Quote of the Day
The Communist Manifesto turns 178 today. Read it if you haven’t. Know what it says. Understand its appeal. Then look at what happened every single time someone tried to implement it. Ideas have consequences. These ideas had 100 million of them.

When someone tells you that guns are dangerous and that you should not have them, tell them how many millions of people have been murdered by the dangerous ideas in The Communist Manifesto. Then inform them of your opinion of gun control.
Jesus told us;
“You will know them by their fruit.”
And in communisms case by the weeds, moral bankruptcy, and dead carcasses rotting everywhere. Anywhere its culture is ever inflicted on a society.
Every single time.
It is truly a crime against humanity.
The most murderous ideology in the history of mankind, which is really quite an accomplishment.
Islam, by their own historical accounts, ranks second on that scale, but it took them over 12 centuries to get there compared to communism’s 1.

I blame Rousseau
You still haven’t read Rerum Novarum and Fratelli Tutti, have you?
Marxism is merely a secularized version of Catholic Social Doctrine, set up as its deadly opponent while being its deadly partner. Together, they form one of the great dialectics of the modern age. This is the counter-reformation. Together, and combined with Islam, Christian Nationalism, the Evangelicals, and modern, so-called Judaism, they will bring about a replay of the political, social, legal, and religious characteristics of the Dark Ages; a truly world-wide image of the beast.
The comrades make the Nazis look like pikers.
Homegrown useless idiots will enjoy the utopia when they hear please face wall now comrade.
What you really want to read is a biography of Marx. He was the original trustifarian layabout who lived his life on inheritances, handouts, and sponging off of friends and family. His political philosophy was ideally suited to just such a person.
It has been a while, so I don’t remember the book(s), but I have read a lot about his personal life. Even his mother didn’t think much of him. The economists of the time quickly dismissed his ideas, too. It was only after he was dead that Lenin revived the ideas and modified them did the “cancer” metastasize.
