This is the kind of people Kevin Levin and his ilk admire and consider heroes.
Just a reminder of what communism does best....
THIS is why the school boys memorialized by Silent Sam and the men that Confederate monuments memorialize were morally and intellectually superior to the communists responsible for the mountains of dead bodies, and the knaves in the top photo ...
Just a reminder why the thugs have to pull down monuments and the commies of the last century had to murder tens of millions. Igor Shafarevich, Soviet mathemetician and dissident, wrote The Socialist Phenomenon (which is available online free). This is a recap of his views written by Tom Bethell:
"...socialism had endured throughout history, usually in the form of one or another Christian heresy. It gives expression to the gnostic urge to rebel — the rebellion of the educated against the constraints imposed by Creation and by God. In earlier periods, when of course the socialist label was not used, it could be identified by its insistent, unvarying emphasis on certain goals: the destruction of private property and of the traditional or 'nuclear' family; and above all, the dismemberment of traditional, or orthodox religion. Throughout history, the phenomenon has been obsessed with material equality, and with the eradication of individual and gender distinctions. It wars incessantly against the normal. A 'striving for self-destruction,' for nothingness, for the “death of mankind,” is the true goal of socialism. Instinctively, without stating it or even seeing it as the conscious goal, the socialist phenomenon seeks the death of the human race."Destruction is their ideology. The Raleigh-Durham commies can't play Mass Murder, so they have to settle for destroying monuments, and murdering existing culture.
And to lazy "anti-racists" they're heroes.
(Note, photo of the North Carolina commies has not been authenticated; so sue me.)
The question is, which is worse, these folks or the racists the Virginia Flaggers support?
ReplyDeleteThe Virginia Flaggers don't support racists. But to answer your question, the Virginia Flaggers don't go around destroying property. They don't cling to an ideology responsible for the murder of upwards of 200 million people in the twentieth century. Antifa thugs arsoned and rioted and injured people in Berkeley, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Washington D.C. The Flaggers have never arsoned or destroyed property or beat people up. You know this.
ReplyDeleteI've got The Black Book of Communism and Solzhenitsyn's books. All interesting and informative reads.
DeleteHere are some other good books that I've read and own;
DeleteLeftism. By the Austrian Nobleman Erik von Kuehnelt- Leddihn.
Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime 1919-1924. By Richard Pipes.
The Spanish Civil War. By Hugh Thomas.
Interestingly, Antifa use a lot of symbolism and flags from the Spanish Civil War.
In some ways, there are parallels between what is happening now, and the Spanish Civil War.
If you want to see what a country governed by Anarchists, Reds and Antifa is like, see Republican Spain. It was a real Marxist slaughterhouse.
Also, Igor Shefaravich's The Socialist Phenomenon. It's a free download. Shefaravich was a dissident during the soviet years. He saw it up close, studied it.

" They don't cling to an ideology responsible for the murder of upwards of 200 million people in the twentieth century"
ReplyDeleteBut they do cling to an Ideology that enslaved millions and millions in the 19th Century and before and to those who fought a war for slavery's survival.
Well, they don't cling to a philosophy that enslaved anyone. BTW, the ideology that enslaved people was the one found in the USA. Nobody fought a war for the survival of slavery.
DeleteCorey, your moral compass is broken, totally broken. Enslavement, where the enslaved are given food, clothing, shelter, religious instruction and sometimes an opportunity to buy their freedom, simply cannot be compared to the gulags, to the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE MURDERED.
MURDERED, COREY. MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED,MURDERED.
Get that through your skull. The people taking down monuments ADMIRE not just the ideology BUT THE PRACTICE OF MURDERING PEOPLE.
Seven million Ukranians murdered by starvation, Corey. Can you even conceive of that, or has your ludicrous obsession with slavery rendered you unable to see the wrongness, the horror of it, so that you think living with a lack of freedom, and having to work, is the same as getting lined up in front of a ditch and shot?
You're a disgusting excuse for a human being. You think enslavement is worse than multi-millions mass murder.
And you falsely accuse others of something you KNOW they don't believe in or support.
You're worse than disgusting. You would have been a joyous torturer in a Soviet gulag....
People that topple monuments are commies? Lots of leaps in this one.
ReplyDeleteSledge, please. Malcolm Suber, chief Takem Downer in New Orleans, is a Maoist so over-the-top he was kicked out of the CPUSA. That didn't dissuade him in the least. He's still a commie, and is supported by the New Orleans Worker's Group, a communist organization that he ALSO organized. That group celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution back in October and waxed poetic about how wonderful the Soviet Union was -- education for everybody, jobs for everybody ... the just forgot to mention the 60 MILLION people murdered by the soviet government
DeleteTakiyah Thompson, who tied the strapping around the monument in Durham, is a card-carrying world worker's group member. They are commies. The people in the photo in my post are self-identifed as members of the International Workers of the World. If you think that's just a labor union, think again. When you hear them talk about "revolutionary" this and "revolutionary" that, the revolution they are talking about is communism.
When eight or ten people protested the Confederate memorial in Pensacola a few weeks ago, the protest was conducted by the "Party for Socialism and Liberation." What cognitive dissonance! Socialism is not liberation and vice versa.
Antifa is not antifascist, whatever they claim. They are pro-socialist and pro-anarchy. They don't care about Confederate monuments. They care about destroying. That's what they live for, destruction.
