Zombie has that picture and a series of others – the normalization of communism on the left is complete in the United States as the rally included members of the SEIU who, at the least, have no problem with marching with the communists. Other pictures show images of Lenin (responsible for at least 5 million murders) and Guevera (Castro’s executioner) being proudly carried. More than likely, of course, the people carrying the banners don’t even know – communist crimes are not taught in our schools while the legend of the “good Lenin/bad Stalin” persists, as does the concept of Guevera as a revolutionary romantic.

It is both astounding and sad that such an evil lie can persist here in 2011. Socialism – of whatever stripe – is based upon the fundamental lie that mankind can be perfected by the actions of Man. That we don’t need a savior, we can save ourselves – and create the Kingdom of God without God. But the fact remains that even if we all agreed to work hard and diligently – without a single backslider – and share out the goods produced equally among all, it still would not work because (a) we die and (b) even with the best will in the world there never be enough to satisfy all desires. To put it in small, easily understood terms – in the Great Socialist Paradise, who gets to live in the houses with the great view of the beach? There is only a limited amount of beachfront view property and there is certain to be more people who want it than there is supply – and, so, someone is going to have to have their heart’s desire refused; and who gets to decide that, and by what criteria?

Because of this fundamental flaw, violence and murder is inherent in socialism. It can’t be otherwise – if the theory is that we’re all equal (meaning, in socialist ideology, that we’re all exactly the same) and should all have the same but, in practice, this can never be then those holding the levers of power will have to find some means of suppressing those who come up losers in the socialist crap shoot. This is not to say that a capitalist system gets it perfect – by no means; but in the free sale and purchase of property and labor the resources will be allocated more justly than in any possible socialist system (though, of course, the market has to be really free – no crony-capitalists having a rake-off and getting special privileges from government; nor can there be special privileges and rake-offs for government officials, either).

But there they were, on May Day in Los Angeles proclaiming their faith in a communist future. Their faith, that is, in Gulag; in punishment cells; in “loot the looters”…because if they get their way, that is what will come to America.
