The playbook for
Communist revolutions has been to pit the poor minimum wagers against the rich
capitalists. This has worked if the poor outnumbered the rich and could vote in
elections. A Communist take-over usually results in the confiscation of private
property and redistribution to cronies and the establishment of a Communist
one-party government with no private property rights and no tolerance for other
opinions. Investment capital flees countries that adopt Communism, because they
have no property rights and are subject to having their businesses seized by
the government. The poor usually enjoy seeing this happen until they lose their
jobs and become “really poor”. These revolutions begin to fail when the
Communist Liberator becomes a Communist Dictator, who has complainers shot and
jailed.
The US is experiencing
the protest phase of its Communist Revolution that began in 2008 with the
election of Barak Obama. This is a “free stuff” revolution. Armed with the
global warming hoax and more socialism, the Democrat Party is united in their
aim to destroy the US economy with socialist scams.
Preparation for this
revolution began with the unconstitutional creation of Yellowstone National
Park in 1872 without an Amendment being ratified by the States to expand
federal “enumerated powers”. It was
advanced in 1913 with the unconstitutional abandonment of the “free market
economy” and the creation of the Federal Reserve, the US Income Tax and Inheritance
Tax. It was advanced again in 1935 with
the Roosevelt New Deal laws and the establishment of Social Security. It was
advanced again in 1964 with the Johnson War on Poverty, Medicare, Medicaid and
Civil Rights Act. It was advanced by Obama with Obamacare in 2009. US voters
rejected Obama’s policies and elected Donald Trump in 2016.
The Communist
Manifesto was published by Karl Marx in 1848, suggesting that poor populations
could advance by voting to confiscate private property. World War I provided
the political destabilization necessary for revolution and the Russian
Communist Revolution began in 1917 and ended with the establishment of the USSR
in 1921. Chinese Communists won their revolution in 1948. The USSR took over
Eastern Europe after 1945. Some of these countries were absorbed by the USSR
and others became “satellite countries”.
The promise is that
the country will “belong” to the people, but it really belongs to the
government leaders and bureaucrats and the people get poorer, because companies
won’t invest there anymore and there are no jobs.
Communist Governments
have failed when the same voting poor realize they are poorer under their
Communist Government. They employ the
oppressive tactics used by the Dictatorships they replaced. The get no foreign
investment, because companies don’t want their assets seized. Communist
governments typically “nationalize” their industries and hyperinflate their
currency. With no jobs, the poor get poorer and the cycle starts all over
again. Even many countries that were
once Communist, saw the light and replaced their Communist governments with
elected representatives don’t get much foreign investment.
To prevent
counter-revolutions, Communist governments, like all dictatorships, suppress
the populace with their military and police states. Criticism is not allowed.
All countries have a
Communist Party or a Socialist Party, but these are usually sub-groups of Labor
Parties or Liberal Parties. They are elected in many countries and currently
dominate the EU and many African countries. The US remains the safe haven for
property rights so far. Companies don’t want their assets seized and will avoid
unstable countries. Companies will do business with unstable countries, if they
need raw materials from these countries.
There are 5 countries
with “one-party Communist governments in 2019.
These are China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba.
There are 14 countries
where the Communist Party is in the “ruling coalition”. These are Bangladesh,
Belarus, Czech Republic, Greece, Nepal, Palestine, Portugal, Serbia, Spain,
South Africa, Syria, Uruguay and Venezuela.
There are 16 countries
where Communist Parties ruled, but are no longer a ruling party. These are
Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Congo, Croatia, Czechoslovakia,
Ethiopia, East Germany, Grenada, Hungary, Mongolia, Mozambique, Poland,
Romania, Somalia, Soviet Union, Turkmenistan, South Yemen and Yugoslavia,
The countries that
were seized by the USSR after 1945 get a pass and some guarantee property
rights and are launching free market capitalist economies like Poland, Hungary,
East Germany, Others are attempting to attract capital like Bulgaria, Croatia,
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
