PROOF THAT DEMOCRATS = SOCIALISM / COMMUNISM
Jaysun | 12/11/03 | Jaysun

Posted on 12/11/2003 4:27:09 AM PST by Jaysun

I took some time to examine the stance taken by the Democratic Party on a variety of issues in comparison to the stance taken by the Socialist Party USA. I was looking for a confirmation to what most of us already believe - what I found sent chills down my spine. I’ve listed the issues separately below so as to avoid being monotonous to those who may only be interested in select issues. The direct link to each individual statement is also provided. Also note the Communist Party USA goals at the end of this article.

ABORTION - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party recognizes that a struggle against habitual male dominance and patriarchy must go hand in hand with any struggle against capitalism. Therefore, we pledge our opposition to all forms of sexism, and demand equality for women in all aspects of life. We support the rights of all women to birth control information and supplies, and to all reproductive health services -- including abortion. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20021116-roevwade.html

ANTI-WAR (Iraq) - Socialist Party USA They cynically expect that you will put your morals aside and let war crimes be committed in your name. They think you're scared and ignorant enough to go along with anti-Arab racism. They think you can be hoodwinked into giving up your Constitutional rights for the illusion of security. Prove them wrong. Join us in resisting the war. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20020921-iraq.html

ANTI-WAR (Afghanistan) - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party USA stands in complete outrage at the actions of the U.S. Government to bomb Kabul and other cities and towns in Afghanistan. This retribution is not and cannot be just. Instead this military aggression will only lead to more violence; endless cycles of retribution and war will again be in all our lives; innocent people will die; and we will be no better than the September 11 hijackers. Never in history has peace been obtained through war. We join socialists, anti-war and peace organizations, labor unions and all others worldwide in declaring our firm and passionate opposition to policies and actions that lead to war. The people of Afghanistan have never been, and will never be, our enemy. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20011007-afghanistan.html

DEATH PENELTY - Socialist Party USA The death penalty is wrong. It is no less wrong, now that convicted terrorist Timothy McVeigh is about to be executed. The Socialist Party USA stands against the death penalty, no matter to whom it is applied. This is not a new position. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20010417-mcveigh.html

MIDDLE EAST (against Israel) - Socialist Party USA The new wave of bloodshed in the Middle East has its starting point in Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands. The Socialist Party calls for the immediate cessation of all aid to Israel, including the sale of military equipment of any kind. U.S. aid has been used by Israel to fashion one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The U.S. government's complicity with the Israeli occupations should end now. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20001022-middleeast.html

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS - Socialist Party USA WHEREAS in the same document our party states clearly that “We defend the rights of immigrants to housing, education, health care, jobs, and civil, legal, and political rights. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20030817-iwfr.html

HEALTH CARE - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party stands for socialized medicine-- a health care system based on universal coverage, salaried doctors and health care workers, and revenues derived from a graduated income tax. http://www.votesocialist.org/platform/plat2.html

HOUSING - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party recognizes the right of all people to high quality, low cost housing. We call for large scale public investment in the construction of low cost, scattered site, community-based, high-quality housing. We call for rent control for all rental units, and the right of tenants to organize. We support the formation of housing cooperatives and nonprofit land trusts, the adoption of advanced and cost-cutting technology in building, and the rehabilitation and weatherization of existing housing. http://www.votesocialist.org/platform/plat2.html

PUBLIC EDUCATION - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party recognizes the right of students of all ages to a free, quality education in a safe and supportive environment, and of all school employees to good wages, benefits, and working conditions. We call for full and equal funding of public education, for free tuition at the post-secondary level, and for an end to all public funding and subsidizing of private schools. We call for fewer students per teacher. We call for vigorous affirmative action programs so that each public institution of higher education reflects the community at large in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and economic background. http://www.votesocialist.org/platform/plat2.html

ENVIRONMENT - Socialist Party USA The Socialist Party recognizes that the mechanisms in capitalism that oppress and alienate humans are the same mechanisms that destroy the environment. We support a policy of no clear cutting in commercial forestry, a ban on commercial cutting in old-growth forests, and an environmentally sound timber policy that takes into account the historical ecology of the region. We oppose nuclear power projects and call for the immediate decommissioning of all nuclear power plants, a ban on the export of nuclear technology, and any efforts to use nuclear technology in space. http://sp-usa.org/about/platform/environment.html

