This
month, Gawker.com conducted an interview with John Bachtell, national chairman
of the Communist Party USA. Bachtell, 59, was essentially a red diaper baby;
his parents were leftists who were active in various radical causes during the
1950s and 1960s, although the article portrays them as civil rights crusaders.
These
days, according to the article, Bachtell mainly organizes for progressive
Democrats, a statement that’s more pregnant of meaning than most I have heard.
Now,
I’m not even going to pretend to be objective here; remember, I’m the guy who
said that the federal government, the states, organized militias – someone –
should have taken it upon themselves to cut down communist marchers with tommy
guns en masse back in the 1920s, that communism should have been banned
outright, and that comprehensive counterintelligence programs should have been
implemented to quash the advancement of any person or organization even
remotely evidencing communist or socialist leanings.
Had
these things occurred, America would not at this very moment be teetering on
the brink of totalitarian collectivism with a cabal of subversive radicals at
the helm. I acknowledge that such action would have been an abrogation of
certain parties’ civil rights, but given the lack of regard that the ascendant
left has shown for individual rights and the Constitution, we have no
reasonable expectation that these things will even exist once the left has
cemented its power. Hence my justification.
That
said, I find it quite surreal when I hear communists – and even some liberals
–intellectualizing around the supposed virtues of Marxism and regurgitating
pitifully threadbare anti-capitalist condemnation. It is only owing to
Marxists’ flair for propaganda that they still manage to get away with
espousing egalitarian values despite having murdered nearly a half-billion
people during the last century.
To a
degree, this “marketing of Marxism” is that of which the Gawker interview
mainly consisted. One really ought to read the interview in its entirety to glean a sufficient understanding of the sham
and duplicity in which radical leftists routinely engage.
Bachtell
would have us believe that the CPUSA is far-removed from Cold War-era
communism. It
has been documented that the Weather
Underground (the violent communist group founded by Obama crony Bill Ayers) was
working toward a communist revolution in America featuring re-education centers
and a purge (mass execution) of some 25 million “diehard capitalists.”
Well,
Ayers and many of those who thought that way at the time are still around; some
have great political influence, and a few even work in the White House. I’m
afraid that’s not quite “far-removed” enough for me.
Recently,
investigative journalists Alan Jones and Mary Fanning published an article based upon their investigation into the origins narrative,
identity and eligibility questions that have swirled around Barack Hussein
Obama since before he took office. (Regular readers will be aware that WND has
long been at the vanguard of such efforts.)
While
their investigation did corroborate some things we know to be true regarding
Obama’s identity fraud and lifelong subversive associations, it provided much
more information pertaining to the extent of communist infiltration in America
50 years ago. The fact that Obama’s parents and extended family had ties to
prominent individuals involved in this pursuit became almost incidental.
One
chilling detail revealed by Jones and Fanning involved a Soviet double agent
who secretly transported Soviet spies and Nazis into the United States during
the late 1940s and 1950s; under the pretext of humanitarianism, these
operatives were designated as “refugees.”
Of
course, this is eerily similar to the comprehensive program of “refugee
resettlement” initiated by Obama and involving tens of thousands of unvetted
individuals from destabilized Muslim nations like Syria and Somalia being
spirited into the U.S.
Marxists
are fond of arguing that capitalism and democratic republics don’t work. In
America, dedicated leftists have put forth a great deal of effort in sabotaging
the mechanisms thereof, then citing the results of their sabotage as validating
their criticism. It’s akin to claiming a particular brand of automobile is
inferior, then surreptitiously adding water to its gas tank in order to ensure
its poor performance, thus “proving” your point.
Similarly,
every leader of every failed or failing communist state has pointed to the
policies of other nations (usually freer, capitalist ones) to deflect the blame
for their own abysmal management. Though in some instances these nations were
completely closed to outside influences for many years, leftist despots
invariably attempted to convince their citizens that culpability for their
destitution lay in malevolent external forces.
Denial
on a grand scale, abdication of personal responsibility and victimhood – the
same concepts leftist leaders instill into individuals within society – they
also practice geopolitically.
The
art (or science; take your pick) of mass manipulation has never been more
sophisticated than at this moment. Part of this is owing to technology. Another
aspect is refinement over time. This is the chief reason that at present, most
Americans are incapable of conceptualizing (let alone anticipating) far-reaching
disasters such as the recent debt crisis in Greece, with its government
confiscation of private bank deposits and rioting, occurring here.
Sure,
times are tough, but we’ve weathered those before. Obama is still a pretty cool
guy, even after seven years of catastrophic serial “miscalculations.” Why, no
one’s even discussing the fact that our government arriving at a 5 percent
unemployment rate – with 95 million Americans missing from a labor force of 160
million – has got to involve some really weird math.
With
that conditioning at work, factor in a little denial and mental laziness and
it’s a cinch most Americans couldn’t even begin to process the scenario Bill
Ayers and the Weather Underground had in store for us – even if they saw it
coming, armored, down Main Street.
