H.L. Mencken Club Distinguished Speaker Series:
Srdja Trifkovic on Western Postmodernia vs. "Real Socialism"
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Both videos combined are about 20 minutes total.
I have to wait until I get home to view these videos... needless to say, I think the videos will confirm my uneasy fear that the American left has been working out the kinks in Stalinism and Maoism and creating new kind of tyranny which is new and improved. God help us.
Uh...”liberals” are Communists. More accurately, communism, socialism, facism, nazism, and social Democrats (liberals) are all derivatives of Marxism.
Very well put. Thanks.
Exactly, and, end game ALWAYS is genocide of millions of humans that socialism can't afford to provide for.

I think that it is one thing for an American to simply say this based on scholarly opinion, and another for someone who lived through communism in Eastern Europe then emigrated to the US to say, "Here are the similarities and the differences in implementation".

Liberals are really no different than the totalitarian Marxists of yore.
We have already been completely infiltrated, but, instead of taking over our institutions through violence and a secret police, we are being controlled through the public education system, the media and the bureaucracy.
Just imagine where we would be if Americans weren’t armed to the teeth and there was no internet.
And look what happened right after the attempt on Gabrille Giffords life, the first thing the liberals did was put the blame on conservatives using the full force of the liberal media, they want to squash dissent unrelated to the attempted murder, they are pushing for an off switch on the internet, and now there is a new attempt for more gun control laws for law-abiding citizens.

Yes, cultural Marxism has been instituted in the schools in the US since as early as John Dewey with Dr. Rugg and Dr. Counts to redesign the minds of children (to the atheist/Marxist paradigm from the Christian paradigm) and now this cultural Marxism is continued being funded by George Soros. Ha...who would have guessed!
It is interesting how they have to destroy the Classical canon in Yugoslavia so they can institute all this feminism/homosexual/perversions of nature to deconstruct the family and kill religion and reform humanity in their ugly distorted vision. All about brainwashing/conditioning children through media and schools. Mass propaganda. And Hillary Clinton cheers these designers on!!!! She is sooo creepy.
They are creating an ugly, ugly society of animalistic behavior guided by instinct and State. No God allowed. Bible will be considered “hate speech”. Going to get very ugly, if we don’t get government and Soros out of our education system. All brainwashed/conditioned teachers will have to be kept from the forming minds of our children.
As was wisely said long ago, “Communists are Liberals in a hurry.”
The difference between Eastern European societies and ours is the dominance of the liberal media. That’s how Marxian ideology has penetrated two layers deeper here than in Serbia, et al. Even though they lived under Soviet-style despotism, the apparatus for brainwashing was primitive compared to our MSM.
Srdja Trifkovic ping, love this guy.
Actually, that is part of it, but I am not sure that this was completely it.
I think that it may have been more that under communism they expected to be fed propaganda from their media -- and they regarded our Western media as "free" (Radio Free Europe) when they could get access to it.
We on the other hand have lived under the expectation that our media and educational system was "free, fair and balanced" for so many years that we never developed the defenses that those living under communism had -- until perhaps now. Further, where do we go to get our equivalent of "Radio free Europe"? Nowhere -- the internet -- some of which is so polarizing and out there, no one knows what to believe. I don't even trust Fox much more than I trust MSNBC, because everyone's got an angle and ownership by a Saudi prince doesn't exactly make me feel comfy & relaxed.
Yes, I appreciate your point. Yet, by definition, “derivatives” implies several different implementations. In Marxist-derived regeims, sometimes the hand of government is “soft” and sometimes brutal. But always government involves itself in almost all aspects of human existence.
I think that we are in complete agreement.
Study my native country Argentina from 5th wealthiest in the world in 1900 to 87th place today. The oligarchy is just as rich and powerful. The people are not. They financed the left to get rid of their competition, the middle and entrepreneurial classes.
The model is there, it is being implemented here as we speak. There is nothing new under the sun.
Ping for later viewing.
I’m getting ready to celebrate (on Sunday) the Feast of St. Sava—who prayed me into Orthodoxy! So no politics for a while.