ANIMAL RIGHTS - Socialist Party USA We call for the banning of the fur trade. We support greater inclusion and enforcement of the Endangered Species Act. We call for a ban on animal experimentation for product development, and support products that are not tested on animals. We oppose factory-farming practices of over-crowding, drugging, and otherwise cruelly treating animals, practices that are inhumane and that impair the quality of the food thus produced. http://sp-usa.org/about/platform/animal-rights.html

LABOR UNIONS - Socialist Party USA We support efforts to organize all workers, particularly workers in the service industries, enlisted personnel in the Armed Forces, and the difficult to organize (including students, home workers, homeless people, prison inmates, and the unemployed). We support militant, united labor action including secondary strikes and boycotts. We support the right of first-time and part-time workers to full benefits. We call for the repeal of all repressive labor legislation such as the Hatch Act, the Taft-Hartley Act, the Landrum-Griffin Act, and all the so-called "right-to-work" laws. http://sp-usa.org/about/platform/labor.html

ECONOMICS - We oppose balancing the federal budget at the expense of funding basic human services. We call for a National Pension Authority to hold the assets of private pension funds, and a levy against corporate assets for any pension fund deficits. We call for increased unemployment compensation. We support a program of massive federal investment in both urban and rural areas for infrastructure reconstruction and economic development. We call for the elimination of subsidies and tax breaks that benefit corporations and wealthy households at the expense of working people. We support the use of any federal budget surplus on human services rather than tax cuts that will only benefit the rich. (one of my personal favorites). http://sp-usa.org/about/platform/economics.html

COMMUNIST PARTY USA. I’d like to end with some of the stated goals of the Communist Party USA. Once again, the Communist and the Democrats are virtually impossible to tell apart: *Raise the minimum wage to $12 an hour. *No privatization of Social Security. Increase benefits. *Universal health care system. *Restore social safety net. Welfare reform that includes job training, supports and living wages. *Full funding for equal, quality, bi-lingual public education. No vouchers. *Repeal tax cuts to the rich and corporations. *Strong regulation of financial industry. *Prosecute corporate polluters. Public works program to clean our air, water and land. *Aid to cities and states. Federally funded infrastructure repair and social service programs. *No to war with Iraq - End military interventions. *Cut military budget and fund human needs. *End racial profiling. *Repeal the death penalty. *Enforce civil rights laws and affirmative action. *Repeal USA Patriot Act. *Legalization and protection of immigrant’s rights. http://www.cpusa.org/article/static/511/#question29

I won’t bore you with a lot of unsolicited commentary about what I’ve just posted. However, I will say that I am literally astounded at how the Democrats mirror the Socialist on every single issue that comes to mind. This further enforces why we must eliminate the current agenda of the Democratic Party. Let us return to debating reasonable things with reasonable people - and not debating on issues that decide whether or not America and freedom will even continue to exist. Please feel free to distribute this as you wish. Thanks - Jaysun

Don't you trust the Admin Moderators to do their job? If you let them, they will come. And the lesson will be better learned.

The Democratic party of today is controlled by sixties leftists (like I once was) who are still holed up mentally within the "movement". They didn't have a clue then and don't have a clue now as to,once they dispose of the "military industrial complex", get the evil right wingers out of office, and acquire power, WHAT THEY WILL DO.

Yes, they are anti-capitalist, but as we saw when one of theirs finally DID acquire power in '92, they only tried to neuter the military and CO-OPT the capitalists(NAFTA), NOT replace them.

Pure socialists they are not, it's yet another core value they don't possess, which to me makes them even more dangerous.

I just think that it's astounding that a group of people could be so misguided about something so important. To work so hard for something (many of them do) and apparently have no real idea of what your efforts will cause or do if realized just seems insane.

I must say that the outrageous spending and increase in the size of Government has me worried. Republicans are now in control - and you'd think that it would be just the opposite. I can only hope that it's political, and will end after November '04. If not, I guess we'll have to vote for the drug friendly libertarians. ???

It's ironic isn't it?
They also believe in equality - unless you happen to be a white male. That everyone should be free to make "personal choices" - unless of course that choice involves wearing a fur coat. That people should be free to show their beliefs without the interference of others that may disagree - unless of course that belief happens to be Christianity.

COMMUNISTS' GOALS SUCCEEDING IN AMERICA

By Dennis Durband
AmeriConservative.com

Those who don't know history may become unwitting pawns of prophecy.

In 1953, conservative W. Cleon Skousen reported on 45 communist goals in his book, "The Naked Communist." Many of these chilling goals have hit their target.

