Bernie’s Big Rock Candy Mountain

[PoliticalChic]

Socialism/Marxism/Progressivism/Collectivism, in its simplest iteration, is this:
Abolition of private property


12. When Neo-Marxism came to this nation after WWII it behaved like a drop of mercury rolling off the table, hitting the floor: it broke in a dozen tiny droplets. Most of the droplets can be quickly identified as political. So, able to hide behind seemingly benign names….like environmentalism.

Conservation biology is the seedbed for the Global Warming nuts. Elizabeth Nickson explains it in “Eco-Fascists.” The tyranny of the environmental movement is based on coercion, regulation so punitive that entire counties have been bankrupted, property confiscation, the loss of homes.
Just another form of Marxism, socialism, communism, Progressivism.....


The delusion has led to the sequestration of productive land unmatched since the age of kings. Over 30% of the American land base lies under no-use or limited-use restrictions….almost 700 million acres. The Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior are targeting the confiscation of another 213 million acres, bringing the count to nearly half of the continent! http://r-calfusa.com/Trade/property_rights/100900BLMLeakedMemo.pdf



What is the opposite view, the American view????
That property is synonymous with prosperity.


Property rights precede liberty. Perhaps some know that before it became “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in our Declaration of Independence, John Locke wrote that man has a right to “life, liberty, and property.” Property Rights Have Personal Parallels





13. Marxists , in the guise of 'environmentalists,' confiscate private property under the claim of saving species, or of public safety.

"Take the spotted owl case….One of the people instrumental in shutting down the forests told me that ‘if the spotted owl hadn’t existed, we would have had to invent it.’ The goal was to stop logging….It is totally questionable whether owls were endangered by logging. Was it good for the overall health of the forest? Probably not. Was it good for the spotted owl? It probably didn’t make a difference. Did it hurt the overall economies of the West? Yes.”
Nickson, “Eco-Fascists,” p.129.




The Communist Manifesto was a war on private property, and, since Liberalism/Progressivism mirror so very many of Marx’s views and endeavors, the current political elites….read ‘Democrats’…view property in the very same way.

“…there are four great blessings that cannot easily be realized in a society that lacks the secure, decentralized, private ownership: liberty, justice, peace, and prosperity….Leon Trotsky long ago pointed out that where there is no private ownership, individuals can be bent to the will of the state”
Bethell, “The Noblest Triumph,” p.9

You may call the facts that I provide whatever you wish.....but they remain facts.

Can you list the items above that the Marxist Sanders has repudiated?

Can you list the items above that the Marxist Sanders has disavowed????

No?

Not a single one????

I may just get tired of winning.

I've never asked Bernie specifically, can you list any of the items above that Bernie has reaffirmed?

You dodged this question:

Will you vote for this Marxist?

Seems you have inadvertently revealed the sort of non-American you are, huh?

While you'd make Joe McCarthy proud, I'm not convinced Bernie is a Marxist. You'll forgive me if I think he knows more about his positions than you do.

As for voting for him? Depends on who he is running against.

1. Putting you in your place seems to have become my avocation.

2. I provided a multitude of items the conclusion of which is that Sanders is a Marxist. You couldn't find a single item to dispute.

3.You imply some disagreement with Senator Joseph McCarthy, yet you cannot deny that you would vote for a Marxist.

4. Senator McCarthy is a true American hero, whose claims have been almost entirely been verified.

5. Now, for more history of which you are ignorant....

Congressional Progressive Caucus was founded in 1991 by Bernie Sanders-the openly socialist then Congressman from Vermont, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the radical Washington DC based "think tank" Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).

Many members were and continue to be linked to DSA and/or the Communist Party USA, IPS or other radical organizations.

Michael Harrington, founder of the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA., knew that infiltration of the Democratic Party was primary, and it already contained all of the progressive elements The Eduard Bernstein Internet Archive Socialism time line. The DSA remains the principle branch of the Socialist International, whose primary goal is global governance under worldwide socialism.

a. The Socialist International boasts it is successor to the First International of Karl Marx, 1864. “Ever since its inception in 1951, the Socialist International has made cosmetic efforts to distance itself from communist socialists.”

Notice that they refer to Bernie as openly socialist not openly Marxist. You can try the guilt-by-association but it won't fly with me. I know an American that does business with Russia and has praised a former Soviet spy-master, a man linked to murders around the globe. He doesn't admit to being a Marxist either.

He wrote: “The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, on which will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last…We reach for something more sublime and more just: the common good or the community of goods! Nor more individual property in land: the land belongs to no one. We demand, we want, the common enjoyment of the fruits of the land: the fruits belong to all.” Here, then, are the major themes of socialist theory. From a speech by Rev. Robert A. Sirico, President, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty.

If ownership of anything, ‘property,’ is actually the fruits of one’s own labor….how does the state come to own them???

And….if Bernie the Hypocrite and Ocasio the Moron see the state as entitled to take your property and assign it to those “unwilling to work,” as she wrote in the Green New Deal…..

Economic Inequality Myths
It isn’t rocket science. Only the willfully stupid could fail to understand that as the rich get richer, the poor get richer too. Economic inequality is only a problem for people who wallow in envy.

Rising tides lift all boats. Ebbing tides leave all of the boats on their side in the mud. America is proof of the former. Any country that ever tried to implement Marxism is proof of the latter.

Socialists are simply communists who aren't quite strong enough yet to build gulags and slaughter their enemies.



