Got into a bit of a discussion with a Commie on X and it was interesting in illustrating just how miserably we’ve failed to tell the story of Communism. He was full of the usual “it wasn’t that bad and it was meant to be good and it was better than the Nazis and it is all the West’s fault blah blah blah”. Do have to hand it to the Commies – of all the inhuman things which have come up in modern times, it by far has had the best PR. Of course, they have been helped by the utter destruction of education in the West. Always good to keep that in mind – and you have to consider how truly educated you had to be to get into college unless Daddy was a benefactor or some such. Outside of that leverage, you have to be of a high intellectual level just to be there – but then starting, say, in the late 19th century, the standards were progressively dropped until here in 2026 college grads are barely literate and don’t know what, say, a modestly successful 8th grader might have known 100 years ago. Fertile grounds for Communism!
And that brings up another thing I saw on X a few days back – a young man lamenting the hostility to Communism. Don’t we hidebound geezers understand that sometimes people don’t want to work but want to merely cultivate their own garden in peace? I stayed away from pointing out – as most did – that under Communism you can’t have your “own garden” and instead opted to point out that we have here the primary appeal of Communism: the desire to not work. Somehow or another the Communists assume that “from each according to their ability” will always work out to someone else making sure food is on the table. Plenty of Third World Communist armies were fully staffed with the sons of farmers who’s dream was to be a clerk in an air conditioned office…putting in maybe two hours a day and evenings at a coffee shop discussing the evils of Capitalism and private property. Anything to get out of feeding the hogs, right? And going to Church on Sundays…
And that got me to realize that sloth is, next to pride, the worst sin. The desire to kick back and live on the labor of others – to steal your daily bread. Without even the labor (and danger) of actually robbing someone. Get in and get on is the watchword for humanity unless it is carefully trained out of us. To be decent, one must learn – eventually – that the only things you should have are those you earn. That to live off others – even if it is a freely offered gift – is dishonorable. Better to be the poor worker than the fat welfare bum. Work up a theory which somehow shows that you, the theorist, shouldn’t have to work. Doesn’t matter what you use to justify it as long as you can find and fix someone to take the blame for the fact that injustice exists in the world. All in all, this line of thinking has made me ever more convinced that we’re eventually going to have to create labor camps for the tens of millions who are part of the system of exploitation…real exploitation. Not the so-called Capitalist sort: the exploitation which has an oil field worker turning over 40% of his income so that welfare bums can eat cheetos and a government elite can live in carefully guarded, upscale communities. The HR director as well as the couch potato will benefit greatly spending a few years at hard labor – and we can use this labor to greatly beautify the public spaces of the United States. First by simply cleaning them up, and then by replacing the low-rent construction of roads and bridges with stuff that would make Romans envious. Imagine instead of black lines of asphalt crisscrossing America it was all done with locally obtained paving stones? Bridges made to last two thousand years out of stone rather than steel that rusts away after 100 years? It would be great. And the bums would come back from it healthy…and we would pay them, so they’d also know how truly valuable an earned dollar can be.

I’m guessing that many of them are not going to cooperate, and we’re going to have to kill a few – OK, maybe a lot. I know if the shoe were on the other foot (which it would be if they ever got enough power), I’d resist with every fiber of my being. Of course, as I’ve often commented, I think the yearning for freeDOM is stronger than the yearning for free STUFF.
Might have to be – but it isn’t like we’ll be going up against genuinely tough opposition.
What the Western Ruling Class wants these days is success stories of non-Western people. In the UK, there’s this man who’s black and from poverty…his biography is incredible. And I mean that in the literal sense – it isn’t believable. Among the biographical details are claims he defended his PhD thesis two weeks after brain surgery and that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days. These are downright impossible things to do…but nobody checked. Anyone who said that it should be checked was shouted down as a racist. The man appears to be a regular on the BBC (presumably telling everyone how racist the UK is) and he got a deal to publish his biography. And other than his getting a degree in Education from a local college, none of his biography appears to be true.
Here’s what it really tells us: there are no significant black success stories in the UK. They have to go entirely MiniTru and make up a hero out of whole cloth in order to get what is desired…the poor, black son of migrants makes good. I’m rather astonished at it…there’s gotta be something but apparently there isn’t. Or, at least, not such a story which fits the bill – which must be a story of black superiority over the Brits combined with triumphing over racist oppression (his biography is shot through with all the horrible things white people have done to him…allegedly). If there are black migrant success stories, they are based upon hard work and integrating easily into the very laid back and accepting British culture…that won’t do at all!
People who lie like this are simply not very bright…so I like our chances against them.
Normally a baker’s dozen would be a good thing.
Rift or an attempt to triangulate their way out of a jam? I guess we’ll see.
If it’s a rift, it’s a pretty small rift. But it shows that when the majority of congressional Democrats are faced with a choice between traditional Democrat policies and Marxism, they choose Marxism, or, at the very least, don’t oppose it.
25 years after 9/11 and Democrats are electing Muslims. Muslims are human cockroaches and infest and destroy everything they touch. They are feasting on Democrats now and will soon feast on the rest of us, unless stopped.
I don’t know if anyone keeps such statistics, but it would be interesting to see how many Jews and gays vote for Muslims.
I still think Jews will vote for Muslims if they are presented as anti-Trump. And so will gays. We’ll have to see how strongly Muslims come out in favor of policies so blatantly anti-Jewish and anti-gay they have no choice but to vote against them or not vote at all.
Leftist Jews are Leftists first and last – all other Jews will vote GOP or stay home. OTOH, Jewish campaign money simply won’t be available for Abdul. I rate it as Lean R…he’s just got too much baggage and is too niche for Islamists and Insane Upper Class White Women.
One constituency that is NOT voting for Muslims, is the black community. And I love to see that.
I do know some black people who don’t like Israel – some who are even towards what we would call anti-Semitic. But I don’t think they’re all in on this “Free Palestine” BS. What I see them wanting is jobs and opportunity. Lot of these guys are working their butts off to get ahead…and they’re frustrated by taxes, regulations and seeing foreigners competing with them. That is what I think will drive at least a significant number to either stay home, or vote GOP.
