Events were not supposed to have turned out this way: Stalin is making a comeback in Russia, the Chinese Communist Party controls capitalism in China, Venezuela — once a friend of the United States — is now a neo-Marxist state, and Latin America itself is dominated by communist or far left regimes. When the Berlin Wall was destroyed by jubilant West Berlin youth, the nightmare was believed to be over. The communist true believers, however, are again a threat to humanity — even within the U.S. government.
It is a story gets little coverage in the centralized media.
Instead of withering away, there are now neo-Marxist regimes in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, as well as Cuba. Even the Daniel Ortega, the old communist Sandinista leader — and one-time nemesis of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan — has returned to power in Nicaragua. The governments of Brazil. Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina, as well as guerrilla armies in Colombia and Peru, are in sympathy with the Chavez and his "21st century socialism."
The executive branch of the United States government has exposed its vulnerability to post-Soviet Marxism in the hiring of Mark Lloyd, the recently resigned Van Jones, and others who share the same "Chavista" politics. Several members of the U.S. Congress express similar admiration for Castro and communist Cuba. Many wonder to what extent "former" radical Bill Ayers has influenced U.S. president Barack Obama.
While the news media ignores the rise of communism in Latin America, Hollywood celebrities swoon over the Castro brothers and Chavez. Filmmaker Oliver Stone has produced a "documentary" which praises neo-communist dictator Hugo Chavez — at the same time anti-Chavez demonstrations were being held around the world. Pro-democracy demonstrations have not dissuaded leftist producer Michael Moore from calling for the end to capitalism in his just- released film.
No one predicted these developments.
When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, most "experts" and private citizens considered this as proof of the moral and economic bankruptcy of Marxism which had killed some 100 million human beings. The Soviet Union, the evil empire, did not so much fall as disappear on December 25, 1991, when all the members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, including Russia, seceded, leaving Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev with nothing to govern.
What had began with Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks, and the Russian Revolution in 1917, now seemed to end forever with the events of 1989 to 1991.
But not everywhere. China remained under the iron grip of the Chinese Communist Party, as did Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba. The collapse of the Soviet Union meant that surviving communist states would soon adapt to triumphant capitalism — at least that was the common assumption.
Communists around the world, however, saw things differently. Some believed that the Soviet Union had lost its true communist orientation. Cuban leader Fidel Castro indicated that the fall of the Soviet Union was attributed to political miscalculation. China searched for "socialism with Chinese characteristics."
The conventional wisdom in the U.S. firmly believed that the evolution from communism to capitalism throughout the world was only a matter of time, and that the only place one could find committed communists was on the teaching staff of various American colleges and universities. The real situation was quite different. Marxist true believers were, in reality, reorganizing and preparing for bold counter-moves.
By 1999, the tide had begun to turn. Boris Yeltsin, who had continued Moscow's sophisticated espionage war against the U.S. and its allies, handed power to "ex"-KGB spymaster, Vladimir Putin. Today, Russia is an authoritarian state with a strong scent of revolutionary red .
Since the mid-1990s, Moscow has also played a key role in China's stunning military buildup, which threatens to become a major problem for the U.S. Navy in the Pacific region.
Former Venezuelan paratrooper Hugo Chavez became the president of Venezuela. The people of Venezuela elected a reformer, but soon found that they had a Marxist revolutionary. Similar tactics were used to install communist governments in Ecuador and Bolivia. There also several Marxist guerrilla armies operating in Latin America which support themselves with the processing and sale of illicit drugs.
The Marxist true believers have returned for Cold War II, and are determined to inflict an unworkable system on an unsuspecting world. Despite their claims for a new and better Marxism, they still employ the familiar tactics of physical intimidation, blackmail, prison, death, and, of course, lies — from China to Latin America to Washington D.C.
We can defeat communism — again — but first we must acknowledge that Marxism has returned as a global plague and understand how this lamentable situation came to be.
0bama knows these nations are feeling leaderless; his task is to assume that mantle.
Well, from other threads they are getting a flag flown across from the White House.
Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and others were saddened to see the Soviet Union collapse.
btt
And Bill O’Reilly stated last night the communism is dead in the United States. Wonderful! The White House is full of these guys and what does our government do about it? Nothing. As a matter of fact the Senate is voting on one of these guys right now and he’ll probably get in. He just got it. He’s in.
Wrong - many did. Miroslav Dolejsi wrote about it from Czechoslovakia in 1991.
Russian staged false collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe
Marxism is our nation’s **most** urgent and serious threat. Schools ( especially government K-12 schools) are the Marxists’ **most** powerful weapon. There is a reason Bill Ayers became a professor of education.
Yet...Few conservatives seem to understand that Marxism is an enemy. They seem instead to be focused on the congressional bill of the day. ( Rush is like this.) And...Few conservatives understand how our government schools are teaching communism every day. They just don’t call it by name. It is also shocking to me how many conservatives send their children to the government schools.
Yuri Bezemov ( the former KGB spy) plainly and clearly predicted these developments:
Several initiatives were set into motion by the Soviets waaaay back when Stalin was in power. Self-funding anti-West operations of education, law and mental health were sent into the US by means of bringing US traitors over to Russia and training them to suborn the west using the west’s dollars. The KGB never had to spend more than seed money and since then your tax dollars have been funding destructive public education, communists lawyers, drug pushing psychiatrists and psychologists (who are the inventors of most of the crazy ideas that have done so much damage to society like, LSD, ECT, Lobotomies, ADHD, Repressed Memory Syndrome, Satanic Cult Abuse, open marriage, elimination of concepts of right and wrong, no more flunking of students... the list of the evils foisted by shrinks would fill the Library of Congress).
After the USSR fell it didn’t matter because the West had been paying for its own demise already and a new generation of trained America-hating useful idiots were being ground out by the colleges. 40% of the Rat party are card carrying radical leftists now. So much so that the American Communist Party stopped running presidential candidates.

Its biggest weapons by far have been education-as-indoctrination, political correctness and environmental activism. American kids have been force-fed this junk and it seems there's no end in sight. All the warnings from those who saw that the "collapse" of the USSR was merely a ruse to lull us to sleep have been ignored. Many even here still ignore them.
There have been several Soviet defectors who claimed that the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War were faked, so that Communism could come back stronger than ever when the West dropped its guard.
In some cosmic sense, there may be some truth in this, but if you had control of the world's largest country, half of Europe and all those dachas, would you really give up all of it for the remote chance than some other, later Communist would best the West?
It's a little like arguing that the Romanov's had themselves killed to eventually bring Russian power into Central Europe.
But, remember that the current leaders of Russia and the Soviet Sphere are, in fact, diehard Communists and leaders of the Secret Police there.
I think that's a very positive take on the strength of the Soviet Union. I believe, rather, that it was facing economic collapse from all front - that it simply could not keep up with the continual development of the West. But I also believe such a scenario was inevitable. A communist infrastructure has two options for economic fuel - burn up internal reserves, and trade with external capitalists. That's the whole problem of the collective system, they can't sustain themselves from within.
So yes, I do believe that before collapse actually hit, it was staged to create an expansion/regrouping phenomenon, which is now being grown around the world, as well as back in Russia.
Communism is alive and well and breathing its malignant breath in the United States, just to mention one place.
International and domestic communists have an entire cheering team operating out of the White House, along with the radical Dems's & sellout RINOS on Capitol Hill.
