@jimstewartson Now do Hunter Biden and $3.5M from the mayor of Moscows widow. Or is it safe to throw the Bidens under the bus now?

"No one should be targeted simply for being themselves. It is cruel and unacceptable."

This is the abolition of social standards the communists seek for the sole purpose of subverting, perverting, and inverting our traditional socio-political order.

It's a demoralization ritual meant to destabilize America and weaken our resolve to preserve that which makes Americans a free people.

[Counter Revolt! @CounterRevoltX]

Anarcho tyranny is a hallmark of the Revolution. Mao spent 17 years priming, grooming the Chinese youth to embody the revolutionary fervor needed to carry out the Cultural Revolution in China.

They preyed on the emotionally susceptible youngsters, arming them with a cynical worldview and a revolutionary, militant spirit. Then Mao castrated the legal system by handicapping the police and replacing the court system with mob rule struggle session system, or non-system.

The pugnacious youth formed the Red Guard and ran roughshod over China, raiding homes, weaponizing neighbor against neighbor, demolishing heritage sites while beating, torturing and murdering at will.

There was no justice system to protect the people against revolutionary violence. The criminals were allowed to terrorize the people because the fear and intimidation served the communists ends and it's non-institutional implementation shielded the CCP from direct complicity in the terror.

If this sounds like modern Democrat platform, it's because it is. They want the destabiliers out on the streets destabilizing society and they want us afraid to stand up to them.

In now of all times, your greatest enemy is your own cowardice. They want that voice of fear in the back of your head drowning out your sense of duty and righteousness.

Don't let it. Stand up. Take the hit. Lose your job. Go to jail. These are badges of pride for the modern man.

The left will not let up. They will not stop subverting us. They will not stop demonizing us. They will not stop gaslighting us.

This is a fight to the death that they picked with us over a century ago. They've stated very clearly that they will fight us until one or the other is no more. We don't have to like it, but we don't get to set all the rules. Get ready to either get uncomfortable, or wave your free life goodbye.

This is how the left thinks. Their brains are just a self-serving smorgasbord relativism, nihilism, and cynicism.

“In terms of historical function there is a difference between revolutionary and reactionary violence. In terms of ethics, both forms of violence are inhuman and evil–but since when is history made in accordance with ethical standards? To start applying them at the point where the oppressed rebel against the oppressors, the have-nots against the haves is serving the actual violence by weakening the protest against it.”

We need a Bukele style crackdown on the criminal Communist culture cartels.

First, pass a clearly worded bill identifying the communist revolution as the criminal conspiracy that is, something like the Gravely UnAmerican Looming Agitators' Governance act, call it the G.U.L.A.G. Act for short.

Next, construct a massive prison complex in the the most remote regions of northern Alaska.

Then, let them live out their moneyless, classless utopian workers paradise mining valuable resources for capitalist endeavors in exchange for 3 hots and cot.

We get our resources, they get their communist society. It's the perfect symbiotic relationship for capitalists and communists alike.

I'll take my Nobel Peace Prize now, thank you.

The American Revolution was the only revolution in human history that was worth a damn.

[Counter Revolt! @CounterRevoltX]

This is 100% correct. The Soviets too viewed America as a bank vault to not only defeat the Germans in WWII, but to become a hostile post-war superpower. They faked friendship in order to extract material wealth from us through Lend-Lease, violating all regulatory efforts the Americans made to ensure that all aid went to the war effort and not to things like modernizing and industrializing the civic society or for post-war infrastructural rehabilitation.

As Yugoslavian dictator Marshal Tito put it, "Our collaboration with capitalism during the war which has recently ended, by no means signifies that we should prolong our alliance with it in the future. On the contrary, the capitalistic forces constitute our natural enemy despite the fact that they helped us to defeat their most dangerous representative. It may happen that we shall again need to make use of their aid but always with the sole aim of accelerating their final ruin."

Communist subversion and plundering for means of destroying America was further elaborated upon by Dmitry Z. Manuilsky, the Secretary of the Executive Committee of Comintern, at the Lenin School of Political Warfare:

"War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack... To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movements on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we will smash them with our clenched fists."

