Is it that American libs are still bitten by the red bug?
This commentary in Pravda, the former official newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party has the leftward slide in the U.S. nailed!
American capitalism gone with a whimper
By Stanislav Mishin

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics.

Both groups understand the same things. The difference is that Russians see that socialism leads to failure, and they know that's a bad thing. obama's voters see that socialism leads to personal power, and they don't care that national failure comes along with that power.

His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
Today's Eastern Europe people DID experience Communism and want NO PART of it.
Today's Western Europe people DID NOT experience Communism - but their MSM and universities were steeped in its communist propaganda for 50 years, and so have convinced the dumbed masses that they (the masses) want THEIR PART of it.
Kind of like winning a Superbowl with an all-pass offense in professional football. It just doesn't work, not even with Tom Brady leading it!
They’ve experienced the reality of it in full force.
I recall long ago when Phil Donahue would have his pal Vladimir Pozner on, who was called the Soviet or “Russian Phil Donahue”. Some lady from Russia stood up crying telling the rest of the audience not to listen to this communist. One might wonder to whom exactly she was referring. :-)
About time for the “red states” to make a declaration of independence from the rump government that styles itself “blue-state”. WE do not have to obey the dictates of the failing nascent obama regime. That is for the sissy-boys and the she-men of the fever-swamp left, not for real Americans. There shall soon be no practical framework from which to run the newly highly centralized government.
They may not be able to escape in Chicago from this highly partisan form of pseudo-diversity, but nobody has to hold still for it in the broad prairies that stretch to the south and west from that benighted city.
They know comrades when they see them.
Every FReeper/American should understand these ideas:

These are not liberals and democrats, these are stone-cold commies.
Communism doesn’t begin with piles of corpses, it begins with hope and change.
Communism is not a huge number of people deciding to be serfs, slaves and suicidal, it is a huge number of people wanting hope and change.
Freedom is binary. You’re either free, or you are not. There are only shades of slavery.
Americans are no longer free. They’re suffering a kind of socialism/communism/fascism.
This is not what the founders had in mind and it is not freedom, as such.
The enemy of freedom is on the left.
The time to begin the fight is right now!
What till Gulags are set up for those that appose the new order. Of course the idiots who vote for people like zero shall still be to stupid to see what the deal is.
That just because you’re a good commie doesn’t mean you’re going to get a cute little dacha on the lake.
Wow...Pravda is making more sense than the MSM. That is sad.
I read this earlier from a DRUDGE link. I can’t disagree with a word of it :(
In fact, he doesn’t even get into health care, carbon credits, military affairs, SCOTUS or the VAT.
The single most often used plea in the Gulags and work collectives during the Soviet Union era was "Comrade Stalin, save me!"

With all due respect to you “Ernest” because I know you are a long time Freeper, I think folks should refrain from posting articles from blogs that are really only quoting from other sources.
It would be better to seek out the original source and post that, providing it has not been posted before.
In this case Pravda is “reprinting” and article originally posted on an anonomous blog. We have no way of knowing who wrote the article or what that author’s actual nationality is, or anything else about him.
Besides all that, Pravda barely even resembles what it was under the Soviet Union, but more resembles the National Enquirer now. Just go look at some of the other articles on their web-site. (French Release Secret Pictures of UFOs, Huge Hairy Sea-Monster Found, ETC.)
The actual essay is good but would have more weight if a person could trust it actually cam from a Russian.
Ummmm, excuse me but doesn't Stanislav Mishin write like he's one of us? A freeper?
Yes, especially his misspellings. There was a nasty discussion on one of the dozen or so previous postings of this article about the alleged illiteracy of the author, because he misspelled “descent”.
Thinking about it, that statement is, in context, correct. A minor qualifier might be added, that excludes Lenin (who was not very Russian) and the Bolsheviks.
Most of the original Communists got dead or exiled.
Errrr.... comrade zero......save me...... I appreciate your understanding of the situation.
> MSM and universities were steeped in its communist
> propaganda for 50 years,
Correction. 150 years. They’ve been in love with Marx and his demonic spawn since his Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, both published in the mid-1800s.
“Be not decieved; God is not mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
~ Galatians 6:7
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.”
~ Hosea 8:7
I didn't plan to be on my knees, in rags, with a tin cup, when invoking the Obamessiah, but, it looks like I'll have to play the part (if I don't have to sell the cup for scrap).
One word answer: Experience.
They already have. They just call it environmentalism.
Before zero’s gang is through with us there may be no more scrap yards to pay for scrap. The whole system will pardon my pun, be a scrap heap. We have entered deep doodoo phase.
Excellent point, but I know a lot of Poles who voted Obama.
Isn’t it ironic that adults, who don’t believe in magic, believe in “something for nothing” when spoken from a politicians mouth.
A politicians mouth no less.
Thanks for the addition.
How many who had lived IN Poland from 1945 through 1995?
I thought those people were quite petty. This was written in Russian for Russians. We got the translated copy. Grammar is usually poor in such articles due to linguistic differences. It was probably translated by babelfish and some poor russian intern who knew “some” english.
I thought the essence of it shone through quite well.
Oh, not only the essence shone well, but all or most of the details, like exposing the inconvenient truth that homosexuality is considered a virtue by what passes for the official culture here. The man hit the target, as do many foreign commentators do these days.
Boy, talk about nipicking.
Sure would be nice to get the full story behind the Writer,,,
That communism is bullsh(t.
Liberals have mental problems. They are very neurotic and believe the government is supposed to be the loving and fair parent of their narcissistic fantasies.
We are so hosed...
I'm as impressed with the "spellers" of the world as I am with the people who can add long strings of numbers in their heads.
There might have been a time when it was awe inspiring, but today - with spell checkers and calculators - it's parlor game stuff.
A man who can put worthwhile thoughts down - or the man who can tell me a truth with numbers - is the one I respect.
That rote stuff is for children in classrooms with big pictures on the wall...
The man who wrote this put some thought into it. If he can spell in English or Russian or whatever doesn't matter. I read for content - not to correct spelling errors. Most here got over the spelling bee mentality in junior high...
