the printing plant of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times in the early hours of April 12, damaging computers and printing equipment. The attack is believed to be the latest effort by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to silence The Epoch Times.

In an attack on the same facility in November 2019, four masked men set fire to two printing presses. The perpetrators behind the arson attack have remained at large.

Cheryl Ng, a spokeswoman for the Hong Kong edition, said the intrusion was characteristic of the CCP and had the aim of silencing an independent outlet from reporting on topics that are taboo to the communist regime.

Ng condemned the attack and said it was a crime against Hong Kong’s freedom of speech.

The Epoch Times, one of the few independent media outlets in Hong Kong, is known for its uncensored coverage of China, including political infighting within the CCP, the regime’s human rights violations against ethnic minorities and religious groups, and Beijing’s propaganda and influence operations abroad.

From the Preface to the printed edition of Specter of Communism:

Though the communist regimes of Eastern Europe have disintegrated,
the specter of communism has not disappeared. On the
contrary, this evil specter is already ruling our world, and humanity
must not harbor a mistaken sense of optimism. Communism
is neither a trend of thought, nor a doctrine, nor a
failed attempt at a new way of ordering human affairs. Instead, it
should be understood as a devil — an evil specter forged by hate,
degeneracy, and other elemental forces in the universe.
In another dimension, not visible to us, it took the form of a serpent,
then that of a red dragon, and it keeps company with Satan, who
hates God. It exploits low-level beings and demons to wreak havoc
on humankind. The goal of the specter is to ruin humanity. While
the divine offers salvation, communism tells people not to believe in
the divine, attacks human morality so as to make people abandon
tradition, and causes people to disregard the divine’s instruction and,
ultimately, to be destroyed.
 
A little history from the book Specter of Communism:

The Communist Party’s tyranny prompted resistance from the
peasants. In August 1918, peasants in the Penza region rose up in an
armed revolt, which quickly spread to the surrounding areas. The
Party sent troops to suppress the uprisings, and Lenin sent a telegram
to the Penza Bolsheviks:

Hang (and make sure that the hanging takes
place in full view of the people) no fewer than 100
known landlords, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Publish their names.
Seize all their grain from them.
Designate hostages in accordance with yesterday’s telegram.
Do it in such a fashion that for hundreds of kilometers around,
the people might see, tremble, know, shout. ...


In the spring of 1919, starving workers in cities across Russia went on
strike several times to demand the same rations as Red Army soldiers,
as well as the right to free speech, democratic elections, and the abolition
of political privileges afforded to the communists. All these movements
were handled by the Cheka secret police (the forerunner of the
KGB), who jailed or shot the workers.
 
From the Preface to China Coup by Garside:

Before the next National Congress of the Communist Party of
China, due in November 2022, President Xi Jinping will be removed
from office by a coup d’ tat mounted by rivals in the top leadership
who will end the tyranny of the one-party dictatorship and launch
a transition to democracy and the rule of law.
The main body of this book, Part 2, explains why it will happen.
Parts 1 and 3 tell how it may happen; they are semi-fictional—the
people named are real, while the storyline is fiction.
The future I predict depends on men and women in China, the
United States, and its liberal, democratic allies displaying courage
and wisdom. These qualities have been in short supply in recent
years, except in places like Hong Kong and Taiwan, but there is good
reason to believe they are not extinct.
