I went and screen scraped writings I could find from von Brunn. He’s out there (from one of his writings): “It is the influx of this fiat money that causes the American citizen’s hard-earned cash to lose its purchasing power. That is inflation. That is usury. That is how TALMUDIC JEWS have debased U.S. currency.”
I don’t get his logic. I followed the wording about the effect of pushing out fiat money into the marketplace. I don’t get the cause of such an effect being Jewish.
That’s a truly good distinction, Hugin.
That said, I think you would agree that it nonetheless boils down to what Marxism REALLY is and always has been (as opposed to the lying Utopian pipe dream fed to the masses) being virtually identical in EVERY way with fascism.
Marx said “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” But HE was the one zapped out on the opiates.
Communists are not among your more honest people. They tend to tell you what they think you want to hear until they can seize your property and stick you in a gulag.
Kind of reminds me of this (From Chapter II of the PRC Constitution):
Article 35. Freedom of speech, press, assembly: “Citizens of the People’s Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.”
Meditate on that in light of the Tienanmen Square Massacre.
The State Communism of the USSR was the inevitable result of Marxist thought. If Karl Marx didn’t see that, it merely shows he was profoundly naive.
David Horowitz was a hard-core leftist until after the fall of Vietnam and then Cambodia.
The left had shrilly demanded for years that America abandon South Vietnam and allow “the heroic People’s Republic” to take over.
And when America finally caved in to the pressure of the left (both Republicans AND Democrats) and pulled out, that same “heroic People’s Republican along with Pol Pot in Cambodia moved in and wiped out millions of people.
David Horowitz was “converted” to conservatism when he saw his fellow leftists just shrug their shoulders and walk away from all the human carnage and misery their agenda had caused.
In other words, Horowitz still had the moral capability to consider the consequences of his views and realize how wrong he’d been.
Most liberals seem to lack such a compass.
I’m glad you were like David Horowitz.
Your “brainwashing” statement reminds me of something hilarious:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/14/michelle-obama-named-maxi_n_203448.html
Michelle Obama has been named to “Maxim’s 100 hottest women in the world” list.
Michelle Obama is a vast distance away from being a truly beautiful woman. About the only way she would be “hot” is if someone set her on fire. Yet the left is compelled to view her as such, in “Emperor’s new clothes” fashion.
It’s like liberalism is a disease that rots the very visual cortex, such as one is only allowed to see the “party line.”
He was indeed. It took a cold, cynical opportunist like Lenin, to turn his foolish ideology into a totalitarian state like the USSR.
And if it hadn’t been Lenin, it would have been anybody else.
Marxism has now been tried repeatedly all over the world. It has a 100% track record: it results in totalitarian tyranny every single time it is tried.
