Totalitarian leftist state: Lapses back into an opium dream of Marxists sitting around a kitchen table and debating whom to shoot first.
Its inconceivable that the New York Times or any paper would run a glowing piece titled, When Nazis Inspired Americans. No fond recollections from participants in the Madison Square Garden rally. No fond memories of Bund camps. No sugar-coated recollections of how the Thousand Year Reich would create a better world only to then learn that Hitler wasnt a very nice man.
But the New York Times will run When Communism Inspired Americans. It will run it because while Communism didnt inspire Americans, it did inspire the left to try and turn America into a totalitarian state. It still does. This is the dirty little secret that leaks out of the left.

Amen, 199th Light Infantry weren’t called ‘Redcatchers’ for kicks, and I agree with your sentiment.
The movie Reds is one of these lapses into commie nostalgia. While it occasionally mentions some problems the movie is essentially a love letter to the American left and how they reacted to the bolshevik revolution.
"The sum of the values in circulation can clearly not be augmented by any change in their distribution, any more than the quantity of the precious metals in a country by a Jew selling a Queen Anne's farthing for a guinea."

The hippies of the ‘60s were sure inspired. I remember some starting communes to “live the good life” - fell apart quickly because they discovered that too many lazy deadbeat leeches made it untenable for the rest....
It inspired them so much that they had to change the moniker Communist because they were actually hated so much to what they are now known as Progressives
Yep. And this is what is behind the farce of climate change, agenda 21, and rewilding.
Labor Day is not a celebration of Joe Sixpack's work ethic. It's an homage to Communism.
Labor Day is the only "holiday" on which I do not fly the flag.
I'd like to see President Trump change the name of Labor Day to Free Enterprise Day.
THAT should cause mass aneurisms.