The tools at the US State Department and the diplomatic class at large fell for it hook, line, and sinker and were manipulated into providing the USSR with war material that would help make them a superpower after the war ended.

For example, example, General John R. Dean, stationed in Moscow as Chief of the US Military Mission denied a Soviet request for 25 large diesel marine engines because the engines already sent to Russia were clearly being stockpiled for Soviet use after the war.

But the Russians appealed to diplomatic stooge Harry Hopkins, who helmed the Lend-Lease program, and Hopkins foolishly overruled General Deane and, over the following two years, sent a total of 1,305 of those engines to the Soviets... After they requested 25.

Nonetheless, all of magnanimity from the US was met with scorn and derision by the Communists who viewed us weak and stupid... And for good reason.

As Soviet Lieutenant-Colonel and post-war defector Nikolai Zabotin put it, "Yesterday they were our allies, today they are our neighbors, tomorrow they are our enemies."

You cannot rationalize or compromise with a communist. They will play nice to use you when they need you, only to plot your destruction once they are through with you. It was true then, it remains true now.

Hillary Clinton wrote her thesis on Communist strategist Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Obama studied under the tutelage of Derrick Bell, whose Critical Race Theory doesn't draw enough scrutiny for its focus on Bureaucratic infiltration, which at this point seems to be the enduring legacy of the Obama administration.

Just like the Soviets of old, the modern American communists seek to extract every drop they can from the American people before driving us into ruin.

The First Cataclysmic Failure of Communist Economics and the Free Market Reforms that Both Saved and Damned the Bolshevik Revolution; Part 2: The New Economic Program

1921 saw the end to the bloody and brutal Russian civil war between the communist Red Army and the counter-revolutionary White Army that took the lives of 28 million Russians.

While the Bolshevik Red Army emerged victorious against the particularly undisciplined White Army, the war, in conjunction with egregiously incompetent Marxist economic policies, had decimated Russia and its economy as the nation teetered on the brink of failed statehood.

New revolts against the Bolsheviks were cropping up and quickly gaining steam. Beginning in August of 1920, the Tambov Revolt was a direct uprising against the excruciating grain requisition mandates that forced peasants to relinquish the majority of their grain stocks to the government.

With a force of 50,000 rebellious peasants by January of 1921, Lenin knew that the Tambov Revolt posed a serious threat to his grip on the reins of state power and that he’d have to come up with a solution soon.

The tipping point came just a couple months later with the Kronstadt rebellion, when sailors stationed at the Kronstadt Naval Base rebelled violently against the results of Lenin’s communist economic policy.

The Kronstadt sailors were not your average go-along-to-get-along Soviets. These were the same sailors that, under Trotsky’s command, had laid siege to the Winter Palace during the November coup of 1917. Trotsky himself praised these sailors as “the adornment and pride of the revolution.”

Less than 4 years later in March of 1921, those same sailors were in open rebellion against the revolutionary government. The insurrection raged for 18 days, culminating in Lenin’s announcement of a New Economic Program, or NEP

It was a humiliating concession for Lenin, who had gone all in on the half-baked theories of Marxist economics only to retreat a few short years later into the warm and welcoming bosom of communism’s one true enemy: Capitalism.

Through the NEP, Lenin reintroduced a number of capitalist elements to the Soviet economic model: He re-privatized the agricultural industry, allowing peasants to sell most of their grain privately and replaced the hated grain requisitions with a less onerous “in kind” tax.

He also permitted peasants to lease out portions of their land and to hire farmhands, allowing the peasants to become not just landlords, but exploiters–in the parlance communist purists.

The NEP also reinstated use of currency and reimplemented the wage system, putting an end to the regressive barter system. Small factories which had been nationalized were returned to private interests, though large scale industry remained in the hands of the state.

"Communism and trade?! It sounds strange. The two seem unconnected, incongruous, poles apart. But if we study it from the view of economics. we shall find that one is no more remote from the other than communism is from small-peasant, patriarchal farming." - Lenin

–Uh oh femcoms, Lenin supported the patriarchy!--

While he tried to gloss over the gravity of his concessions, this quote from Lenin is extremely revealing in that it exposed communist theory for the farce it truly is.

