The floods in China…
Make our experience look like an overflowing bathtub.
Socialism
From “The Peoples Cube”
We’ve all heard about the Antifa collective who have seized six city blocks in downtown Seattle and are now trying to set up a collective farm there to grow their own food.
As a former Soviet citizen, I feel obligated to offer their leaders advice based on practical experience.
Since none of you know how to grow seeds into beets, make Mike Bloomberg your minister of agriculture; he’ll be your best expert. Coerce him into joining your collective farm. That way, what’s yours will be his, and vice versa. That’s a lot of seed money.
For a collective farm to work you must first cleanse your ranks of wreakers, spies, saboteurs, and other enemies of the people, once you collectivize their property. Convert one of the six city blocks into a Gulag (aka concentration camp or forced labor camp), where these thoughtfelons can redeem themselves by toiling for the Common Good™ planting beets.
Then there’s an issue of some collective farmers being more successful than others. Round them all up, label them kulaks, and dekulakize them. Convert one more city block into a forced labor Gulag. Now, with so much free labor, you’re bound to have great economic success and prove to the hateful world that your way is better than their capitalist wage slavery and oppression…
Socialism doesn’t work !
Not in Cuba or Venezuela , it won’t work in America, nor in Vermont.
Once it’s given a foothold it can only be maintained by the point of a bayonet, by mass arrests and prison.
And an army of informers.
Some Louder with Crowder
“Democratic Socialism” , Nothing but a slippery slope.
And denying human nature.
The Pied Piper of Socialism and “Skulls full of Mush”
The Children’s Crusade to “Save the Planet”.
Obviously indoctrination works, because climate change is a hoax.
Middlebury, Vermont and and all over the world.
“This movement had to happen, we didn’t have a choice. The vast majority of climate strikers taking action today aren’t allowed to vote. Imagine for a second what that feels like. Despite watching the climate crisis unfold, despite knowing the facts, we aren’t allowed to have a say in who makes the decisions about climate change. And then ask yourself this: wouldn’t you go on strike too, if you thought doing so could help protect your own future?”
Greta Thunberg a teenager from Sweden has become famous for instigating a world wide youth climate movement.
On 24 November 2018, she spoke at TEDxStockholm.[13][14][6] She spoke about realising, when she was eight years old, that climate change existed and wondering why it was not headline news on every channel, as if there was a world war going on. She said she did not go to school to become a climate scientist, as some suggested, because the science was done and only denial, ignorance and inaction was remaining. Speculating that her children and grandchildren would ask her why they had not taken action in 2018 when there was still time, she concluded with “we can’t change the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed.”[15]
Oh yes, the science is settled and what rules are we talking about Greta?
On 23 January 2019, Thunberg arrived in Davos after a 32-hour train journey,[19] in contrast to the many delegates who arrived by up to 1,500 individual private jet flights,[20] to continue her climate campaign at the World Economic Forum.[21][22] She told a Davos panel “Some people, some companies, some decision makers in particular have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money. I think many of you here today belong to that group of people.“[23] Later in the week, she warned the global leaders that “Our house is on fire” adding “I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. We owe it to the young people, to give them hope.”[24][25
Yes, yes root out those who are only “pretending”.
These “Children” believe that they are “saving their future”. They do not have a clue. If the insanity of the Green New Deal were to become the law of the land these little squirts can kiss their freedom, and lifestyle goodbye.
This movement grew so fast because the leftest political machine (Marxist, socialist,communist, take your pick) which control academia (indoctrination) and the media (propaganda) on both sides of the Atlantic.
Human beings have only two ways to deal with each other: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
This applies also between Government and the Governed . Government passes laws that require enforcement in which the threat of FORCE…drawn guns, arrest, fines, imprisonment is utilized.
According to A.O.C. Al Gore and the I.P.C.C. we only have 12 years to save the planet.
That can only be accomplished via top down Totalitarian government. Libs are trying to say that the “G.N.D.” would be implemented like F.D.R.’s New Deal.
Being that we have a world full of frightened children and millennials I’m afraid that it would have to be like Stalin’s Five Year Plans. Where the ends will justify any means. Because it’s saving the planet we’re talking about.
Marching to the Brave New World.
John and Yoko…Hypocrites Extraodinaire
“One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. “Joseph Stalin
John Lennon did not deserve being murdered on his doorstep. When someone famous and influential is suddenly cut down one always has to wonder “what might have been”. though it is based on the word of only one person of dubious credibility. John Lennon was so disgusted with Jimmy Carter that if he could have voted he would have voted for Ronald Reagan.
According to the Toronto Sun, Seaman added that Lennon was embarrassed by his earlier radicalism.
“I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who’s an old-time communist… He enjoyed really provoking my uncle… Maybe he was being provocative… but it was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism,” Seaman reportedly said. “He was a very different person back in 1979 and ’80 than he’d been when he wrote ‘Imagine.’ By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy’s naivete.”