Even the most hardened skeptics would have to admit, after reviewing a few of the communist goals identified by Skousen, that subversives have acted in collusion to destroy America's foundations in the past 50 years -- without black helicopters.

Skousen identified the following communist goals, among others:

  1. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."
    The mass media culture (MMC) absolutely deserves an A+ for doing the bidding of Skousen. The MMC has taken this ball and sprinted with it, forcing homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity down our cultural throats. The American people did not create a market for this; it was dictated to us by Hollywood and New York. Guided by Michael Eisner, the Disney empire works tirelessly to mainstream homo mania.
  2. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
    Not only has this happened, but we may witness the end of the church age in the not-too-distant future. So many churches, denominations, seminaries and clergy have succumbed to political correctness that within a few short years, the church may cease being the church as it once existed. A daily parade of stories chronicles churches' shift from the scripture-focused mission to a humanist-focused mission. People identifying themselves as "Christian" talk about racism, homophobia and social justice. Few Christians has no clue how Biblical applications relate to abortion. Fewer still can make arguments based on a Christian worldview.
  3. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
    The U.S. Supreme Court accomplished this with ease, starting with the Everson case in 1947. The lie of a non-existent separation of church and state has been mainstreamed to the point that well-meaning people actually believe it. The only act by Congress to separate church and state was Sen. Lyndon Johnson's bill in the 1950s which removed freedom of speech from the pulpits.
  4. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
    Rock singer Bono's recent tirade of F-laced vulgarities on prime time television brought about only a whimper from the toothless Federal Communication Commission. If Bono had used the F-word as an adjective, the FCC might have actually thought about taking punitive action. How do you think the television and movie producers and the radio personalities read that show of weakness by the FCC? It will be open season for them; they won't have to push the edge of the envelope because they can stomp on the envelope of decency.
  5. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the big picture. Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
    I don't know about an emphasis on Russian history, but we do know that the "Twentieth Century Model" swept across the nation's schools a few years ago. This model emphasizes the teaching of American history from the start of the 20th century only. The nation's Christian foundations and documents referring to the Creator are completely ignored. Today's high school students and recent graduates can't know what they haven't been taught. Many have no idea which nation the U.S. won its independence from. The rebellion against American culture has become commonplace on the cultural landscape.
  6. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
    We've already found out that normalizing homosexuality and degeneracy are among these Communist goals. And we know that the American Psychiatric Association was infiltrated by homosexuals, who wrote abnormal and amoral traits off the list of personality disorders. Radicals in the professions and academia are pushing to lower the age of sexual consent and encouraging incest and sexual exploitation of minors.
    These are just a few of the communist's aims. There were no plans for black helicopters, or red ones either. The communists have not needed them; they've have the ACLU, the media, the schools and the courts, as well as television sets and computers in your children's bedrooms.

I think leadpenny's ping to the AM and response to Jaysun should be taken as a jumpy trigger syndrome. JimRob and the AM's just put out a thread lately reiterating the problems with posting of vanities, etc. in the Breaking News category.

I think leadpenny was just trying to follow the plan, and the only problem I saw was he didn't explain the exact reason to jaysun before shooting.

Good to see you are as creative and substantive as ever, Rusty.

Likewise, I'm sure.

Keep up the good work!

Aw shucks. It's easy when you've got good material.

You're winning!

Sadly, that's not saying much, given the competition.

Well good evening there Rusty! Glad to see you are still around. Pity you are sarcasm disabled, or just pretend to be. I suspect the latter. You seem to be very adept at playing pretend.

Glad to see that nasty old Gestapo that the Patriot Act created hasn't gotten you yet! Keep fighting the good fight. Maybe you can stop them before they break down your door!

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result. But alas, you keep posting that getting the same result- not bothering me a whit and making yourself look like a complete imbecile.

Sometimes, looks aren't deceiving, either.

See you in the morning, Rusty! Sleep well- but don't let those ghosts in the night keep you up! They might get ya!

Interesting,

I was investigating links between Moveon.org and others, and they are using MBE, Mail Boxes Etc, for their main address.

The Communist Party site is a group of musicians and "accoustical technicians". Daniel Queen Associates out of New York.

Most disappointing of all is the Votesocialist.org group. I looked up their info, and their admin is someone working at SpamCop.

Still missing the connection here, but persuing.

rent controls lead to empty shut down buildings and an increase in the homeless. They tried it in NYC. People here in America do things for a profit, and rightly so!
