THE VIEW FROM ST. CHARLES

OCTOBER 15, 2023

VOLUME 45

The Democrats and the leftist commie pinko Marxists have just about destroyed the cohesive fabric that once bound all Americans together as one Nation. It’s being held together with a few thin threads, and they are reaching the limits of their tensile strength. A lot of theories as to why they are doing this, but there is one simple reason, and one reason only. The Democrat leftists don’t believe people should have any power or say in how the government functions. They don’t think you’re smart enough to do that. They believe in “top down” rule, that the government is omnipotent. They do not want you interfering. Nothing would make them happier than scrapping the underpinnings of this Constitutional Republic and replacing it with one party rule like Russia and China. The Democrat party wants you to worship them and visualize the Capitol Mall as the Democrat “Mecca”.

The Manifesto concludes that capitalism does not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, instead ensuring that humans are perpetually stunted and alienated. However, it theorizes that capitalism will bring about its own destruction by polarizing and unifying the proletariat, and predicts that a revolution will lead to the emergence of communism, a classless society in which “the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all”. Marx and Engels propose the following transitional policies: the abolition of private property in land and inheritance; introduction of a progressive income tax; confiscation of rebels’ property; nationalisation of credit, communication and transport; expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; enforcement of universal obligation of labour; and provision of universal education and abolition of child labour. The text ends with a decisive and famous call for solidarity among proletarians, popularized as the slogan “Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains”.

There is one gigantic inherent flaw in the theory of the communist utopian government. The depravity of human beings. Only when leaders are overseen by the citizens, can this be mitigated. If the citizens have no power over the leaders, the corruption of unbridled power almost always leads to disastrous consequences for the citizens.

Considering this fact, why is communism and Marxism always loitering around the front door? Because there are two distinct groups of people. The super aggressive power hungry type, and the “I want a free ride” type. The super aggressive power-hungry folks tell the “free ride” folks they can make their dreams come true. They can have that nice home on a tree lined street like the more successful people because everyone will be equal. They will level the playing field for everyone. This is of course a giant lie, told by the power-hungry folks to gain power. Once they gain power, they are the ones with the big cars, airplanes, and mansions, while the “free ride” folks are housed in a four-room apartment in a drab non-descript 20 story building and forced to take the bus to the government factories. The power people made good on the promise to make everyone equal; equally poor, and oppressed.

My wife’s family was upper middle class in London. She traveled around the world in the 1960’s, at the height of communist rule in Russia. While staying in Yalta, she witnessed Russian factory workers on a “state” vacation on the beach. They were watched over by guards in towers. They were marched on and off the beach, and the guards sounded a horn for their lunch break. She says that traveling across Russia was an eye-opening experience. The people were very poor, the stores were empty, there were no restaurants, people were standing in line for food. She said the people in Yugoslavia were literally dressed in rags. That my friends is the true legacy of communism. Do you think the communist leaders stood in line for food? Do you think they went without? Not on your life.

Americans are traditionally nationalists. We were taught to be that way from birth. We were taught that America was exceptional and the best of the best. I truly believe that. I will always be a nationalist. Old Glory is my pride flag. There are plenty of stories about how America has abused its power over the years, and I’m sure they are true. The people we put in power don’t always share the core ideals of the American way and go astray. America still stands tall among the rest of the world. But a force from within has been at war with that idea for years and has made steady progress in its destruction.

I read something today that emphasizes what I am saying. Google asks; “What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism.” Google’s answer:

There is a considerable difference between nationalism and patriotism. While nationalism emphasizes a unity of cultural past with inclusion of the language and heritage, patriotism is based on love towards people with a greater emphasis on values and beliefs.

When I analyze Google’s statement, this is my takeaway; Nationalism is a rock, Patriotism is Jello. I would rather live on a rock.

We are now about eighty years away from the time when America’s very existence was being threatened by some very powerful nations attempting to dominate the world. Every American knew how critical their overall contribution was in that effort to prevent that from happening. The younger generations today have no connection to those perilous times. To them, it’s an unimportant event. They have never experienced anything, but prosperity and safety afforded by a strong defense system that was born out of that conflict. They have zero appreciation for the thousands of men and women that died to preserve this nation.

The depreciation of Nationalism lies at the feet of the educational system, all the way from kindergarten through college. They no longer teach American exceptionalism; in fact, they emphasize how terrible America is. America’s educational system has been turned into indoctrination camps. The government and the state run media parrots those ideas and further divides Americans by race, gender, socioeconomic status, and anything else they can conjure up to breed discontent. Their goal is to destroy the unity of the people, making it easier to reach the goal of total government domination. The government is showcasing people with serious mental disorders that think they can magically become the opposite sex by simply claiming it’s true, and shaming the rest of us when we know its B.S. and disrupting normal behavior of 99% of the population, forcing us to share toilets and changing rooms with the opposite sex. That my friends is the very definition of insanity.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rants. I love my country, and I hate the people trying to rip it out of my hands and destroy it for the future generations to love and enjoy. There has to be a special place in hell for those people.