Lenin’s quote reveals that, for a theory rooted in Marx and Engels’ assertion that all human development has been the result of economic struggle and that their new utopian society would emerge from the new communist economic conditions, little thought or effort had actually been put into defining what exactly those new economic conditions would look like, how they would function, or how they would transform man to their material core.

By the way Marx, Engles, and their acolytes described it, it was as if the inevitable Revolution inevitably provided an inevitably endless supply of inevitably magic commie dust that they would sprinkle over the economy and viola! Heaven on earth… Inevitably.

Downplaying the logical conclusions of his economic retreat into capitalism, Lenin did his best to acknowledge the reality of it just enough to hold onto some semblance of credibility.

"We admit quite openly, and do not conceal the fact that concessions in the system of state capitalism mean paying tribute to capitalism. But we gain time, and gaining time means gaining everything."

Time for what? To avoid a devastating crash landing of economic conditions? Lenin had gone full throttle into communist economic policies only to plummet back down to earth at terminal velocity in only a few short years.

Buck the natural order if you wish too, but reality always reasserts itself in the end, just as it did when the implementation of capitalist practices in the NEP were immediately rewarded with a meteoric rise of prosperity in the burgeoning Soviet state.

The NEP opened many eyes to the lies of communism, including Emma Goldman, the famed anarcho-communist agitator whose rhetoric inspired the assassination of President McKinley and who was later deported from America to Russia during the anti-communist Palmer Raids of 1919-1920.

To Goldman, the Kronstadt rebellion was the "final wrench. I saw before me the Bolshevik State, formidable, crushing every constructive revolutionary effort, suppressing, debasing, and disintegrating everything."

Following the policies of the NEP, Goldman could not overstate the flourishing impact of capitalist infusion into the Soviet economy, ultimately motivating her to write her book, My Disillusionment in Russia.

The most unforgivable thing about communists has always been their unflinching willingness forcibly coerce every man, woman, and child on the planet into a purely hypothetical social experiment that explicitly demands the destruction of the human experience as we know it, all while neglecting the planet sized hole in their entire premise.

To say that communism is a global criminal conspiracy may be too charitable when you consider the very real possibility that it may indeed be Lucifer’s final solution to destroy God’s great creation.

[Counter Revolt! @CounterRevoltX]

The First Cataclysmic Failure of Communist Economics and the Free Market Reforms that Both Saved and Damned the Bolshevik Revolution; Part 1: Cataclysmic Failure.

Any individual with a tether to reality and even a precursory understanding of economic cause-and-effect could take a glancing skim over the basic tenets of communist economic theory and dismiss it as something akin to the whimsical idealism of a pre-adolescent child or the fleeting fancy of a narcotic, semi somnambulant utopian daydream.

And while this isn’t the post to delve deeply into Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ vain, narcissistic, and megalomaniacal efforts to dethrone God by proving that they were in fact capable of reformulating every corner of the natural order and of reshaping society by bending it to the will of their hypothetical abstractions (they couldn’t), it is important to note that it was in Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin et al.’s blind, religious devotion to the infallible Marx and Engels’ self-deifying dispositions, devoid of limiting principles, that such preposterous economic theories took governing root and predictably bore the foulest fruits of famine, bloodshed, and treachery.

By 1918, with Russian preoccupation finally diverted from the obligations of World War, Lenin was confident that the time had come to subordinate the economy under the experimental mandates of Marxist philosophy and took to work confiscating all private industry to be nationalized under the coordination of Bolshevik soviets, or labor unions..

Next he seized all livestock and farming equipment, which at the time consisted mostly of rudimentary hand tools–Communist iconography consists of a hammer and sickle, not a tractor and power drill for a reason.

Lenin’s next, and most drastic effort to bend the Russian economy to the Marxist philosophy was to abolish all wages and replace them with a non-monetary “in kind” payment. For all the “brilliance” of anti-capitalist Communist theory, it failed to recognize capital as an interpretation of universally transferable value and instead reinvented the primitive barter system in which one could only trade their grain for steel with an individual who actually possessed steel–Which, of course, had mostly been confiscated by Lenin.

