Things will change when sufficient blood is spilled.

This constant references to fascism here on FR drives me crazy! Osama Obama and his disciples aren't fascists. They're Maoists! The fascists were damn amateurs compared to the Maoists.

Call them what they are...MAOISTS!

Those who doubt me should study the Red Guards. I know that many Freepers are too young to remember the Red Guards and,as a result, they should crack the books.There's plenty of stuff out there on them...none of which has ever been featured in the Amazon Compost or on MSLSD!

The frog is enjoying the warm water and is totally unaware of what is happening.

It is checkmate for the republic.

Actually, Obama himself, in one of his multitude of 'autobiographies,' said he is a Marxist. There are numerous flavors of Marxism. Maoism is just one.

Maoist is not quite appropriate either.

Maoists do not allow the private ownership of the means of production.

There are many similarities, of course.

The founders told us in the Constitution not to let the children of foreigners into the Oval Office.

Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they are born here of citizen parents and have only ONE nationality.

Obama was born with three and added Indonesian along the way.

Mao, the unknown story, by Jung Chang is an authoritative bio. Those unfamiliar with the horror should read it.

I lived in Thailand during the cultural revolution have you been to Hong Kong several times and up to the border of red China and had a very good teacher in school who was an expert on China so with what was happening in China during the mid-sixties. we were really getting first-hand information living in Thailand & it was kind of scary being that age and being that close to Red China, Mao’s China.

Yes,that's true. But if you consider what's been happening in Portland for the last nine months (and as recently as the other night) and compare it to the Red Guards you'll see that there are no differences worth mentioning.

I'm sure I needn't remind anyone of all the prominent Rat Party hacks (including Heels Up herself) who've openly,and clearly,expressed support for the "mainly peaceful" riots in many American cities.

Just sayin'...

Both are good arguments. The end result is tyranny. So we are screwed either way.

CCP has actually shifted to fascism with a tightly controlled private sector.

“ CCP has actually shifted to fascism with a tightly controlled private sector.”

Exactly.

Xi figured out what pre-WW2 Italy and Germany figured out. Classical Marxism can put you in power but is economically unsustainable. Fascism, where private industry is permitted as long as it benefits the State, works much better...for a time.

And when it stops working expansion is the only answer. Taiwan is the new Poland.

The Dems are following the Mussolini model.

DC has long been akin to the mafia. Corporations and rich folks have to pay extortion money to stay safe. Hillary was a master at this. She would criticize an industry in a threatening way until they paid up, then she would shut up.

Have you ever watched this movie To Live?

It was recommended to me by a co-worker that moved here from China. He said it is a very accurate portrayal of Mao's cultural revolution and is banned in China.

Neither has its kissing cousin, Socialism. But, because of our Educational System, Socialism is getting new advocates daily as the theory of Socialism is relentlessly pounded into their soft skulls.

And Mussolini began his political career as a Marxist.
