My Sicilian-born friend told me years ago how Communists
gain power. He said they focus on the have-nots in a society. My question to
him was what happens when and if “have-nots” become “haves?”
Observing the Left over the years, I have come to the
conclusion that when they become “haves”, they disguise that “inconvenient truth”
very well. It’s the old “look over there”
trick to keep your inquiring mind and subsequent attention away from them. To be seen as anything other than a “have not” betrays their “lying eyes.”
I am not narrow-minded enough to realize that there has
been, and continues to be, a need to recognize injustice in the world and
attempt to correct it. But to steal from those who have rightfully labored to
achieve some level of “upward mobility” in the United States of America is unjust
in itself.
Those pinheads who believe in “full communism” haven’t read
an iota of history. They may have read of our “My Lai Massacre” in Vietnam but
never heard a word about the communist atrocities there that killed villages of
women and children. Nor have they heard about what Russia did to the people in Ukraine,
the people of Poland at Katyn or the women of Berlin during WWII.
May I recommend to them Ayn Rand’s We the Living? It reads as a novel but it is her personal
experience of communist Russia.
Is there a changing face of communism? You betcha. “Pay no attention to the man behind the
curtain.”
