If you
look at the Communist takeover of Russia in 1917, you will see many of the same
tactics being used in the US today. It started with protestors organizing to
march through the streets. The Czar’s army was called out to break up these
marches and the marchers got sympathy. It began as the Social Democrat Labor
Party in 1898.
The
industrial revolution put people to work, but failed to check the attitudes of
the people hired into these factories and allowed troublemakers to remain in
the workforce. The owners, investors and managers of these factories focused on
the technical and financial aspects of their businesses, not employee
relations. The work was hard and sometimes dangerous. It was easy to demonize
the owners.
During and
after the Russian revolution in 1917, free speech and private property rights
ended in Russia. Over the decades, we in the US have seen our federal
government grow out of control and have seen challenges to our property rights
and free speech. We have also seen a decline in our economic freedom and
prosperity.
There are
some differences between the Communist takeover of Russia and the Communist
takeover of the US.. The Communists involved in attempting to take over the US
are Democrats. This is a political party that has functioned in the US as the
anti-aristocratic party since 1792 as the Jeffersonian Republicans. It was given the name Democrat in 1830.
Hamilton
and Jefferson clashed over Hamilton’s push to have the US government establish
a national bank, because it was not in the “enumerated powers”. Hamilton got
his bank to pay off the Revolutionary War debt, but Congress closed it after
the debt was paid. Hamilton was a banker and Jefferson was a farmer.
Both
parties were infiltrated by “Progressives”, who violated the US Constitution to
create a bigger federal government.
The
creation of the Federal Reserve and the US Income Tax in 1913 heralded the
beginning of the “managed economy” and the end of the “free market economy”. It
stripped wealthy families of their inheritance and started taxing wages. The US
dollar of 1913 is now worth 3 cents, due to money printing to pay for
government overspending.
The
creation of Social Security by Franklin Roosevelt in 1935 heralded the
beginning of “socialism” that was culminated in 1964 with Medicare and Welfare
by Lyndon Johnson. The US government debt is now $20 trillion and is
unsustainable.
Democrats
are adamant and will fight to keep socialism. Republicans insist that the US
needs to restore the “free market” private sector economy to reduce dependency
on welfare and restore economic freedom, so that US citizens can again become
self-supporting. Democrats argue that the
