| Biden and the Dems Are Skipping Straight to the Final Stage of Socialism |
| 2022-09-04 |
| [PJ] In Marxist theory, the final stage of socialism is true communism, when everyone shares of his or her resources equally, the state withers away, and true justice finally dawns upon the earth. We never have seen that stage and never will, because Marxism is rancid pseudo-religious hogwash that runs directly contrary to human nature. The real final stage of socialism is what we saw in the last ten years of the Soviet Union: an entrenched, all-encompassing, corrupt and inefficient state bureaucracy nominally presided over by a succession of senescent, barely-there incompetents. With his disgraceful descent into open authoritarianism Thursday evening, Old Joe Biden and the Democrats signaled their intention to skip right to that final stage: they’ve already got the doddering figurehead and the ravenous bureaucracy firmly in place. During the first stages of socialism in Russia right after the Bolshevik revolution, the new workers’ paradise appeared from the outside, where the gulags weren’t so easy to see, to be youthful, dynamic, and promising. The American journalist Lincoln Steffens visited Soviet Russia in 1919 and was enthusiastic, declaring: "I have seen the future, and it works." Other American intellectuals visited the Soviet Union and were likewise enthused; the New York Times’ Walter Duranty was so enamored of the place that he willfully covered up evidence of Stalin’s Ukrainian famine so that Times readers wouldn’t get a negative view of the new Russia. This sort of thing went on for years. Two decades later, with the U.S. on the brink of entering World War II, three young folk singers named Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and Josh White, who called themselves the Almanac Singers, recorded Songs for John Doe, an album of peace songs. This was the time of the Nazi-Soviet pact, and as Seeger, Guthrie, and White were all hardcore Communists, they didn’t want the U.S. joining any war against Stalin’s ally Hitler. Hitler soon betrayed Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union, and suddenly these pacifists were passionate for the war and able to pose as patriots. For decades, Seeger, Guthrie, and multitudes of others worked tirelessly to make the Soviet Union and Marxism chic among American Leftists. It worked. The Soviet Union itself, meanwhile, was governed first by Lenin and then by Stalin. Both were unscrupulous, inhuman, murderous thugs, and both remained in power only by ruthless reigns of terror and cults of personality that made them into gods more efficiently and comprehensively than any Roman emperor was ever deified. Even today, in post-Soviet Russia, Lenin is respected, and Stalin is revered. Lenin’s Tomb is still situated prominently in the Kremlin and gets a million visitors a year. Not far from it are the much more modest graves of most of the other Soviet leaders; Stalin’s is the only one that Russian visitors regularly decorate with flowers. |

| #4 The communists freaking hate Biden and the Dems. Biden and the Dems freaking hate communists. And each thinks to use the other to get/stay in power. As we saw when Hitler and Stalin united to take Poland, and we see now in Shiite Iran, where the current head of Sunni Al Qaeda was sheltered along with half of the leadership and their families, hatred doesn’t matter if they can be useful to each other against a more hated target — in the case of the Democrats and the Communists/Socialists, that means against the Republicans. |

| #3 Ugh, the stupid, it hurts. The communists freaking hate Biden and the Dems. Hate hate hate them. Biden and the Dems freaking hate communists. Communism is a dead letter. Anyone who says otherwise is just plain dumb. If you don't believe it, go ask some communists. You might get an education. |

| #2 "A progressive racist is a liberal democrat who, in spite of total and obvious failure, keeps implementing the same policies over and over. At some point, you've got to realize that it can't be a mistake. The policies that hurt young black males are being implemented for that very reason- to hurt young black males." Author Unknown but dead right |

| #1 Given the many states, enacted Voter Rights Laws to ensure an honestly conducted election. The LSD's know they will lose their A$$es. So, they understand their only hope of avoiding Criminal Indictments for Treason, Sedition, voter civil rights violations etc. It is to either create a national emergency to support a dictatorial style system. Where they, as ruling elites, cannot be touched. OR MAYBE the LSD's will write a speech where Mindless Joe reads it and grants all illegals full citizenship with full voting rights. Along with the warning, the LSD's need to stay in power if they are to keep their illegally granted citizenship and monthly Federal handout $$$$$. |
