Communism was the primary evil during the Twentieth Century…well, except during that World War against Fascism of which communism was happy to exploit in certain ways to get everybody’s eyes off of their communist plan. We sent American military forces to two other wars to fight communism, and a Cold War against the Soviet Union that ended in the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dismantling of the Iron Curtain. Communism was the enemy. We knew who the enemy was. And we knew it was dangerous.
Socialism/Communism has failed every time it has been tried.
The Democratic Party had taken a radical turn. Well, that’s not accurate. They’ve always been a bunch of socialists, but now they don’t hide it, and now their narrative out in the open is what we fought against during the last century – and more.
Nobody believed me until the rise of Zohran Mamdani, the self-described Democratic Socialist. President Trump has called him a communist. Some pundits ask that we are also reminded that Mamdani is an anti-Semitic Muslim. Trevor Loudon would remind us that the rise of Zahran Mamdani in New York City is the reality of the Red/Green Axis in America.
The reality is, Mamdani is not just a communist. Minneapolis Democratic Socialist Omar Feteh who’s on the ballot for Minneapolis Mayor is not just a communist. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and every other radical leftist Democrat who’s becoming the voices of the Democratic Party are not just communists.
They are something worse.
They are products of Cultural Marxism. They are products of the Democratic Party’s socialist leanings and anti-American narrative and policies. They are products of the leftism being taught in our schools, preached in Hollywood, and worshipped by the leftwing media. And like a good communist, these anti-American politicians seek to dismantle the U.S. Constitution, strip the country of any semblance of law and order, and put into place Soviet-style central planning. On the surface these communists walk like communists, talk like communists, and embrace communist policies so it is easy to label them as such.
But what they push is something worse than mere communism. Yes, they are communists, but the real danger is that they are purveyors of WOKEism. Their economic ideas are communism on steroids, mixed with stripping law enforcement of any authority, indoctrinating our children with identity-based madness, sexual deviancy that includes chopping up the genitals of children and exposing them to sick drag shows, and promising government giveaways that would even make Joseph Stalin blush.
These radicals focus on “gender-affirming care,” including surgeries for minors, creating special offices for alphabet soup sexual deviancy advocacy, crushing Israel and Christianity while coddling Islam whose leaders and American counterparts not only call for an end to Israel but call for an end to America through a global intifada, plans to make sex-change operations a government-funded and granted right, and make the Orwellian plans of true communists look like amateuristic child’s play.
Communism seeks to destroy America’s liberty and replace it with a system in which the government controls the means of production. Today’s radical Democratic Party WOKEism seeks to replace everything with the religion of their madness – EVERYTHING. WOKEism is radical not only politically and culturally, but more so than anything ever dreamed up in the Kremlin.
