“Communists today are infiltrating every field of American activity…civil rights, youth & veterans' groups, press, radio, television, motion picture, political organizations, schools, & colleges…working more intensely than ever before.”

The three female liberal justices dissented.
The people who claim to champion women’s rights just voted AGAINST women’s and girl’s protections in sports
Democrats hate women. Never forget.
*new ideas: abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish prisons, abolish police, abolish interracial relationships, abolish Israel. Good to see Schiff being so open minded.
Everyone who's lived through a communist revolution recognizes *exactly* what this is. This isn't a partisan Democrat thing. This kind of struggle session is the end phase of the "long march through the institutions". Students of history know what comes next...
Military members swear to defend the Constitution. Congress swears the same oath. One should not spend its time undoing what the other is willing to die defending.
Former hostage Rom Braslavski reacted to the news that the IDF eliminated one of his captors, Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Talal Abd al-Aal.
Rom: "This is the man who, while I was bound with ropes from head to toe and on the verge of death, forced me to open my mouth so he could spit into it. This is the man who, by his own hands and on his own orders, tortured me and nearly killed me several times. Enjoy hell, you piece of garbage."
Pendant 300 000 ans, rien n'a marché. L'humanité était piégée. Stagnation, famines, mortalité de masse.
Puis vers 1800 une seule chose a brisé le piège. Propriété privée, échange libre, signaux de prix, marchés.
Pas la planification. Pas la contrainte. La liberté économique.
Le communisme exige un homme nouveau. Il faut le forcer, le rééduquer, le briser. Les 100 millions de morts sont le coût de ce forçage.
Le capitalisme ne demande rien de tout ça. Il fonctionne avec l'humain tel qu'il est. L'intérêt, l'échange, la confiance, le savoir dispersé que personne ne peut centraliser.
The Marxist’s favorite trick:
Convincing citizens that someone else’s money is actually the government’s
Such that when a wealthy person doesn’t want to give his wealth to the government, he’s actually stealing from “the people”
The liberals never ask, "Why are these nations unable to provide basic, heavily-subsidized goods and services? Why has $2.6 trillion in foreign aid failed to improve conditions in most of Africa?" They don't want to grapple with the answer, so they come up with "post-colonialism" and arguments like "they couldn't fill the ambulance with gas, therefore Elon is a mass murderer." The actual truth would be unbearable.
Communism has always appealed because it offers a morally simple answer to an impossibly complex human problem.
>Life is unfair.
>Therefore someone must be guilty.
>If we punish the guilty, justice will follow.
It replaces responsibility with resentment.
Most importantly, it tells ordinary people they can become virtuous without becoming better.
That is why it returns every generation. Not because it works, but because it flatters.
History’s warning is not that these ideas begin with prison camps. They begin with moral certainty and the belief that society can be perfected if only the “right” people are given enough power to identify the guilty and reorganize everyone else’s lives.
Today, that temptation is more dangerous than ever.
Never before have governments and institutions possessed so much data, so many surveillance tools, so much influence over information, and such extraordinary capacity to shape public life at scale. Every generation inherits more powerful instruments than the last. Whether those instruments preserve liberty or erode it depends on the ideas guiding the hands that wield them.
The lesson of the last century is not merely that communism failed. It is that no society is immune from believing that concentrating power in pursuit of moral perfection will finally succeed.
History has already rendered its verdict; 100 million+ dead.
Our responsibility is to remember it before we convince ourselves that this time will be different.