Predictably–an oft recurring term in this entry–this primitive barter system of unconfiscated scraps necessitated the rationing of all domestic goods, namely food, not by merit or productivity, but by class, with a worker or soldier receiving a ration of 35 pounds of bread and a non-worker, or managerial class member receiving only 12 pounds of bread.

Next, after ordering the rigid distribution of goods, Lenin ordered the rigid distribution of people and their labor, through bureaucratic job mandates that viewed people not as individual souls with unique productive talents, but as widgets and cogs in the great Communist economic machine, each man nothing more than a material clump of cells, all equally capable of the same kinetic, robotic motions of the hammer swinging laborer and the sickle slashing peasant.

Peasants were granted stewardship of lands, but were required to work their lands tirelessly and without the employ of farmhands or the right to sell the fruits of their harvest. All crop yields were mandated property of the state authority and no ingenuity of efficiency not approved by said state authority was to be implemented as ingenuity and efficiency were the values of bourgeois capitalists.

Predictably–all apologies for the redundancy– the people did not respond well to this system and both industrial and agricultural output plummeted to an astonishingly dismal 13% of pre-revolutionary production.

With food and other resources necessary for survival in drastically thin supply, the peasants began holding back more than ⅓ of their crop yields from the government and Lenin’s Revolution found itself on the brink of collapse and in need of a common class enemy to blame.

Naturally, Lenin began with the obvious common enemy of the Revolution: the aristocracy, the Tsar and the Orthodox Church. But a Revolution is no small undertaking and its fire must burn bright in the bellies of men lest the entire effort dwindle and fade into oblivion and Russia, as an underdeveloped European backwater, offered only a small contingency of bourgeois citizenry to fuel the flames.

With the totality of the bourgeois class quickly consumed by the passions of the Revolutionary class, Lenin needed a new enemy and turned his hate and vitriol to the peasants, or kulaks, lashing out with rabid, dehumanizing invectives against the poor peasants who, to hear Lenin tell it, were living high on the hog while the urban labor class starved.

Utilizing the Red Army and the newly formed secret police, or Cheka, every method of terror was implemented against the peasantry, fomenting a peasant revolt and ultimately a bloody and brutal, 5 year long civil war.

Lenin’s Revolution hit its peak crisis in 1921-1922 when, on top of sluggish labor production, famine, largely due to the rejection of traditional and proven farming practices, swept the nation.

As Soviet historian Nikolaus Basseches wrote “No one who was ever in that famine area, no one who saw those starving and brutalized people, will ever forget the spectacle. Cannibalism was common. The despairing people crept about, emaciated, like brown mummies…When those hordes fell upon an unprepared village, they were apt to massacre every living person.”

Packs of feral, orphaned children roamed the country like starving wolves, wreaking havoc in cities and the countryside alike. In 1922, more than 30 million Russians were starving and on the brink of death while more than 5 million succumbed to the fate of starvation.

Lenin had to admit the disastrous failures of his program, that instead of the peace and prosperity he’d promised, he only delivered a non-existent economy, a famine that starved millions, and a civil war that saw an estimated 28 million Russian people slaughtered, not for love of country, but for hatred and zealotry.

Upon acknowledging such colossal failures, Lenin was forced to usher in a sweeping set of reforms.

Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of this post and how Lenin’s desperate capitalist reforms both saved his Revolution and damned its entire objective.

Trump's Conviction and Why it Spells Doom for the Institutional Marxists' Long Laid Plans for Revolution.

President Donald Trump has officially been convicted in what was, by all reasonable account, a show trial in the vein of a Stalinist purge of political rivals.

The tweet below from @EndWokeness demonstrates the manner in which corrupt District Attorney Alvin Bragg, corrupt Judge Juan Merchan, and the corrupt Biden regime conspired to subvert not only the justice system, but the entire American political order.

This is the way of Communist regimes. But put down those black pills, ladies and gentlemen. There is good news.

One of the understood tenets of Communist theory has always been the necessity of conditioning the social circumstances for revolution before actually launching the Revolution. Conditioning society for the Revolution requires having a hand on the pulse of the public.

Our Communists do not. They are the wealthy elite who come from the butter-soft world of academia and live in social bubbles that are utterly disconnected from the average person.

