They are feeding us old, recycled, communist bullshit while they feast on caviar and champagne at our expense. They ride around New York in bulletproof vehicles, accompanied by armed guards, while we walk the streets and ride on trains, unprotected from the psychopaths they refuse to keep in jail. They used us to climb onboard the political gravy train. Now, they are on their way to power and wealth. We are left with empty promises and a gloomy future.

The democratic socialists have dragged out the hundred-year-old Marxist playbook. The one used by Russia’s Joseph Stalin and China’s Moa Tse Tung, two of history’s worst mass killers.

The plan begins with using racism, wealth inequality, and social shaming to divide the people. Next, the less fortunate are promised economic, social and political equality. Then freeloaders, and thugs are organized into a boisterous and violent advance-guard, to assault and sometimes kill opponents. Finally, the plan calls for workers to unite and destroy anyone who opposes their demand to be given everything for free.

The strategy worked in Russia, again in China and in dozens of smaller countries around the world. In all cases, innocent citizens were murdered by social justice mobs (millions of them in China and Russia). Rulers and their families were imprisoned or slaughtered; replaced by one-party governments, ruled by socialist leaders, and staffed by loyal followers.

The first act of these one-party governments was to confiscate all privately owned assets, from land and resources to banking and manufacturing. The original managers of these assets were replaced by high-ranking Party members and their families. Their second act was to turn their Party’s thugs into a secret police force, tasked with silencing anyone who challenged the party’s authority.

As years passed, Party leaders grew rich and powerful, while their country became poorer. Workers and professionals lost what they had, including the opportunity to do better. Many struggled to put food on the table. Eventually, the people began whispering, “things need to change”. Party leaders sent the secret police to suppress the whispers. The move backfired. The people grew angrier. Party leaders, fearing a populace revolt, added the word democratic to their party name, and turned toward capitalism to save themselves. They allowed people to own land and businesses. Collective farmers were given small plots of land to grow crops that could be sold for profit at local markets. Urban workers were permitted to buy their state-owned apartments. There was an uptick in worker production, and their country’s crumbling economy began to rebound. This led to the re-privatization of other state-owned assets. High-ranking government officials kept banking, manufacturing, and resource production facilities for themselves. Other assets of lesser value were distributed to their underlings.

One could say that the socialists kept their promise to redistribute wealth. Unfortunately, they redistributed it amongst themselves, according to rank. Hundreds of high-ranking party members have become (in USD $) billionaires (539 in China, 147 in Russia, and 229 in India). Millions of there comrades have become millionaires.

Socialists proclaim. the people are the government, the government is the State, and the State owns everything. Therefore, everything belonging to the state belongs to the people.

In practice, The State is controlled by the country’s socialist party and the party is controlled by the party’s senior leadership. The leadership manages the State institutions that manage the State’s property. So, although property is formally owned by the people (through collective ownership); the people have control of nothing.

Listen carefully to our friends who have tried and rejected socialism, when they say “You can vote your way into socialism, but you’ll have to shoot your way out”.
