The Descent of American Capitalism into Marxism
« Thread Started on Jun 1, 2009, 3:15pm »

Whether you agree with the following editorial or not, all should find it interesting what editorialists in (former?) communist countries are saying about the direction our country is heading.

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters. First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters. Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions. So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper. So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

The article reads like one long ranting sentence. There is truth presented but with a social engineering slant. No such thing as a no spin zone. The truth is the world is under a corporate umbrella of imperialism. Obama is merely next pawn. America compromised her freedom long ago with the introduction of the income tax and property taxes. Then came the centralization of the banking system, federalization programs under Roosevelt, The United Nations, the N.E.A., treaties, etc....

Communist ideals took a foothold here long before Obama was born. All presidents are guilty including former Democrat Reagan.

Interesting article.

There was alot of spin that I did not agree with, and particularly the position that all Americans are the same, although that is a reasonable assumption from "way over there." What interests me is that pundits from the countries that have been there seem to be positive that we are rapidly heading there.

John Naisbitt theorized in 1990 with his book, "Megatrends 2000" that just such a political upheaval would happen globally although be centered in America. The fight between socialism and American Capitalism would result in a socialist-capitalism. It iw worth re-reading, but fascinating that he theorized this 20 years ago. I thought it was bull back then.

I was wrong.

John Naisbitt was 100% correct and was probably labeled a nutjob. I remember hearing about his book. What I see is we have a combination somewhere between communism and fascism. In the 90's I had read a lot about this. When you read articles like the above or hear commentators debate like Glenn Beck it is really spin of sorts. It's the same as the staged debates between the two parties on Cspan. It's slight of hand magic. Even though I like Ron Paul I still do not trust any politician. The result of either party being in charge is always the same, more restrictive laws, higher taxes, war, monopolies, etc. That means ultimately there is only one party in charge. In every election there's always this great hope for a savior. Obama is the worst yet because of the worldwide hype and his overly polished delivery. Not to mention the largest corporate support of any candidate to this day. Obama and all Dems of his caliber are for central socialist control, Bush and all neo-cons are for corporate control. That's why we're seeing the knee-jerk reactions from so called conservatives like Limbaugh and OReilly. This is the real debate. I really don't want to be totally cynical but when I see bare bones truth without compromise it's impossible to embrace the propaganda that all politicians emote. I don't want to drink the kool-aid anymore....I've done enough of that when I was younger.

It was interesting being in Toronto last week. Just across the lake from Buffalo, NY. But reading the daily paper with comments like, "the increasingly protectionist United States," and listening to casual conversation about our economy. They seem in general to think that America has been headed this way for a while, but Obama is accelerating it. Interesting. I think Bush got the ball rolling pretty good by forgetting to be President for his last two years, but Obama certainly is doing his part to the best of his ability.

Obama is certainly not going to get us out from under the Fed. Under his authority, the Fed is buying private America.

Our last Real President was Reagan.

Kennedy was killed too early to have a lasting legacy outside of Camelot, a legacy of substance. The media is trying to revive that with the Obamas.