This was always the flaw of the cultural Marxists and it has become increasingly evident through the dialectical progression from Gramsci's theory of hegemony to Marcuse and the New Left's theory of institutional revolution to Derrick Bell and the critical race theorists' theory of the revolution of the elite.

Revolutions, while often carried out by a small minority of the people, sustain their legitimacy through the optics of being a ground-up movement, representative of the people, in which the powerless topple the powerful.

But the cultural Marxists, through their attainment of cultural hegemony, through their capture of the institutions, and through their elitist representative mouthpieces, have inverted the Revolution into a top-down assault of the powerful against the powerless.

The optics, in fact, delegitimize their Revolution and hollow out their authority as more and more people begin to resent the increasingly totalitarian impositions from above.

We saw that with the election of Trump in 2016. The Revolution, being surreptitiously primed in the academies for more than 50 years, was finally sniffed out and, for the first time, faced real opposition that threatened to undo more than 50 years of revolutionary progress and social conditioning.

The revolutionaries, operating unencumbered for decades, had grown arrogant and presumptuous: stay the course and, just as Marx said, the Communist Revolution will be inevitable. They weren't prepared or equipped to face opposition.

They panicked. They expedited their Revolution, heightening their rhetoric to histrionic levels to instill fear and hatred of counterrevolutionaries, institutionalizing their implementation of Marcuse's "repressive tolerance" to silence and censor counterrevolutionary voices, and accelerating their social agenda of liberation theology to maximize support from their intersectional base of misfits and malcontents.

But their rhetoric presented them as unhinged, their censorship exposed them as unAmerican, and their limitless liberation of increasingly outrageous "oppressed minorities" revealed their disdain for everyday American people, traditions, and values.

This is an unsustainable model for Revolution and as the cultural inertia of the Revolution diminishes, so too does the cultural pendulum, well before hitting the catch of totalizing revolutionary orthodoxy that would prevent its backswing.

Make no mistake, the pendulum is about to swing the other way and we must let it, hard and fast. We must be ruthless in our reassertion of cultural and political dominance. Charity is both an American and Christian virtue, but so is Justice and we must remember now more than ever that Marxist revolution has always been an evil, nihilistic, and Godless criminal conspiracy of death and destruction.

We must seize their power and, through a legal and just tribunal, take from them the same rights, freedoms, and way of life they've conspired to take from us. Treason is on trial and we must spare no charge nor sentence.

How American Blunder Ushered in the Chinese Communist Revolution; Pt. 2: The Chinese Civil War

I wrote yesterday about the first major blunder in postwar American diplomacy as President Roosevelt, a speculated pinko himself, ceded the formerly Japanese controlled region of Manchuria to the Soviets in exchange for what amounted to little to no help fighting the Japanese in the Pacific theater.

This set the stage for Mao Zedong and his Long March of the Red Army who, battled and beleaguered, made an unprecedented 5,000 mile strategic retreat from northwestern Chinas to the now Soviet occupied northeastern Chinese Manchuria region to regroup, resupply, and recruit.

But this is where subversive pinkos in the state department lined up to give Mao and his Red Army every advantage they could over Chiang Kai-shek and his Chinese nationalists who were working hard to inaugurate a Western style constitutional republic in the region.

In what was a “surprise” move, Stalin had actually agreed to withdraw the Soviet army from the Manchurian region and officially recognize the new Chinese nationalist government so long as Chiang Kai-shek and the nationalists acknowledged the Soviet’s property rights in Manchuria.

–Communists hedging for property rights. Irony abides.--

The Chinese nationalists were understandably skeptical of the arrangement. Afterall, this is the same Soviet command that brokered then broke 51 of the 53 diplomatic agreements and treaties with America.

Despite that disreputable track record, FDR still had the following to say when warned about Stalin:

“I don’t dispute your facts; they are accurate. I don't dispute the logic of your reasoning. I just have a hunch that Stalin is not that kind of man. [Secretary of State] Harry Hopkins says he’s not, and that he doesn’t want anything but security for his country. And I think that if I give him everything that I can, and ask nothing from him in return... He won’t try to annex anything and will work with me for world peace and democracy.”

