Bo sent me a link to a great American Thinker article entitled, “Why Obama's Communist Connections Are Not Headlines.” Bo writes that this article is about “Lessons of communism and the Left's anti-anti-communism!” This article identifies the insidious, systematic and the deliberate purging. ignoring and hiding of the truth about communist. It also points out how college professors have a revulsion to anti-communist folk, who desire to declare the truth about communism. Throughout our entire education system children of all ages for decades have been deprived of the clear truth about the dangers and destructive nature of communism.
Communism is real and horrible inept when fully implemented. It’s a failed system. Yet, the 60s radicals and their protégés like the would-be preeminently unqualified Presidential candidate Barack Obama seek to force this system an a deceived and unsuspecting electorate. The movie star, rock star celebrity of the persona is got a number of uneducated (in the truth about communism) young people fooled.
Here are a few choice excerpts from the article mentioned above. I hope that it will wet your appetite sufficiently to cause you to carefully read the entire article.
". . . History and truth about communism is not taught by our educators. . .
". . . It is not so much that these professors approve of communism as much as they disapprove of -- actually, utterly despise -- anti-communism. They are anti-anti-communist more so than pro-communist . . ."
The following is a key summary of the essence of what is missing in our educational system across the board.
“. . . What’s more, aside from failing to instruct their students in the crass facts about communism's unprecedented destruction -- its purges, mass famines, show trials, killing fields, concentration camps -- these educators are negligent in failing to teach the essential, non-emotional, but crucial Econ 101 basics that contrast capitalism and communism and, thus, that get at the heart of how and why command economies simply do not work. Each semester in my Comparative Politics course at Grove City College, it takes no more than 50 minutes to matter-of-factly lay out the rudimentary differences. Whereas capitalist systems are based on the market forces of supply and demand, which dictate prices and production levels and targets, communist systems are based on central planning, by which a government bureau attempts to manage such things. Capitalism is based on private ownership; communism on public ownership. Capitalism thrives on small government and taxes; communism on large government and taxes, typically progressive income-tax rates and estate taxes -- both advocated explicitly by Marx -- and much more.
". . . It is a remarkably hateful system, based on literal hatred and targeted annihilation of entire classes and groups of people.
(Nazism sought genocide based on ethnicity; communism sought genocide based on class.) . . .
". . . Moderates especially need to be informed that Barack Obama is not your typical liberal: he is the most hard-left Democrat that his party has ever nominated for the presidency. . ."
