Marxism III

Individuals or groups of individuals who call for a Socialist form of government in the United States, need to accept the paramount dilemma of having their ideal as the foundation for administrating America, that being its incompatibility with the republican form of democracy.

During the past few years, nearly every rational thinking American have become familiar with a minority of members of American society whose primary goal is to make everyone equal. Yet, the difficulty with implementing a socialist form of government is that for the system to function according to its theory, every individual must be replaced by the State; the concept of individuality cannot be a part of society, and herein lies the danger, for as the powers of the State increase, the freedoms of the individual will decrease until one day they are completely taken away.

Throughout the 20^th– century, and now in the second decade of the 21^st – century, there are sufficient examples of how the People – Citizens, are being regarded in a socialist government. One merely needs to closely examine the events in Belarus, Venezuela, and in Xinjiang Provence, the Peoples Republic of China. Places where basic rights are no lingered being respected. Why?

With every socialist country, now as well as in the past, the administrative state rules over the People and no longer is the opposite true. There is no freedom of speech or of the press, hence the blocking – censorship of opposing ideas or ideals on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube. There will be unreasonable searches and seizures, and criminal prosecutions absent of impartial juries, many Americans are being held on a criminal offense, but have yet gone to court primarily due to a different political philosophy.  Moreover, the foremost elements of the American democratic ideal, free will and individual liberty, will hold no position in the socialist doctrine. Since socialism does not recognize freedom as it is known in America, and more alarming it is the first step towards eventual communism, any formal form of government will not be fully recognized which brings us to the problem of anarchy.

The lawlessness exhibited in Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Chicago, Illinois, and other great American cities currently held hostage by anarchistic gangs of thugs synonymous with the Bolsheviks of the previous century, is an example of what could come in the months and years ahead. ANTIFA is a ‘traditional’ Stalinist/Leninist Marxist revolutionary movement that seeks to construct a utopian socialist state by creating a conflict between the working class and the capitalists through class warfare. BLM is a Neo-Marxist revolutionary movement that seeks to create a utopian socialist inspired world by creating multiple cleavages between races, ethnic groups, religions, and economic and cultural backgrounds through a race war. Both organizations seem similar in that they believe that for their utopian visions of the future to take place the current system must be destroyed so that a new world of equality can begin, and though they appear to share the same ideological beliefs, both ANTIFA and BLM are not identical by any stretch of the imagination. Both are just as tenacious and ferocious as the Bolsheviks in achieving their goals – a state controlled by radicals again, where free will and individual liberty are completely denied.

To conclude, most Marxist movements do not spend time on ideological issues other than creating a belief system that is inspirational and actionable. What is more, of the ANTIFA and BLM ‘activists’ you may meet and speak with, most know next to nothing about their own movements. Something their leadership want to keep to themselves. Why? Control. Hierarchies have a very efficient way of dispossessing people, regardless as to who they are, which is a fundamental problem with equality, for it is a very unstable means of not only obtaining power but maintaining it as well. Finally, both organizations seek to violate not only the People’s Constitutional Rights, but their Natural Rights as well. So where does ANTIFA and BLM receive their support. Mainly from the administrative state – the anti-Constitutional state. Were the country is ruled by the few for their own benefit, corrupt and distant from the People. But this is another narrative which has been addressed before and will be again in the future.Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of, “The Gulag Archipelago”, wrote, “Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”
