This is
evident if one talks to the survivors of communism and their children who have
been indoctrinated. These people reminisce longingly about communist tyranny.
They want their tyrants back. And so do the young indoctrinated by George Soros’
education manuals printed after 1989 and who attended western colleges on
George Soros scholarships.
The Communist
Party members worshipped Ceausescu and his wife because they had a better life
than the rest. In exchange for their evil souls and the promise to shoot,
torture, and imprison anyone who objected to Ceausescu’s tyrannical rule, these
boot lickers lived much better lives and were able to travel abroad.
A distant relative told me in 2015 that she wished Ceausescu could
come back. Why, I asked. Her answer surprised me. “We all had a job, we did not
make much money, but we did not have to try very hard or work every day. He allowed
us to take weeks off from work if we turned in a fake excuse from a bribed
doctor. Now we must work hard.”
Same
communist mantra I’ve heard before, “we pretend to work and they pretend to pay
us.” Once you get used to oppression and lose hope for a better life, you
become a lethargic human satisfied with scraps. There is nothing to look forward to, but you
are still alive.
Solzhenitsyn
wrote about the Soviet prison industry, about the guards who arrived there via
military conscription, and about the prisoners sent there after they were
arrested for thought crimes, hate crimes, telling off-color jokes or any joke
about the oppression of the Communist Party, printing a political leaflet,
typing essays against Bolshevism, hiding one’s wealth, having a large house,
refusing to give it to the police state, refusing to give up farmlands and farm
implements to the state, having unapproved items in homes, reading forbidden literature,
stealing food to survive, bribing the wrong person, having a nicer home, nicer
furniture, a typewriter, etc. These prisoners were forever canceled by the
Soviet style cancel culture and likely never survived the horrible hard labor
gulags.
Those
arrested were taken in their pajamas and barefoot because they “didn’t need
anything where they were going.” The hard labor prisons needed workers driven
daily to the point of exhaustion with little nutrition. Solzhenitsyn wrote that
when the family received the note that their loved one was “deprived of the
right to correspond” meant that he “had been shot.”
Being the
cruel humans that they were, security police officers chose different methods
of arresting someone. Taking them in the middle of the night had the advantage
of fear, people were sleeping, and officers could steal valuables without
having to make a truthful inventory of possessions confiscated which afterwards
were given as gifts to those faithful to the State.
The worst
arrests were political arrests because people were usually guilty of nothing
and had no prepared resistance during the arrest. And the neighbors had to see
it all to instill fear in the public. As if people were not afraid enough of
the well-armed communist Securitate who dwelled in the tunnels underneath
Bucharest like the moles that they were. They had food, clothes, weapons, and
anything their hearts desired in those tunnels. And, upon orders, they emerged
suddenly from museums, art galleries, opera houses, theaters, and cinemas, all
connected to miles of tunnels.
In this
country, for the last six years, the leftist wing of politics unleashed cancel
culture on the rest of the country if leftists were offended by or disliked
what the other side did or said. Cancel culture took an exact page from the conduct
of the Soviet Communist Party which controlled the other communist countries in
Eastern Europe.
How is the cancel
culture movement identical to what the communists did?
The Soviet
style communists kept dossiers on every citizen in their countries. To keep
tabs on everyone, a huge army of spies and informers had to be employed by the Communist
Party. For example, one in three people in Romania worked for the dreaded
Securitate police.
These
folders were used to cancel people - those who needed to be disappeared,
imprisoned, shot, made an example of, their lives and the lives of their loved
ones ruined forever.
If their
great-grandfather was a landowner, that was a black mark in a person’s file.
That individual would never be recommended for any promotions, vacations,
travel, awards, college admissions, or better jobs. They were permanently
canceled.
People in
the U.S. were canceled and lost their jobs, their professional chairs,
their medical licenses, hospital privileges to operate, their social media
accounts, their platforms, their roles in movies, they were banned from any
public discourse, mass media, television, if they talked about masks not being
effective against the Covid virus, if they refused to vaccinate or wear a mask,
if they questioned the 2020 elections, etc.
Americans on
the left, terrified for their lives, listening to their Dr. Fauci vaccine czar,
were wearing masks alone in cars, went nuts in public, yelling at people to
stay far away from them, and even got lost in thorny bushes in the woods trying
to avoid crossing paths on the trail with an incoming person without a mask.
Cancel
culture drove the
mass hysteria against their citizens on the opposite side of politics, against their
own families, against all those who disagreed with them.
Cancel
culture drove the
crazy mobs that destroyed statues and symbols of our history because they
disagreed with it. They wanted to manufacture their own version of history,
just like the communists did to their own people.
Beware that
cancel culture is a serious hard left movement that is identical to the
Soviet style communist control of the masses which failed painfully and
disastrously everywhere it has been tried in the twentieth century.