1. The Communists and their Marxist cousins, the Socialists,

have worked for revolution since the advent of the New Deal

twenty-one years ago by infiltrating government offices, , labor

unions, schools and colleges, churches, radio and television,

the movies, the publishing business.

2. In an article on socialism in the Encyclopedia Britannica,

Prof. G. D. H. Cole, a leading theoretician and historian of

the British Labor Party, declares: The distinction between socialism as distinguished by various Labor and Socialist parties of Europe and the New World, and communism, as represented by the Russians and minority parties in other countries is one of tactics-and-strategy rather than one of objective. Communism is indeed only socialism pursued by revolutionary means and making its revolutionary method a canon of faith...."

In The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels stated that

communist ends can be attained "only by the forcible overthrow

of all existing social conditions."



Now....aren't you sorry you never read a book?

A coincidence!

I was just taking notes on this Stossel article....



“A Lie, a Myth and a Question


Socialists like Bernie Sanders tell us that "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer."

That's a lie.

Over the past 30 years, more than a billion people climbed out of extreme poverty. Thanks to capitalism, more than a billion people no longer struggle to survive on a few pennies a day.

But it's a myth that Americans are locked into their economic class.

Economists at Harvard and Berkeley crunched the numbers and found most people born to the richest fifth of Americans fell out of that bracket within 20 years.

Likewise, most born to the poorest fifth climb to a higher quintile. Some make it all the way to the top.

…"3 out of 4 Americans will hit that top 20 percent at some point in their lifetime."

You see America's income mobility on the Forbes richest list. Most of the billionaires are self-made. They didn't inherit money. They created their wealth.

Progressives like to point out that in Scandinavian countries, people say they are happier than Americans. Scandinavians have more equal incomes than Americans.

But that proves nothing. Incomes are more equal in Afghanistan, too. Incomes are more equal when everyone is poor.” A Lie, a Myth and a Question

 

[PoliticalChic]

14. “By the late 19th century, many socialists were aware of the problem of communes.”
Tom Bethell.


Instead of relying on the goodness of humans under anarchy, that everyone would work 'to their ability,' for everyone else, the problem with the communes, and with the Liberal welfare system, the new socialists plan was control from the center, central planning, the compulsory organization of society.

“The shortage of virtue that had disabled communes would be remedied by force. Everyone would be obliged to obey the plan and the state would assume omnipotence.”
Ibid.

Bakers would be forced to bake any cake the state ordered them to.
See what I did there?






15. Note the subtle alteration: the original socialist view was that everyone would see the light, and human nature would change to that of angels,….but when that didn’t pan out, now, a handful of wise and virtuous…..like the Clintons…..would direct everyone.


The French Revolution chopped off head.

The Bolshevik Revolution had gulags and concentration camps.

The modern American Liberals ridicule, censor, close down businesses, depriving the recalcitrant of their livelihood.

Every form of the above revolutions was an attempt to 'fundamentally change' society.That applies to communism, socialism, Liberalism, Nazism, fascism, or Progressivism.



A change from this: free markets, individualism, and limited constitutional government to totalitarian dictatorships.
If you like that idea....vote Democrat.

16.The three aims of Leftism have always been the abolition of private property, of religion, and of marriage/family.

b."Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street"

And another 'coincidence'.....

"Government control of private sector activity...is aptly described as Bolshevik- or Marxist, socialist, collectivist, statist, or, for that matter, fascist, too.Indeed, nationalized health care was one of the first programs enacted by the Bolsheviks after they seized power in 1917(Banks, insurance companies and means of communications were also taken over by Soviet authorities immediately."
Dziewanowski, "A History of Soviet Russia," p. 107.

They didn't call it ObamaCare....





But they never gave up......

16. Alexander Trachtenberg... longtime activist in the Socialist Party of America and later in the Communist Party USA....

“When we get ready to take the United States, we will not take it under the label of communism; we will not take it under the label socialism. These labels are unpleasant to the American people, and have been speared too much. We will take the United States under labels we have made very lovable; we will take it under liberalism, under progressivism, under democracy. But, take it we will.”
~ Alexander Trachtenberg, at the National Convention of Communist Parties, Madison Square Garden, 1944
Trachtenberg worked tirelessly to gain a strangle hold on the culture....and to hide terms like Communist and Socialist.

"Bernie Sanders: 'Real Socialism-Induced Riots Have Never Been Tried'
May 1st, 2019

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Bernie Sanders was quick to react to the violence in Venezuela, pointing out that real socialism-induced riots have never been tried.

"I know what you’re thinking," he said at a rally Wednesday. "The riots in Venezuela prove that socialism will always lead to violent uprisings and mass chaos. Well, my friend, not so fast. Because the truth is that real socialism-induced riots have never been tried."

"Sure, many nations claim their form of socialism-induced riots were the real deal. But pure socialism-induced riots, untainted by the free market, have never been allowed to reach their full potential. Greedy capitalists always swoop in to protect 'their' stores and 'their' property, just when the looting starts to make real changes."

Sanders insisted that if "true" riots, looting, starvation, and violence caused by socialism were allowed to flourish, the world would be tripping over itself to implement socialism.

"You know what these property 'owners' are really afraid of?" he said. "If the world ever saw true socialism-induced riots in action, every nation would clamor to replace their inequitable systems with socialism-induced riots."

"One of these days, a nation will burn itself to the ground with real socialism-induced riots, and we will finally prove that the inevitable collapse of the socialist state is the only way to achieve the equitable utopia we deserve."
