Andrzej Caruk: "Communism is not just a threat from the past."

As a Polish-Canadian immigrant I am well aware of communism’s fiercely atheistic and bigoted ideology, along with its brutal consequences. In view of our increasingly dangerous world, there is an urgent need now for a physical reminder of the reality of living (in the past or present) under such a totalitarian ideology as communism, founded by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and further disseminated like a deadly epidemic by Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary – a “hero” to some people. This ideological plague is estimated to have killed about 100 million people worldwide, ranging from the Great Famine under Mao to Holodomor in Ukraine to the killing fields in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge to Joseph Stalin’s purges.

Not Me said...: Anyone who has been paying attention the past eight years knows that communism is not dead- not with a communist in the White House and his whole administration full of them, running every department of the U.S. government.
And anyone who has been paying attention has noticed that the U.S. has not had a SINGLE victory in ANY endeavor over the same period of time, and has noticed the destruction to our nation and American society, and the total lawlessness of our congress, government agencies, and even the supreme court.
No, communism is just as dangerous as ever, and in fact is closer than ever to total victory over us. The only difference from the expected method of takeover was the fact that communism was voted into power in 2008 and again in 2012 instead of being the result of a war with the former (and current) U.S.S.R. and China.; January 20, 2016 at 10:23 AM

Nemesis said...: Diana West's book, American Betrayal, is an eye opener in this regard, not just for America's case, but for the West in general.

The long march through all of our institutions by the soviet communists is no myth!; January 20, 2016 at 3:40 PM
ag42b said...: If anyone would know about the horrors of communism, it would be the Poles. First their nation was swallowed by Hitler's murderous Reich, then "liberated" by the equally murderous forces of communism. People were afraid to even try to enjoy any of the benefits of liberty that we take for granted, for fear of their lives. Sometimes, people were murdered for no reason at all. If a Pole speaks about a political danger, I would always take the time to listen.; January 20, 2016 at 10:08 PM
Allen said...: I work with many people who come from areas that became communist..cambodia, laos, vietnam, poland, east germany...and hey all have the same stories. and they're all 100 times as patriotic and appreciative of this country than the kids coming out of school.

I think, if the time came, we'd find more allies among people that have experienced communism first hand than we realize. after all, they know exactly what is at stake, and they know there is no where left to run to.; January 21, 2016 at 2:05 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
