The rainbow reds are more dangerous than communists of old
The Marxist revolution, symbolized by the hammer and sickle and animated by the cry “Workers of the World, Unite!”, killed at least 50 million people through mass murder and gross economic mismanagement in the 20th century. The United States rightly saw it as an existential threat. Patriots fought hot and cold wars to reverse its advance, and the pushback was largely effective. Communists never gained a foothold in American politics.
TL;DR
- Communism, responsible for millions of deaths in the 20th century, is now present in American politics through the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
- DSA members like Zohran Mamdani in New York City openly quote Marx and advocate for seizing the means of production and confiscating private property.
- DSA's influence is growing beyond New York City, with members holding mayorships and winning elections in various cities and states.
- The DSA's stated agenda includes disbanding the Senate, abolishing the Electoral College, emptying prisons, and taking over the free market.
- The article describes a fusion of Marxist and LGBTQ ideologies as a dangerous "postmodern rejection of all objective truth" and a deconstruction of human nature.
- This new form of communism is considered more dangerous than historical communism because it is detached from the realities of meeting basic human needs and is driven by "delusional pride."
