Few Americans have heard of William Z. Foster and Gus Hall, former leaders of the Communist Party U.S.A. William Z. Foster had died in Moscow on September 1, 1961, having devoted most of his adult life to the communist Russians. Foster had gone to the Soviet Union in 1961 to seek medical care because, he said, he could not afford it in the U.S. When he died, the Soviets gave him a huge memorial service in the Red Square and offered to bury him in Kremlin’s walls. Instead, his ashes were brought to a cemetery outside Chicago.
Gus Hall dedicated
his entire life to the communist movement as well, and, having participated in
riots all over the country. As a young man, he testified his willingness to
take up arms against constitutional authorities.
The two
Americans were classical examples of useful idiots, utilized by Soviets
to further their communist agenda. Their devotion to the cause of communism
exemplifies that fact that communists, since they took power in 1917, have
built a veritable “empire” around the world based on intense propaganda. By
1961 there were 40 million members in 87 communist parties spread around the
globe.
To people
like me, who have escaped the clutches of the Communist Party and its dictatorship,
it is shocking that American citizens would want to join a movement that
promises to destroy their way of life permanently. Voters can choose communism
at the ballot box, but they must fight their way out of it if they want to
escape its tyrannical boots.
For naïve and
ignorant “woke” Americans, it seems that the promise of free “stuff” is enough for
them to repudiate capitalism and to embrace the illusory promise of a cure for their
financial problems and other problems of the world. What are the attractions of
communism that convince these Americans to demand the replacing of capitalism
with socialism/communism?
1. Economic attraction:
People who
are desperate economically, i.e., have lost jobs, savings, are in severe debt, lost
their homes, are hungry because food is so expensive, will accept desperate
measures to resolve their problems. They truly believe that socialism/communism
will solve all their problems and they would be able to start a new life, a
much happier and healthier one, with a clean slate.
What they do
not realize is that, even under communism, there are haves and have nots, there
is no equality, nor “equity.” If you don’t work, you don’t eat, and you have to
work where you are told. You will get a miserly and spartan apartment with no
furnishings. Food will be basic and hard to find. Savings and loans will not
exist, healthcare will be sparse and inadequate, basic necessities missing in
the stores. Electricity, heat, and water will be rationed along with food. A
centralized and controlled economy under communism will not yield any
prosperity for the masses, only for the people at the top who control it all.
2. Sociological attraction:
Americans
who have experienced various forms of social injustice or prejudice are strong
candidates for communism. Some Americans are frustrated with existing
conditions which they find unfair and want to eliminate all injustices.
Frustrated with the democratic process, these adherents to communism believe
that only communism can fix all injustices.
The
communist propaganda portrays communism as “the champion of social protest, the
only force striving to improve the conditions of the oppressed.” This is a
total lie. There is no place to redress injustice under communism because the
entire system is rigged by and sustained for the success of the elites at the
top of the Communist Party.
3. Political attraction:
Communist
propaganda promises the simplicity of one party that runs everything and
delivers paradise. The propaganda highlights the success of the former Soviet
Union, economically, industrially, scientifically, educationally, and technologically,
but hide the huge human cost to achieve this communist political order – all the
human suffering, gulags, and deaths at the hands of the Communist Party, the
only political entity allowed to exist.
4. Psychological attraction:
Highly
insecure and inadequate Americans in their personal lives are attracted to
communism because they don’t have to be burdened by any responsibility for
their bad decisions and terrible actions. They are happy to let communist party
leaders make decisions for all individuals. Some even give up their prior religious
beliefs and take up atheism as a poor replacement.
The party
offers endless activities of propaganda, pulling them more and more into the
communist movement and forcing them to abandon any outside interests. The party
becomes their whole lives. Educating and guiding the masses into submission
becomes an all-consuming activity for “selfless dedication and self-sacrifice.”
Soviets were
exceptionally good at drawing in the under-developed world because lives were
governed by ignorance and poverty. The communist social activists helped locals
improve their diets, prevent disease through simple hygienic measures, their living
conditions, helped them build roads, railroads, and provided them with
education and technical training. Many less developed countries became
communist easily and permanently even though their citizen’s lives are rotten
and desperate to this day. The communist propaganda is so strong that citizens
continue to vote their way into communist-delivered poverty, crime, and misery.
Communist
activists cleverly exploited nationalism to their advantage in less developed
nations. They disguised themselves as the supporters of the “right of all
nations to their complete independence.”
The Soviets and
the Chinese offered them trade agreements, technical aid, economic aid, military
aid, and university scholarships at the most prestigious universities. The communists worked very hard to undermine
non-communist governments in these developing countries and held back the
modernization process.
The "woke”
Americans in this country are the dedicated fools who believe that socialism
and communism are the ways to secure their futures. They may understand that
socialism is communism light or may not understand at all what they are asking
for.
The “woke” want
to live like the “socialist” Nordic countries that seem to be paradise
transported on bicycles. What they don’t understand is that those Nordic
countries are not socialist, they are capitalist nations with free enterprise, and
a government that strongly favors national welfare for its citizens and taxes
them to death to pay for these welfare programs.
