Also, I don't think their agenda should be labelled as communist, that seems unfair, it's much worse than what the Soviets had. Last week, I went through the list of presidental candidates, only the socialist candidates stood out with a superb community service track record and actually addressed prevailing social conditions (the other parties were just making promises or they're claiming to be the "only" party that can save us), but the likelihood of America turning communist is actually slim to none. It's insufficient to speak up for only the working class, it's why communism is too outdated.
I've been thinking about communism the past couple of days, and have come to the conclusion that it was a red herring, which also means most of my life was wasted, fighting against phantoms. Oh, to be sure, there were and are communists about, but they are only fronts for something far old and far more insidious. They were, and are, only paper tigers thrust forward to distract us from the folks who are pulling their strings to make them dance and draw our attention.
Communism as practiced in the 20th century was really nothing more than a veneer for age-old feudalism, a mechanism to keep the serfs serfing and funnel their wealth to the top dawg(s). Using the Soviet Union as an example, the proletariat (a re-naming of "serfs" for all practical purposes) worked themselves to death in the fields and factories for nearly nothing, laboring under perpetual shortages of practically everything at the peon level, while the elites chased their secretaries around at their dachas, secure in the knowledge that all of the wealth was going to funnel it's way up to them. The same happened, and is still happening, in communist and socialist nations around the globe.
It's really all just age-old feudalism, with the barons in the manor houses keeping the serfs bound to the land and restricted in their defacto ability to move, while shoveling up the products of the serf's work and leaving them dregs to live on.
Now "communism" has gone out of fashion, bit it has been replaced with "progressiveism", a new name for the same old concept, rebranded and repackaged to make it more palatable for the masses. The WEF is currently spearheading the effort to re-feudalize the world, just as the Communist International spearheaded the effort in the 20th century.
BUT it's still the same old monster with a brand new face.
While we were hunting and killing communists back in the day, we should have been storming the baronial manor house that were pulling the strings of their puppets.
The baronial lords must "collectivize" everyone in order to properly deal with and fleece us. They cannot go after every little individual, they instead must categorize and clump us all together into "groups" of one stripe or another, and then deal with the groups as a whole rather than chase down all the individuals. Their grip is not fine enough to get down to the individual level. The communists and socialists spoke in terms of "classes", and the modern-day versions of them, the progressives, speak in terms of "race", "gender", "protected classes", and the like, but really it's the same old song and dance - categorize, collectivize, divide, and conquer.
The first step in fighting the modern-day Collectivists is not putting bullets in heads, it is the simplest act of rebellion - refusing to be a part of one of their divisive groups or "classes". That is where it starts, and if it started there and spread outward, they could be defeated with never a shot being fired. As 727Sky's signature says, "no one leads if no one follows".

I personally don't think it's government's job to deal with social issues. Politicians ought to deal with politics, because we have a society to deal with social issues. I tend to avoid politicians who can't stay in their lane, which is politics rather than social ills. The only reason politicians engage with social issues is to grab more power and exercise it over the peons. We can figure out for ourselves what we want to do and how we want to do it, thank you very much. We don't need the barons deciding for us how we should live, what we should do, and how we should think.
I hold that same indictment against communists, socialists, and the current rebranded progressives... who are all, after all and every one of them, merely doing the bidding of the baronial lords, rather than we the people. Anyone who thinks they have a mandate to tell you what to think or how to live is one of them. NO ONE has a right to do your thinking for you, which was the original premise of the United States and their rejection of feudalism.
The United States was born as a "republic" and emphatically NOT as a "democracy". The D-word has just crept in over time as a means to attempt to collectivize America and make it easier for the baronial overlords to rule over it all from their manor houses. It was never meant to be a nation of mob-rule without safeguards for those with a minority opinion. If we are to have mob-rule under the guise of "democracy", then we don't need any government at all - all we need is a mob.
Quote:Yeah, this could be the last official election, either Democrats or Trump will make a move to seize power by unlawful means. A German contact told me about the situation in Germany:
"If fascists are resurfacing they do so in the manner of defending democracy, which is happening in thuringia atm. 1/3rd of the voters atm are without any precursors robbed of their vote, as a democratic voted for party is robbed of their rights, and the voters are stigmatized at the same."
"As for the AFD, I am no fan of them, but the Green Party the SPD, the CDU and the leftists atm try to supress it by force and by breaking established laws."
It sounds like things are getting tough all over, and a worldwide fight is brewing between those who would seize power over everyone else by any means necessary, and those who fear no lords and are about to say, loudly, that they've had about a damned 'nuff of it.
It can't happen soon enough.