And thus, with the intense pressure from the US State Department, Chiang Kai Shek agreed to Stalin’s terms, signing the agreement on August 14, 1945.

It was a mistake made at the behest of the American foreign policy arm and Chiang Kai-shek knew it right away. Immediately after the treaty was signed the Soviets began strip mining the region of its industry and shipping it back to Russia using the Chinese’s own Chinese Eastern Railway. They took everything.

And in predictable Communist/Soviet fashion, they refused to make good on pulling their troops out of Manchuria, incessantly stalling for one reason or another until Mao and his Red Army arrived to secure the region…

Then Stalin turned over all weapons and munitions confiscated from the Japanese to Mao’s Red Army so that Mao could turn around and attack the Chinese nationalists. The classic Communist doublecross.

Remember the words of Lenin: “There are no morals in politics, only experience.”

–You’d think people would learn, but leadership continually proves itself to be incredibly stupid.–

Keep in mind all of this is happening while China is struggling to form a constitutional government and wouldn’t be happening at all had American diplomacy not opened the door for it.

And this is where things get particularly frustrating. Despite knowing about the Soviet atrocities before World War II and the depths of Communist depravity and subversion, the American State Department seemed to be in something of a postwar Honeymoon phase with Stalin, who had just spent years pillaging and plundering their good will via the Lend-Lease program.

They declared that Reds were “potentially peaceful” and insisted that they had no territorial ambitions. Yes, you read that right. And because of their infatuation with Stalin and the Soviets, they actually denounced Chiang Kai-shek for resisting Mao and his revolutionary army and accused him of creating new world tensions.

In response, the US sent General George C. Marshall to China to put an end to the civil war, but what followed was an also predictable catastrophe as the American policy was to try to incorporate Mao’s revolutionary movement into the framework of the Chinese nationalists’ new constitutional order.

Naturally Mao engaged with obstinate petulance, demanding that Communists be represented in all of China while refusing to let the Nationalists to be represented in Communist regions, agreeing to a cease-fire only toss it out the window and attack whenever it was advantageous for him to do so, and agreeing to participate in setting up a state council representing all parties only to refuse attendance at the last minute.

Chiang Kai-shek wisely concluded that Mao and his bloody band of revolutionary cretins were never going to come into the fold peacefully and continued to fight back, looking to reconquer territory seized by the Communists.

Despite the fact Chiang Kai-shek was striking back against a Communist faction that drew first blood, the pinkos of the state department viewed this as an “inexcusable aggression.”

During the summer of 1946, the Communists repeatedly violated the truce, striking deep into the Manchurian region, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to strike back.

Did the State Department tell their “peaceful” Communists to stop attacking? No, they demanded Chiang Kai-shek declare an unconditional cease fire, essentially giving the Communists a green light to attack while threatening the Nationalists if they defended themselves or responded in kind.

An embargo was placed on all aid to the Chinese nationalists and General Marshall proudly declared “As Chief of Staff I armed 39 anti-Communist divisions in China, now with the stroke of a pen, I disarm them.”

Even after the cease-fire was called by Chiang Kai-shek, the embargo was not lifted, giving ample time for Mao and Communists to regroup and resupply from the Soviets for all out war with the Chinese nationalists.

General Marshall impotently implored Mao to return to negotiations and once it was clear that no reasonable negotiation was to be had (which should have been clear long before), Marshall was recalled and immediately promoted to Secretary of State. Go figure.

With the recalling of General Marshall, many people in Washington were perplexed and angry over the handling of China and sent in General Albert C. Wedemeyer to assess what went wrong.

General Wedemeyer was extremely critical of US policy in China under General Marshall and assessed that not only had the interests of Chinese sovereignty been violated, the US interests of the US and the West at large seemed to have been superseded by Communist interests.

He put together a report advising a massive aid effort to help the Chinese nationalists, but in absolute bureaucratic ineptitude, the report landed in the hands of the very people the report criticized and remained buried for over two years as Mao and the Communists, backed by their Soviet allies, continued to rain hell on the dying embers of constitutionalist Chinese dream.

By the time the Wedemeyer Report saw the light of day, it was too late. The Chinese Communist Party had raised its red flag over the mainland.
