How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World

I often hear from people who are in disbelief that our current state has anything to do with communism or its infiltration of the West (and beyond). There are those that will refuse to look further, but I highly encourage critical thinkers to take a look at this. It is an extremely thorough several part series that starts from the beginning and covers everything from the birth of communism to its infiltration of academia and political institutions around the world.

Perhaps it will break your notion that communism was ever supposed to be a working political utopia and rather understand it was always a flowery sales pitch for a nonexistent political reality, and rather a power grab by getting people to break down their own from the inside.

If you don't feel like watching/listening, then obviously nothing can be said, but these were put together by those that experience(d) communism first-hand. They are extremely thorough and well researched.

halfway through part 1. Summed up, what I've observed, they are putting voice to.

there's no way I'm reading all that

no rational person can deny that communism has failed in North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. China and VietNam are doing better (economically) as they discard the financial aspects of communism (while maintaining the totalitarian aspects).


I wonder if the West is suffering a sort of creeping communism as all the bright college grads from all the big bright schools implement socialism and increased state control. path to?

a reply to: ElGoobero

I think you are on the right track with the totalitarian aspects, that's really what we are seeing. The use of communism as some existential threat being flung around by so many makes for an easily disprovable claim as well as makes people look foolish. Communism and totalitarianism are not the same thing though they share aspects. Capitalism will stay ingrained as part of the US, if any thing it's totalitarianism and technocracy people have to fear.

democracy and capitalism go together
you aren't free if you can't vote
you aren't free if you can't choose your job
you aren't free if you can't express yourself.

and you aren't free if you can't own property and start your own business.

lots of leftists, instead of direct government control, use government power to control businesses with taxes and regulations. actually running the businesses is too much work so we'll let people *think* they're running their businesses while we control and tax them like puppets.

a reply to: ElGoobero
Capitalism can compliment democracy but they aren't synonymous, you can have a democracy where the state controls trade and industry and you can have capitalist society where they are controlled by private families or guilds and not a state.

Feel free and just peruse the subjects that seem interesting. It is all relevant. Chapter 12 might be a place for you to get answers about education. Honestly though this is probably more intended for those who don't think it is happening but still have some semblance of critical thinking skills left and are willing to put in a little effort to educate themselves.

Also, people need to really discard the notion that it is or ever was intended to be a legitimate political system and forget about arguing what is and isn't communism to the letter. It was and always was a power grab leading people to give up their own rights and willingly accept giant brother. Like a sales pitch for a time share -- people wouldn't buy into it if it didn't sound flowery and utopian.

Again, none of this is communism

learn what these words mean first

Learn from people who actually lived it ( people who escaped the Chinese COMMUNIST Party) and put this together. You clearly didn't watch or listen to any of it which is the opposite of critical thinking.

Who cares what you want to call it. The argument that it is or isn't this or that is always the one used to ignore the evidence. It is bad and has infiltrated the US and the west.


Call it Communism, Marxism, Stalinism, Leninism, Socialism, whatever you want, use your preferred word. IT is bad and IT came from the USSR and the CCP and IT has infiltrated and destroyed truth decency, tradition, and morally sound societies across the globe.

We can just call it IT from now on so we can get passed your wrapped axle of what specific word it is.

Communism removes religion as the center of our lives and making government and man the ultimate authority. By removing the concept of divine creation communism strips people of their birthright and heritage of freedom and self-autonomy. If we are not creations of a divine source then we are simply animals to be used like any other resource on the planet. Everything that has changed is based on those simple precepts.

communism = government control of all businesses / industry
said government controls the lives of its subjects
said government is non-democratic
no free speech
no freedom of religion

history has shown that communist governments treat their people as disposable work units. no freedom, no compassion.

people like Lenin and Castro and Hugo Chavez talk very differently when they are seeking power but once in they reveal their true philosophies.

Why are Americans paranoid about communism ?

Weird.

a reply to: Halfswede

Lord Carrington, the head of NATO in the late 80s, said there were two kinds of people in public life: those who could remember the Second World War and those who couldn't. The latter had no idea of what it was like to actually live through it and little grasp of what things like fascism really meant.

Now, we have people who remember the Cold War and global binary politics, and people who don't. The latter have no idea what Marxism or Communism is and use it to label anything they fear or don't understand. They throw the words around out context, unaware that they are using them for their fear value alone.

Marxism is a specific political philosophy. It has never been applied in practice.

Leninism is a different thing, although it has its roots in Marxism. It was applied in Russia in 1917 and adapted in different ways to different situations over the years eg Maoism.

North Korea turned its back on both decades ago, adopting the Juche political system instead.

China turned its back on Maoism decades ago. If you want to read something really interesting, research the relationship between China and MIlton Friedman in the late 80s and early 90s.

Still, a gold star for all that cutting and pasting. That takes dedication.

Lenin's drift away from his original principles is fascinating. Chavez not so much.

But Castro? Castro was never an ideologue. Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos were the ideologues.

One of Castro's first moves was to try and sell Cuba's sugar harvest to the US so they could use the dollars to upgrade Cuba's agricultural infrastucture from tractor spares up. Eisenhower said no, Guevara and Cienfuegos turned him to Moscow.

Castro resented that. Cienfuegos dies in a plane crash soon after and, six years later, Guevera was informally exiled, ostensibly to export revolution abroad.

Had Castro got a better response from Eisenhower, or had Cienfuegos been killed during the revolution and Guevara succumbed to an asthma attack, we would have had a very different Cuba.

Casto never really changed his world views, he knew Marxism more than people think. I remember watching an interview where he makes a stark scenario and simply asks, imagine if everyone in China and India had a car, or if everyone had the economic means to obtain one. Marx on alienation addresses the issue of consumerism, which in Casto's days was ramping up to become a global problem.

Lenin was actually pointing out the flaws in Marxism he changed his world view quite a bit once he was met with so much resistance against the Bolsheviks. I don't know where this idea that communism is this blue print for mans destruction, or that Marx and Engels were some sort of satan worshipers but from what I have gathered, it's literally based off one poem that Marx wrote when he was a angst filled 20 something year old and when he was loosely associated with an anti Christian Zionist Moses Hess. Which both Marx and Engels disagreed with very strongly.

a reply to: Halfswede

No, it matters because people use these words Communism, Socialism, Nazism, Fascism, and they have no idea what they even mean

The USSR and the CCP used the ideas of communism to create a DICTATORSHIP with state-socialism at best, and that is a stretch, if you knew the ideology and theory of Communism you would understand that having a DICTATOR is NOT COMMUNISM

the USSR and CCP didn't create communism, and China is not even close to being Communists now

is North Korea Democratic because it has the name in its title?

a reply to: ElGoobero

No, that is straight False

Communism would be the abolishment of State and Government and the Workers would control the means of production

also, if you believe you need a Government to tell you that you are Free to speak how you want or have a belief system... go read some Max Stirner, you are spooked

USSR
China
Cuba
Venezuela
North Korea
VietNam
Cambodia

all communist
all match what I posted.

do you mean to differentiate between 'theoretical communism' and 'actual historical real-world what happened' communism'?

also, if you believe you need a Government to tell you that you are Free to speak how you want or have a belief system... go read some Max Stirner, you are spooked

tyrannies love to tell their people that they are 'free'.

The "west" goes off on Imperialist death marches around the globe to sustain corporate / consumerist interests and you point out nations that are either not related to such immoral growth, or were products of it.
