What communism means, what socialism means, why the man repeating the smear needs you afraid of your neighbors, and five answers short enough to remember tonight.
You are still wrong about what communism is, so you aren’t really helping the situation. There has never been an actual fully communist government. In full communism, everything is owned by the population, in common, not the state. Hence the name communism. All of the governments we cal communist are some sort of authoritarian/totalitarian mishmash.
Mitch, another brilliant piece, thank you,unfortunately the right wing magats are so uneducated and ignorant they won't get it. I remember when I first registered to vote in 1967 even then Republicans were calling Democrats communists, socialists and then baby killers, Democrats were the party of death.
And it continues today and the dumbed down right wing magat voter believes it
And by the way Mitch, not only did you do a great job on this article but the artwork. The commoners gathered around the table is amazing the detail, shading and light. Just wonderful. All except the overlord watching, conniving and cruel. But that is—the way it is.
Good work Mitch. You’re absolutely correct in pointing out that by biting one’s tongue rather than choose to likely end up with an unpleasant encounter. If, in an effort to avoid ugliness we don’t refute the lies we become, at least in part complicit. Too high a price for a moments respite. I prefer the short instant disagreement to the long drawn out one.
You supplied good answers, that if delivered well will make the disagreement more fruitful.
If you look at the platform of the Democratic Socialist party they advocate government taking over the "means of production" straight out of the Communist Manifesto! It is one thing to work for a better social safety net, another to remove private property
It’s always been useful for the USA and the Stalinist despots to agree that the latter are Communist. Marx clearly explained the difference between Socialism and Communism. The Russian Revolution was hugely influential because it did, for a short time, put democratic power into the hands of the small, nascent working class. But it wasn’t able to hold on for long. Stalin, whom Lenin (died Jan 1924, after long incapacity) had specifically warned against, led a brutal counter-revolution, forever damaging the name “Communism”.
Orwell’s Animal Farm describes the process pretty well.
To move beyond a market-based capitalist society we have to understand what that means and why it would be desirable. A post-capitalist society certainly cannot be imposed on people from above. People have to want it for it to work.
Unfortunately, most people do not yet understand what such a society entails and frequently misidentify it with the activities of the state
This new published three-volume work looks in detail at what a post capitalist society would really mean and comprehensively addresses all of the main arguments that have been historically raised against the idea - from "human nature" to the supposed problem of "economic calculation" in the absence of money
Well, well, you sure are someone self-impressed with your elitist ideaology! Wait until the RED-GREEN ALLIANCE catches up with you; and it surely will! In 1979 under POTUS Jimmy Carter's administration, the democratic-socialists, otherwise identified as the hard-core left, joined forces with the Islamic Extremists to weaken and eventually destroy the USA from within. They not only did NOT SUCCEED, the Islamists, in their loyalty to their own cause, EXECUTED countless democratic socialists, also known as MARXISTS, eliminating their own so-called allies who did NOT hold onto the extreme tenants of the ISLAMIC IDEAOLOGY! Make no mistake, this is NOT ABOUT A RELIGIOUS SECT, LET ALONE A RELIGION. ISLAMISM is a POLITICAL MOVEMENT, DETERMINED TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD; HOWEVER METHODICALLY THEY MUST BE ABOUT IT. This is the way it usually ends up. You make a deal with the devil, you pay the price! SHAME ON YOU for apparently not having even an ounce of acknowledgement, let alone compassion, for your own countrywomen who are being assaulted, raped and killed by the Islamic fury due to YOUR government's callous disregard for it's own culture and traditions! It illustrates YOUR IGNORANCE TO THE MAX! You are a City of London-phile! My late dad who passed away some 8.5 years ago at the age of 95 years mentioned to me that he believed the Marshall Plan as utilized by the United States of America to rebuild Western Europe had been occuring for far too long! The Europhiles have been raiding the American taxpayer for decades! Thank God our current POTUS has removed the American Citizenry from that 75- 80 year old trap! Oh, were you aware that a company who sponsors sweepstakes had to cancel both a contest and the trip to the beautiful country of Italy. Their reason stated that the changes in the cultural climate as well as political situtation made them make the decision. Like I said, this political Islamic movement is spreading, and it WILL CATCH UP TO EVEN AN ELITIST LIKE YOURSELF! SIGNING OFF!!!!
He says, “Democrats are violent. They want to set criminals free.”
You say, “Trump pardoned the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6 and hurt and killed Capitol police. ICE agents murdered two US citizens in cold blood for peaceful protesting.”
My very elderly mom was brought to a local ER reporting a tight feeling in her chest, but experienced no difficulty in breathing. She was told by an attending nurse that she had covid. Soon after the nurse left, the doctor on staff csme to her room and offered her a remdedivir shot, which she refused. He never came back into her room to check on her. She wanted to go home, and was discharged within an hour
She was 95 at the time. She has just celebrated her 99th birthday this past March. Here in the USA the most unfortunate truth has come out about the lies as told by Dr. Fauci, who described himself as THE science. No one in my immediate family took the original "vaccine", let alone the "booster shots"; and thank GOD we did not! No one that I know of took bleach as a cure for the disease. Yes, ivermectin has been proven to be effective on inflammation. I also closely follow Dr. Malone, who developed the platform for the mRNA. Unfortunately, the resulting loss of jobs by those who refused the jabs, leading to the loss of personal property, and in many cases ongoing health problems by those who took the shots, has been catastrophic. The " isms" of socialist/democratic ideas here in the USA have been exposed for what they truly are.
I also could not miss your complete lack or response and ignorance of a very informative podcast called PROMETHEAN ACTION. Could it be that you were offended regarding the remark about the "City of London" stirring the witch's cauldron pot to receive MILLIONS of money by those troublesome terrorist backing entities right into the big London banks and elsewhere. If you have any curiosity or courage, these two ladies, Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd, will provide you with eye opening informaton on how the global elites want America deeply weakened, if not destroyed. Here in the USA we the people have decided to go with the wisdom and resolve of our founding fathers; many of which had British blood. YOU can learn a hard lesson from them. Currently in your UK. you have suffered extreme harm from your never-ending infusion of migrants who NEVER had any intention of assimilating to the British type of society. Good luck with your government's ineptitude.
better than being a fascist

Thank you, Mitch. I will send this to relatives.

Thank you. This was just what my poem (and I) needed.
Boo!
Do not fear a shaking spear
Vainly jousting at your ear
With lies that communism rides
On Patriots’ strides.
To vote! To vote!
A scary “BOO!”
Is all needs said
To echo in an empty head.
Fill yours! Heed not the sway.
Let him joust.
Away. Away
Great article ! Thank you !
