Marxist Scam 11-2-24

Marxism begins with a call for Equity of outcomes for the “Oppressed”.  

In 1837, Chales Dickens published “Oliver Twist:” recalling his experience growing up in poverty as a young boy working in a factory.

Rather than writing about how he overcame his poverty, Dickens focused on his poverty. The plight of poor families working in factories during the Industrial Revolution was well known.

 In 1841 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “Self-Reliance” to weigh in on Individual Responsibility. 

In 1848, Karl Marx published his “Communist Manifesto”.  Marx suggested a “Political Solution” for the impoverished. Democracies were being formed and the Impoverished outnumbered the middle and upper class. Democracy gave the impoverished a voice. Monarchies had Parliaments to elect. The obsession with ending poverty continued. In the 1880s, Labor Unions appeared to demand higher pay and better working conditions.

Students of Marxism were defining what a Marxist Government do, how it would function and how it could be implemented. Eliminating “Social Inequality” became a societal goal. This goal was adopted by the Academics in Universities. Lenin became obsessed with Marxism and perfected a plan to implement it. His target was Russia. The majority of the Russian populations was impoverished and unhappy with their Monarchy.

In 2005, unarmed Russian peasants protested and were slaughtered by Russian Soldiers. The Bloody Sunday massacre sparked the Russian Revolution of 1905, during which angry workers responded with a series of crippling strikes throughout the country. Farm laborers and soldiers joined the cause, leading to the creation of worker-dominated councils called “soviets.”

Russia entered World War I in 1914 and remained until 1917, when they signed a “cease fire agreement. The cost of World War I was too high for the Russian serfs to ignore.

In 1917, Vladimir Lenin began the Communist Revolution in Russia. There is evidence that German Banks funded the Communist Revolution in Russia.

The USSR was established in 1922 by Lenin and Josef Stalin became General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1952 and Chairman of the Council of Ministers from 1941 until his death. Stalin purged the Communist Party and military leadership, executing at least 750,000 people and sending over a million more to forced labor camps in the Gulag. Purges of dissidents continued in the USSR through the 1930s.  Josef Stalin died in 1953. 

In 1945, the USSR annexed Eastern Europe including Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, Romania, Uzbekistan,

WW2 brought into the USSR the following additional territories:

• The entire Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
• Western Belorussia (taken from Poland).
• Western Ukraine (taken from Poland and Romania)
• The western part of Moldavia (taken from Romania)

The USSR spend their money on their Military and maintaining their control over the Satellite Countries.

Russians continued to be dissatisfied with their Communist Government.

By 1989, the USSR was broke.

The Russian Republic was established in 1991. The Communist Party was abolished.

Communism is simply the worst Economic System ever conceived and imposed on a population.  It ignores the human need for incentives to work. It ignores citizen property ownership and generational wealth for the vast majority of citizens. Government oppression of the masses has always produced citizen rebellion or foreign invasion to accompany financial collapse. It happened with the Roman Empire and the USSR.

The First President of the Russian Republic was Boris Yeltsin from 1991 to until his death in 1999.

Vladimer Putin became President in 1999 and under current Russian Law will remain the President of the Russian Government until 2036. Putin restored the Russian economy, but He has lately returned to expansion. He annexed Georgia and Crimea and invaded Ukraine in 2022.
