Understanding Communism — Or Not
GOP Senate candidate from Michigan John James says, “America is at a crossroads—Freedom or Communism? Send John James to defeat Communism by donating $5 or $10 at the link below!”
He believes, and he’s probably correct, that folks who would make a donation have no idea what “communism” means.
Until the Cold War ended with the USSR post WW II, most Americans were afraid of government ownership of factories and farms, central economic planning, abolition of inheritance and real estate, collectivization, and the silencing of dissenting views.
We live among gullible morons who think that Biden is leading America into this dystopia.
If there is a recurring theme to the politically-focused posts here at 2GreenEnergy, it could be summed up as “how far we’ve fallen.”
Ever since I was a boy I’ve been coming across theories to the effect that humankind finds itself at the end of a cycle that starts with the development of rudimentary technology, then radio (speed of light) communications, followed by nuclear weapons, a few decades of exploration that fails to locate any alien civilizations, followed by nuclear annihilation.
This guy makes a good point.
To people of conscience, this seems like the ultimate in noncontroversial statements.
It’s safe to say that on the face of the Earth today, every single “advanced” culture, i.e., the nations that constitute the developed world, are focused on short-term results at the expense of a long-term, sustainable society. Of course, some countries make better attempts than others in preserving the natural world so that future generations may have a chance to enjoy their lives. Credit needs to be given to the Scandinavian nations and places like Iceland and New Zealand.
Things are divisive in U.S. politics, but they haven’t come to the point that progressives wear shirts like this, if only for the concern about welcoming bodily damage.
There is no doubt this is true, but that doesn’t make this stupidity and effrontery any easier to watch here in 2022.
There was a pop song about 30 years ago that began, “I believe the children are our future,” which I found amusing. I wish I could have interviewed the lyricist and asked him if his initial idea was that old people were our future, but then discarded the notion when he realized that they’re going to be dead soon. 
The signs of ignorance and oppression are everywhere in American society.
