Western Elites and the Marxist Nomenklatura

As billionaire techies and political elites have taken over the United States, dictating how the government operates and how Americans live from now on, while the Constitution is just an old document sitting in the National Archives, it is worth comparing these American elites to the Marxist nomenklatura in the Soviet satellites of the twentieth century to understand the size and scope of the Marxist control now in the former land of the free because of the brave.

What was and still is the nomenklatura in the former and current socialist countries ruled by the communist party?

The nomenklatura was the elite beholden to Marxist ideology and tyrannical rule, as Pacepa described it, a “social superstructure recognizable by its privileges.” And he was not talking about the leftist construct of “white privilege.” This was a privilege that indicated a person’s connection to the communist party and the status derived from this relationship, a status that nobody else could attain or hold.

The nomenklatura members did not travel by ordinary means of conveyance – buses, trains, and street cars were for the unwashed proletariat. They used expensive and free government cars bought and paid for by the people’s money. Techies have their own wealth which they flaunt when they travel by private planes, yachts, and limousines while thy tell the rest of us to drive small cars to save the planet from global warming.

The color and make of the car indicated the owner’s status in the Marxist hierarchy – the more expensive cars and darker colors indicated the higher positions. Techies travel by yachts and most expensive cars or fly into space.

Nomenklatura members did not live in 400 ft. apartments constructed from reinforced concrete, they lived in fashionable villas or luxury apartments nationalized (confiscated) from the bourgeoisie or built with proletariat labor and money collected from the proletariat’s dues. Techies and political elites live in mansions surrounded by tall fences and body guards.

The communist nomenklatura did not stand in endless lines each day to get whatever food and necessities were for sale, they shopped in their own elite stores. American elites shop in expensive stores by appointment only or associates bring merchandise to their multi-million-dollar mansions so they can try things on away from the unwashed masses. Food is catered to their mansions and full-time cooks prepare their meals.

Nomenklatura people did not eat in restaurants with normal people, fighting for a table, they had their own restaurants/clubs that catered only to them. Billionaires have their own restaurants and special rooms where they are served by agreeable waiters who jump at their every whim.

Nomenklatura members never visited crowded and dirty beaches of the proletariat, they had their own villas built or stolen/nationalized from the bourgeoisie, villas located by fashionable lakes, rivers, or the sea front, and guarded by security police. High fences separated their luxurious lifestyle from the prying eyes of the proletariat.

American billionaire elite and wealthy politicians hide behind mansions with tall fences decked with the latest electronic surveillance cameras while they tell ordinary and hard-working Americans that the country does not need border fences, it is un-American to build such fences to protect our country’s citizens.

Nomenklatura members did not spend their vacations packed like sardines in run-down Soviet style motels, they were chauffeured to their own vacation homes by the sea side.

American billionaires spend their vacations on private islands in tropical locales, where the daily rent is an entire year’s salary for a middle-class American. They fly in their private jets or float on luxurious mega-yachts with a full staff taking care of their every need around the clock.

When members of the nomenklatura got sick, they went to private hospitals supplied with the best and latest equipment and staffed by the best doctors money could buy. Treatment was free and no janitor or doorman yelled at them for not paying bribes. And they did not have to be housed two to a bed in filthy socialist wards.

Billionaires go to the best clinics in the world, successful clinics and hospitals staffed by famous doctors thanks to free market competition. Even foreign billionaires travel to the United States for stellar health care unlike any other in the world.

The one person, who knew the life of the nomenklatura and lived it, while helping oppress millions of proletarians, was Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa. He eventually defected to the U.S., the highest defector to the west from the elite life of communists, who ruled Romania’s proletariat with an iron fist and a military boot on their necks for decades, before they were thrown out of power in 1989.

Pacepa was so hated by the dictator for having defected that he put a price on his head and his face on official photographs with the dear leader was completely erased. He spent the rest of his natural life in hiding in the west. He wrote books detailing the abuse, the corruption, and criminality of the nomenklatura and its dear leader.

The sad reality is that history does repeat itself. The formerly free western citizens are obliviously obedient and happy with their faces covered by masks and vaccinated, praising, and cheering the socialists around them, just like the proletariat was obedient to the nomenklatura in the twentieth century. Their survival depended on blind obedience.