Yes, the source is questionable, too bad we’ll never know for sure. People do change but since Lennon is dead everything is set in stone.
A John and Yoko documentary aired on the A&E Channel Monday. Above us only sky. An intimate look at the making of “Imagine”.
When driving in my car and listening to satellite radio whenever Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ comes on I immediately switch the channel to prevent my puking all over the steering wheel. The same thing happens whenever a Bruce Springsteen song comes on.
Like many great Beatle songs ardent fans will often argue over the true meaning of “Imagine.” Always the most political of the Beatles, Lennon once confessed to being “an instinctive socialist.” He also once stated that “Imagine” was “virtually a communist manifesto, even though I’m not a communist and do not belong to any movement.
But…Churlish listeners had a problem with the “no possessions” line, finding Lennon hypocritical because he was so well-off. Yoko Ono addressed this in a 1998 interview with Uncut, where she stated regarding her husband’s intentions: “He sincerely wished that there would be a time when all of us could feel happy without getting too obsessive about material goods.”
Of course… we all look for and hope for the coming Utopia. Just not in our lifetimes…please.
John Lennon’s Net worth at the time of his death was between 200-250 million dollars. Yoko, a bankers daughter was one hell of a financial manager.
Socialism for thee but not for me.
You fools.
The Japanese artist has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Ono Burger” chain) in Tokyo, a Football Team (the “Tokyo Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderono – Japan), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Yoko) and a fashion line called “Yoko Ono Seduction
Money!! And that’s what she made for John and herself.
Well I guess…
It was just his imagination…running away from him
John LennonJohn Lennon‘s lovely tune, Imagine, is (indeed) a musical rendition of The Communist Manifesto. “There is no real Communist state in the world,” Lennon said, “You must realize that.” (This is the usual denial, that true Communism is ideal Communism, never actual Communism.) “The Socialism I speak about … [is] not the way some daft Russian might do it, or the Chinese might do it,” he said, “That might suit them.” (One doubts that the tens of millions of victims of the Soviets and Maoists thought it “suitable”). “Us, we should have a nice … British Socialism,” he said. Lennon didn’t grasp that Marxism is a disaster, across times and cultures.
It just hasn’t been done correctly ya know…The right people ya know
America today is at a crossroads that it has not seen since the Civil War. It’s turning its back on God and embracing the cult of Marxism, Socialism, Communism, and Progressivism. Ancient Israel did this several times, it did not end well.
I do not begrudge Yoko, Bruce, or any filthy rich celebrity leftest the fortunes that they legally accumulated.
It’s their hypocrisy, arrogance, and their hatred of hard working Americans who happen to love their freedom and country that makes me want to wretch.
Today in History, March 5th 1953
The Most Powerful Man of the 20th Century died on this day. Socialism’s greatest champion.
Dear old Uncle Joe.
The man feared by all. So feared that no one dared enter his room because he ordered them not to without his permission. He laid in a puddle of his own urine for over 12 hours.
But he certainly knew how get thing done.
“The press must grow day in and day out – it is our Party’s sharpest and most powerful weapon”
“To choose one’s victims, to prepare one’s plan minutely, to slake an implacable vengeance, and then to go to bed… There is nothing sweeter in the world.“
“Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!”
“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.”
“Education is a weapon the effect of which is determined by the hands which wield it, by who is to be struck down.”
As we’ve been told we’ve only twelve years to save the planet.
Bernie says that you “cannot go too far to save the planet”.
If only “Uncle Joe ” were alive. He would be able to “save the planet”.
Remember that a giant of Socialism died this day.
Of course the Russians have been meddling
It’s be going on a long long time.
34 years ago, a KGB defector chillingly predicted modern America
In 1984, Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin from which much can be learned today. His most chilling point was that there’s a long-term plan put in play by Russia to defeat America through psychological warfare and “demoralization”. It’s a long game that takes decades to achieve but it may already be bearing fruit.
And this explains why young millennials in general and leftist millennials in particular seem to be oblivious to the facts that can be seen right before their eyes. That they have deluded themselves to an ideology that produces nothing but abject misery and the destruction of liberty. And the lessons of history mean absolutely nothing.
He used the examples of 1960s hippies coming to positions of power in the ’80s in the government and businesses of America. Bezmenov claimed this generation was already “contaminated” by Marxist-Leninist values. Of course, this claim that many baby boomers are somehow espousing KGB-tainted ideas is hard to believe but Bezmenov’s larger point addressed why people who have been gradually “demoralized” are unable to understand that this has happened to them.
Referring to such people, Bezmenov said:
“They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.”
What is happening right now in Venezuela just doesn’t seem to register.
And this is the most disturbing part.
In what is perhaps a most striking passage in the interview, here’s how Bezmenov described the state of a “demoralized” person:
“As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.”
Joe McCarthy in my opinion has been vindicated.
They have taken control of academia, the media, and the culture.
This is how a state like Vermont can go from this.
To this.
In less then a century.
The left came so close, Hence the fury.
We live in interesting times.
