But No! It is stronger here, more than eve. After all the files were open on the spies and horrors brought by the Soviet Union after its collapse, wouldn't people learn?
Now it has more, new "progressive" adherents than ever. And ever one of them thinks they will be part of the enlightened leadership and not just a cog in the proletariate masses. m/r
The Nightmare Reality of the Communist Dream
Another communist fantasizes that ‘this time’ they’ll get it right.
May 5, 2017 Mark Tapson
With a Republican in the White House threatening to – horrors! –
make America great again, nostalgia for the
Communist-utopia-that-could-have-been is running high among dejected
leftists. Last Monday on May Day, otherwise known among Reds as
International Workers’ Day, the New York Times actually published an encomium to those thrilling days of yesteryear “when Communism inspired Americans.”
But it’s not just American communists keeping the dream alive; in the
run up to May Day the week before, writing for the digital news
publication Quartz, Australia’s Helen Razer explained “Why I’m a Communist—and Why You Should Be, Too.”
According to the website description, the chief focus of Razer’s work “has been what she sees as the crisis of liberalism.” The real crisis is that true liberalism has been shoved aside by a radical left that embraces violent totalitarianism, but that’s not Razer’s take. In her mind, the crisis is that pure communism hasn’t been given enough of a chance to succeed. “Communism is a system of social organization that has never been truly tried and, these days, never truly explained. Yet it inspires fear in some, derision in others, and an almost universal unconcern for what it is actually intended to convey.”
This is the excuse communists repeatedly trot out in the face of a tsunami of evidence that their ideology has indeed been tried all over the world and has proven to be arguably the most devastating, inhumane belief system ever imposed on mankind. Every country where communism has been “tried” has gone to hell because of it. That’s not a coincidence nor is it just a failed effort to get it right; that is the inevitable consequence of communism.
No no no, Razer and other communist hopefuls argue. Marx’s ideas aren’t evil, just misunderstood. All this “fearful European talk about the ‘specter’ of communism,” for example, is nothing but “jittery gossip,” she states. So, “given that a) Marx is tough, and b) you’re pretty busy making profit for capitalists all day,” she has taken it upon herself to enlighten you about this “historical stage vital to the flourishing of all.”
