Danger to Human Freedom from resurgent Marxism

Human freedoms are under attack from resuregent Marxism. Marxists' claims and stated aims are different, but their purpose is different. It is capture of power by false propaganda and by any means. Marxist falsehoods should be exposed.

 

And they call it "progressivism" which is just a euphemism. The left can only achieve power through deceit.

 

The Republican Party has used trickle down and intellectual property laws to collectivize all production.

The "law and order" Republicans have built the largest prison system in recorded history.

The Red Party wants a Stalin wall at our border.

The overwhelming majority of those who seized legal control over American factories and defected to communist China with them are proud to be Republicans.

The Red Party has infiltrated our churches. The Bible has been altered beyond belief. Our hymnals have been thrown in the trash and worship is now conducted from a copyrighted bulletin which delivers a message that has more to do with the recent trials and tribulations of the Red Party than it has to do with the spiritual lives of the individual congregants.

The Red Party wants the functions of government to be taken over by the business collective.

The Red Party hates individualism and thinks people should not be "special snowflakes" but only live to be productive members of the business collective.

The Red Party wants to deprive people of their property so a foreign member of the collective can run a pipeline. The Red Party is known to be abusers and misusers of eminent domain in order to destroy property rights and assert that the ultimate control of all real property is in the hands of the business collective.

Members of the Red Party can chant "lefty, lefty" until their lungs bleed but at the end of the day if you are a "law and order" Republican then, by Marx and Engels definition laid out in the Manifesto, you are a communist.

 

I'd like to cross reference this response to America's educational failures thread.

 

it's funny watching US conservatives whine about leftism. They don't even understand Obama leans right. God only knows what kind of meltdown they'd have if they were transplanted into an actual leftist nation.

 

That's how far left our country has actually moved. Alleging Obama leans right! I'd like to get an example of Obama "leaning right" if I may.

 

it's how far right it's moved, actually, since Obama's seen as a far leftist. If you were in Venezuela you'd have a point that your country was under the leftist cosh. All western politics is either middle or right leaning. There are mildly leftist elements within all of that but they're pretty much off to the side and certainly not in any usefully powerful position.

US democrats are middle/right. US conservatives are right/far right.

 

Enlightening. This tells me exactly how far left you are. Using the Venezuelan model. At least you didn't use China or North Korea.

 

Only the brain-dead prefer Marxism.

Poster child for Marxism: Zimbabwe.

 

It's a sad state of affairs when grown men limit themselves to the measurement of others according to political ideology.

 

You mean it doesn't matter to you if a person was influenced his younger, informative years by a communist mentor, or had a domestic terrorist as a friend? never mind.
I like to know where a person sits before he or she tells me where they stand.

 

It means you don't know what my politics is or isn't. You have a story, though.

 

Only by European standards. By American standards, he's a radical leftist.

This works both ways. Whiny liberals who accuse conservatives of wanting some kind of ridiculous theocracy would (*)(*)(*)(*) their pants if they were transplanted to an actual theocracy like somewhere in the middle east. A place where religion is law and people are put to death for heresy and homosexuality.

 

That's where you're wrong.

 

Nah, I think I'm going to stick with me knowing what my politics is, or isn't, and that you've created a story about where I show up on your leftist scale because it fits your presently held belief system.

 

By US right wing standards he's a radical leftist although I doubt many right wing politicians think he is. For the base they'll say it, though.

ME theocracies? Hardly anyone wants to be there. That's good, right?

 

What falsehoods? start naming them .

 

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. 14 years ago I was extolling the virtues of Castro and Cuba. So, been there.

 

1. Everyone is equal, but some are more equal.
2. You didn't build that windmill.

 

Marx never mentions anything like this so it is not a falsehood but your ignorance.

next.

 

dude, do you have any idea why Marxism fails? It is because of the very nature of man. The need to be free to express the virtues of Liberty and Freedom. The one essential thing that currently separates us from the Marxist is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Under Marxism, such things only provide a detriment to an indentured population.

 

I got it , you have no idea of what you are talking about .

Is anyone with a proper education willing to talk with me about the falsehoods of Marxism ?

 

Well, I suppose we both now know at least a part of what informs your story telling. I suggest ensuring those stories are about yourself because expanding them to include me isn't working out so well for you.

 

Do you have any examples here?

 

I thought Cuba was your favorite example........
