What do communists always do once they consolidate power?

Marxism is a vicious ideology, and it’s one that is rooted in a divisive vision of irreconcilable class conflict. As important economist Ludwig von Mises noted, “According to the Marxian view... human society is organized into classes whose interests stand in irreconcilable opposition.” Moreover, as Mises explains, Marxists believe that people’s very thoughts ought to be determined by their class and that those who differ from the prescribed worldview are class traitors.

Such a divisive ideology only fuels perpetual conflict, not progress toward reconciliation. By failing to drive this toxic extremism out loudly and clearly from their side of the issue, the large majority of Black Lives Matter supporters—who simply seek reform, justice, and reconciliation—take a chainsaw to any chance of achieving common ground and consensus.

That well known commie, Milton Friedman, had this to say about Mises:

I recall a personal episode, at the first meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society — the founding meeting in 1947 in Mont Pelerin, Switzerland. Ludwig von Mises was one of the people who was there. I was also. The group had a series of discussions on different topics. One afternoon, the discussion was on the distribution of income, taxes, progressive taxes, and so on. The people in that room included Friedrich von Hayek, Fritz Machlup, George Stigler, Frank Knight, Henry Hazlitt, John Jewkes, Lionel Robbins, Leonard Read — hardly a group whom you would regard as leftists. In the middle of that discussion von Mises got up and said "You're all a bunch of socialists," and stomped out of the room.

Clearly a stable genius.

I've always been quite fond of the Marxist form of comedy.

They were definitely for the proletariat.

As I recall, the ultimate aim of marxism is a classless society because the state will not have to oppress anyone after the proletariat revolution. Captialism relies more on class distinctions and conflict among the calss, with the main aim of existence being progressing from one class to the other by one's own works, but it often involves maintaining one's lofty position by oppressing others.

The only true marxist "societies" I have ever seen is on a small scale among communes (and some "religious" communities); large nations decried as communist by the capitalists are as far from marxism as the US is; they just substitute another ruling class.

[RayThom]

Oh... this is about "communism."

I misunderstood it as 'comedy.' Sorry.

[Big RR]

Well, the unknown Marx brother was Karl.

And likening what Lenin, Stalin, or Mao did to the philosophy of Marx and Engels to true communism is comedy.

Report: Black Lives Matter Supporter Who Gleefully Kneeled on White Baby’s Neck Has Been Jailed, and is Awaiting Charges
The sad truth is that media won't barely utter a peep about this because the baby is white. Doesn't fit the "narrative."
BY MISSY CRANE
JULY 23, 2020



The man who was seen gleefully kneeling on a baby’s neck in a disgusting viral photo has been caught and is in jail.
But he was not arrested on “child abuse” charges.

Instead, “Black Lives Matter” supporter Isaiah Jackson, who posted a disturbing photo of himself gleefully kneeling on a white baby’s neck while writing, “BLM Now MF” has been picked up and tossed jail on a probation violation charge.

The 20-year-old Jackson was booked in Ohio’s Clark County Jail and is now awaiting charges on the child abuse he so happily engaged in.

From Bizpacreview
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said it is investigating the alleged child-abuse incident. The two-year-old toddler was taken to a local hospital, but was not injured.

The mother of the baby is Isaiah Jackson’s girlfriend. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said the mother was unaware that her boyfriend was using her child as a prop in a Black Lives Matter propaganda photo.

The Sheriff’s Office said: “Interview with the mother revealed that she was unaware of the photo having been taken, or its contents, until she had been informed by other parties.”The disturbing photo went viral after being shared by Facebook user Vincent James.

In it, a gloating Jackson — who’s 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds — kneels on the neck of the white baby.
The child’s arms are forcefully held behind his back by an unidentified accomplice.

It's amazing that the Sun (!), of all newspapers, might just possibly almost maybe more thoughtful than those well-known journalists, Missy Crane and Wayne Dupree.

The stunt is said to be part of a "George Floyd Challenge" circulating social media.

People mimic the pose of Minnesota ex-cop Derek Chauvin, who was seen kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest. Several others, including three British Teens, and 37-year-old mom Keriann Smith, have come under fire for allegedly taking part in the challenge.

The three teens were arrested and investigated for a possible hate crime, the New York Post reported.

Smith – who allegedly kneeled on her 14-year-old son's neck and asked "Do you want to know how George Floyd died?" – faces charges for child abuse, strangulation and battery among other counts.

[Bicycle Bill]

Two questions — 1) Whodafuck thought that a 'George Floyd Challenge' was a good idea to begin with, and 2) whodafuck would have believed that there are that many crazy em-effers who would go along with it?

I've always believed in evolution, but it's copy-cat nonsensical shit like this that also makes think that we are witnessing a process known as "devolution", and it won't be long before man will have to surrender his 'Homo sapiens' label to the orangutan or the chimpanzee.

Just curious Meade - were you aware that Devo was formed at Kent State partly as a result of the 1970 shootings?

Yep, Amuricans love commies, your next President will be a commie pinko liberal...

One hundred days before the presidential election, Joe Biden has built a commanding and enduring lead over Donald Trump, whose path to victory has narrowed considerably in the months since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The president’s fortunes appear increasingly tied to the trajectory of a public health crisis he has failed to contain, with the death toll past 145,000 and the economy in turmoil.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll this month showed Biden far ahead of Trump, 55% to 40% among registered voters. That contrasted with March, when Biden and Trump were locked in a near tie as the virus was just beginning to spread.

The same poll found Trump’s approval ratings had crumbled to 39%, roughly the same share of the electorate that approved of his response to the outbreak while 60% disapproved. Especially troubling for the president are a new spate of polls that suggest he is losing his edge on the economy, formerly Biden’s greatest vulnerability.

“It is very hard to envision a scenario where you can make an argument for the president’s re-election if unemployment is well over 10% and there’s no sign that the pandemic is under control,” said Michael Steel, a Republican strategist who was an adviser for Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“The political environment and the economic situation could look very different 100 days from now, but if the election were held today, it is very likely that the former vice-president would win – and pretty substantially.”

Surveys show Biden ahead in a clutch of battleground states that secured Trump’s victory in 2016, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. A Quinnipiac University poll of Florida, seen as crucial for Trump, found Biden up by 13 points.

Biden’s campaign is now eyeing an expanded electoral map that could also deliver control of the Senate, challenging Trump in traditionally Republican states like Arizona, where the president has consistently led in statewide polls, as well as in conservative strongholds like Texas, where a new Quinnipiac poll found the candidates neck-and-neck.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Don't be too sure, Gob. I watched an Aljazeera interview of half-a-dozen businessmen who had moved house from California to Nevada, along with their business. All of them expressed disapproval of Trump's attitude, language, brain, what-have-you. But all of them will vote for him because they are sick and tired of illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, funding of illegal aliens, coddling of street-bums, etc. etc.

They think he will do something about those things - and I don't think they are too worried about "rights" as defined by the left-lunatic elements of the Democrat party. Their attitude is shared by very many more people than pollsters winkle out.

Would anyone here even think of such a thing as using a baby as a propaganda tool? Only a communist mind thinks like that; the kind of mind that positions an anti-aircraft gun, in time of war, in schoolyards in hopes of using the dead bodies of children as propaganda. In WWII, the British sent their children to the country to protect them, but in North Vietnam, the communist sent their children to die to promote the war. The mind of the communist is sub-human, but what can you expect from a people that first make war on God, such a people have no sense of right and wrong only expediency.

Well, that wasn’t my intension. As for as I know, the anti-abortion folks are not aborting babies simulated or real.

Are the atheist and agnostic closing churches and persecuting church members?
