Communism Gaining Ground?

[Typhoon1244]

So let me get this straight: we're taking the word of one author, whose credentials are not specified, as to what the goals of international communism are?

Remember when Pat Robertson outlined the goals of feminism?

Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

That's what this appendix from the Congressional Record reminds me of.

 

[Vladimir Lenin]

Pat Robertson is an idiot and the Red Flag will soon adorn the "Bought with Oil Profits House" at 1600 Penn. Ave

This quote was a favorite around intel officers spaces about a decade ago.

"War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in thirty to forty years. To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie..will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fist."

Dimitri Manuilski, of the Lenin School of Political Warfare, 1933.

Personally, I think that communism as an integrated world power is dead but not the human frailties of greed, laziness, and envy which if left unchecked by the more noble virtues lead to totalitarian states that are begun to 'redistribute the wealth' but lead to everyone having the jackboot of oppression on their collective neck.

That's Bullsh!t Timebuilder!

TB--You know as well as I do that environmental regulation has *almost* nothing to do with the exportation of manufacturing jobs.

Minimum wage? C'mon.

Minimum wage increases may hurt the Mom and Pop outfits but please don't insult my intelligence by suggesting Nike can't afford five or six bucks an hour.

What's a pair of sneakers these days? Sixty bucks?

You know the problem with business these days? Business men don't see how they fit into society.

Days past, business men saw their activities as contributing to something other than the bottom line.

Remember the factory towns? The company family? Remember how industry used to cement the community?

Now what brings us together? TV and Film.

Hollow shadows produced only to urge our even greater consumption of more empty products.

We used to blame the disintegration of the modern family on the factory because it took the man out of the home.

Now the man and woman are out of the home and working two part-time jobs at some franchise or chain that isn't even headquartered in their home state.

This country has a serious shortage of long-term vision and leadership. This is a country that's been sold a bill of goods and led down an empty rosy path.

It's nothing but sad and has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of paranoid communist infiltration.

Either we wake up and realize who has infected the American culture or we'll continue to grow fatter, dumber and more and more deluded.

 

[Vladimir Lenin]

well, the peace movement is on, so, as predicted

next month, Kirgizstan, Moldova and Ukraine will be launching an unprecedented attack, fortified by Turkmenistan, Belorussia and eventually the Russian Federation will step in

all your base are belong to us

Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Had that been said in 1970, it would be considered a prophecy.

Instead, it is just an assessment of what feminism has done.

Check out this link and decide for yourself if the Communists are gaining ground. It is a link to a Congressional Record from 1963 designating Current Communist Goals.

Enjoy!

Link!

You guys need to get some serious Eastern Block P#$$y...if you did...all of you would be sporting Lenin stickers on your flight bag and wearing red. Have you been to these countries???...those women are increadible.

Vlad knows what I'm talking about...

Let's not forget how we drove off American manufacturing to the third world by means of mimium wage laws and the EPA.

OK ... now the gloves are coming off. You stick to radio and let the second generation, degreed Manufacturing Engineers handle the manufacturing slide to Asia. Between my father and I we've seen it all. He, at Blue Bell/Wrangler for thirty years (where offshore manufactuyring was BORN!) and me in Metal Fab, Plastics, and Electronics Assembly.

Minimum Wage and EPA laws have PHUKALL! to do with mfg going to Asia (BTW ... it's leaving Mexico, too!) chief! Manufacturing consolidated/shrunk in the early sixties as automation became more and more widespread (I have Life magazines from that time with articles on it) and in the seventies (in most industries) it started heading South where taxes and payscales were lower. In Raleigh, NC in the 80s and 90s every thrid person you met was from Ohio/NY/WV and left to come here for work. The national minimum wage was the same in WV and Ohio as it was in NC. The EPA laws were the same. But with the tax breaks and generally lower payscales (nonunion at first) greed drove them down here.

In the 80's mfrs began moving more and more stuff to Mexico/S. America due to even lower payscales, folliwing the lead of textiles like Wrongler who had been flying cloth down to PR and the Dominican in CL44s and bringing back blue jeans since the early 60s (Tradewinds Airlines was born). NAFTA accelerated the slide because it was now even CHEAPER (thanks Mr. Clinton).

Well, with Fast-track Trade agreements and GATT (back in the Republican court) it became even cheaper to do business in Asia. Cheaper than Central America. The Chinese will work 16-hour days for peanuts and be glad to get it. No tariffs ... no roadblocks ... make there ... sell it here, and sell it quickly while we can still buy Nikes because in five years we'll all be working at Ameri-Disney for minimum wage (which we will all be d@mn glad exists then ... even you perhaps).

EPA rules were sorely needed, but I know from experience that they are a pain (I've helped on compliance initiatives in the metal fab industry), to be sure. But they didn't send mfrs to Asia any more than a livable wage law did. What sent them is GREED my man.

When the last non-service job is gone (and piloting will eventually be done by cheap foreign labor too) and we are all scrambling to feed our families, remember you heard it here first ...

Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame, along with the greedy fat-cat businessmen who had them in their pockets all along.

I suspect if things don't take a better turn (and I'm not talking about just the current economic recession, but the larger problems which aren't going to get better) we could have civil war in our lifetime. What will happen when no one can feed their family except thru the grace of the 'socialist' government programs you're always harping on? Will you just keep your head down and take it? Or will you eventually get mad enough to TAKE YOUR G@DD@MN COUNTRY BACK FROM THE CRIMINALS?!!!!!!!

Bullsh!t? No.

I remember quite vividly the fights over belching smokestacks "in my backyard".

Any time you raise the cost of production, either by imposed wage levels or cost to comply with regulations, you drive production elsewhere.

All your bases belong to us.

That's flame-bait...because nobody with T.B.'s intelligence would really stand by a statement that stupid. Nice try, though!
