Unions & Communism

Ever since the American Communist Party linked up with trade unions to create the “workers’ paradise”, the Ideological link between them never waned. In 1917 American Communists got excited about the Marxist Revolution in Russia. The leaders of the American Communists included Ivy League intellectuals, authors, playwrights, eugenicists, and all Progressives, who had read the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx (Pub 1848), agreed with him and worked in groups of like-minded radicals to establish communism in America. Marx believed Socialism would replace Capitalism. In Russia, the strategy was to pit the ‘have-nots’ against the ‘haves’, and there were a lot more ‘have-nots’. They were angry about World War I and eager to blame the Czar. A “workers’ paradise” sounded good to them after the Bolshevik thugs explained that joining the communist party would improve their health . The end result was the flight of capital from Russia that never returned. Nobody would invest money in the USSR, because their government took ownership of all private property and enterprises. The American Communist Party was formed in the 1920s and began to support candidates for political office to both parties.

American Unions, representing skilled trades, had been formed and disbanded during economic recessions since the early 1800s. Karl Marx began writing for the New York Daily Tribune in 1852. In the 1880s the Knights of Labor formed for producers of goods and their managers. The AFL formed later in the 1880s but included only workers and excluded managers. By 1924, with the formation of the CIO, strikes became the weapon of choice. Their playbook included extortion, intimidation and violence, but they insisted they were fighting for their “rights”. The mafia fit right in; they took over unions and began recruiting politicians. What unions became was the American companies’ un-caged pet rattlesnakes. Being suspicious of power is healthy, but having a union is like blowing off your own knee cap. Companies cannot serve customers well unless they work as a team and the continuation of unions relies on distrust and class warfare in the ranks.

From the 1930s through the 1960s, the coalition of Communists, Union Leaders, Progressive Politicians, Marxist Intellectuals and Mafia Chieftains built the government infrastructure to institutionalize unions’ role in politics and legislation. In the 1960s Progressive Politicians turned on the Mafia, but retained their tactics. In the 1970s large American companies discovered they could move their production operations overseas and began to globalize; this trend continued throughout the 1980s through the 2000s.

The power we need to be suspicious of today is the cabal of Progressive government, banking, finance and global interlopers like the U.N. the E.U. the IMF, the Fed, the environmentalists and all those lined up to profit from the current scams this cabal promotes. Their goal is to move America closer to becoming a Socialist Republic, controlled by the Progressive Elites. The role of the unions in this plot is the same as the Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution. They are the same as the ‘brown shirts’ during the Nazi take-over of Germany. They are there to foment class-warfare, to separate workers and managers. This will cripple companies; they will lose focus on customers and begin their decline. The government will then step in and take over these companies. Next, the government will seize all private property to continue the redistribution of wealth. Like Russia, capital will flee the U.S., as hyperinflation destroys the dollar.

Unions can survive in land-locked monopolies like the Postal Service, public schools, utilities and government. They are monopolies, so delivering value and customer service are not critical. All of these monopolies are regulated to death, so efficiency isn’t worth much either. The increasing cost of these monopolies will accelerate as they work with their hand-picked Legislators to ensure unlimited government funding for their members.