BTW, Sledge, why would a labor union go on a crusade against monuments. Aren't they supposed to concentrate on getting a fair shake for workers? Confederate statues have no bearing on that.
DeleteHere's another one for you. Loan Tran -- big LBGT activist and hard-core communist. Helped to destroy the Confederate memorial in Durham.
Deletehttps://keywiki.org/Loan_Tran
The Communists in Russia tried to destroy the Russian people's History, Culture and Identity. A big part of that was destroying their past.
DeleteSo, because, according to you, there were some communists involved, then everyone involved were communists. Isn't that the same broad brush you say shouldn't be used to paint your heritage?
DeleteAlso, anyone fighting for the CSA was fighting for the goals of the CSA. Those goals were the expansion and perpetuity of African chattel slavery. While Private Joe might not have had slaves, nor wanted slaves, nor even wanted to fight for the CSA, his fighting was used to obtain the goals of the CSA. Of course, if he never wanted to fight for the CSA, it doesn't make sense to wave around a flag that made him die for something he didn't believe in.
Not according to me. The leaders of the Takem Downer movement are self-identified communists. They are part of a movement to take down the United States. Haven't you been paying attention? At rallies to remove monuments, they chant, "No Trump, no wall, no USA at all!"
DeleteQuote: "Also, anyone fighting for the CSA was fighting for the goals of the CSA. Those goals were the expansion and perpetuity of African chattel slavery."
Nope. That was why some states (not all) seceded, but they fought because the United States didn't want them seceding so they invaded to kill Southerners and Southerners defended themselves, their families, homes and communities. When you are so blinded by slavery that you can't see anything else, you reduce human beings to cardboard cutouts in order to maintain your (purposely?) mistaken view.
The TakemDowner movement is communist led. Some of the dupes who follow may not be communists. They're just dupes.
How many people were murdered so the south could have its labor system Connie? MURDERED...tossed overboard during the Middle Passage due to lack of food or water or due to disease? 12.5 million are taken from Africa and shipped to the new world. How many died at the hands of slave masters here in the US who could kill without fear of the law?
ReplyDeleteYou seem to forget that I am a teacher and in Illinois one of the educational mandates I have is to teach about the Holocaust and other genocides...so don't assume I don't know about the millions of those murdered by Nazis, socialists and communists. But those people were not southern Americans who DID fight a war to protect slavery.
--How many people were murdered so the south could have its labor system Connie? MURDERED...tossed overboard during the Middle Passage due to lack of food or water or due to disease? 12.5 million are taken from Africa and shipped to the new world.--
DeleteCorey, they weren't murdered so the South could have its labor system. What good would laborers murdered before they even arrived do for anybody. LISTEN TO YOURSELF, ignoramus.
The vast majority of those brought to the New World did NOT come to the South, or the British Colonies. Only about 300,000 to 500,000 of that 12.5 million. But we never hear a peep out of you about the slaves that went to Brazil, or Central America, or were worked to death in the Caribbean. That's because you don't hate Brazilians, or Central Americans or Caribbeans so you don't care how many they enslaved and murdered. You DO hate Southerners so you lie about slavery in the South which was vastly better than slavery in those other places -- to vent your hatred.
--How many died at the hands of slave masters here in the US who could kill without fear of the law?--
I dunno. How many?
--You seem to forget that I am a teacher and in Illinois one of the educational mandates I have is to teach about the Holocaust and other genocides...so don't assume I don't know about the millions of those murdered by Nazis, socialists and communists. But those people were not southern Americans who DID fight a war to protect slavery.--
"Those people were not southern Americans who DID fight a war to protect slavery". -- so they are somehow morally superior? Those who mass murdered in the name of inhuman ideology were morally superior to Southerners, only 12% of whom owned slaves but DID NOT FIGHT A WAR TO PROTECT SLAVERY. Is that the risible point you are trying to make with that last sentence?
Your ignorant and juvenile viewponts could make anyone forget you are a teacher (not to mention your extreme misuse of the language). Your critical thinking skill are laughable -- you don't even see the relevance of my post, do you? Lemme make it easer for you to understand.
THE COMMIES TEARING DOWN CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS ARE DEVOTED TO AN IDEOLOGY THAT MURDERED UPWARD OF 200 MILLION PEOPLE IN LESS THAN A CENTURY.
The images of piles of rotting corpses in those communist countries -- you don't see anything like that in the Confederacy.
12.5 million is a small FRACTION of 100 to 200 million. Get a grip -- on reality.
Delete"-How many people were murdered so the south could have its labor system Connie? MURDERED...tossed overboard during the Middle Passage"
The slaves that were brought to the South, were brought by British settlers from Barbados, Jamaica, Antigua, St. Christopher, Nevis, and Montserrat. They also brought rice, indigo, sugar, cotton,tobacco and the plantation culture, which spread West into Missouri, Oklahoma and East Central Texas.
At that time, there wasn't any such thing as the United States. Furthermore, the South was seen as being a part of the broader British Caribbean plantation civilisation, not the Middle Atlantic and New England colonies.
Interestingly, the Crown specified that the Virginia, Carolina and Georgia colonies were to be the center of the main effort of colonisation and development. Not the Northern colonies.Which were still, nominally, colonies of the Dutch, or a part of French Canada at the Founding of the Virginia and Carolina colonies.
