Socialism or Communism?

Ever asked yourself why we keep calling Democrats, socialists? Why do we call the Democrat’s political ideology socialism? Ever wonder why it seems that the words “communist and communism” do not exist anymore. Even some of the most renown conservatives, some of the most renown contributors at FOX News, which happens to be [the] most conservative news medium in the nation, seldom if ever do we hear the words communist and communism mentioned as they have been methodically and systematically replaced by, socialism, liberalism, progressives, the left, etc.

While many may look upon this seemingly trivial semantic change as inoffensive, I personally, think it is quite the opposite. In fact, I think the swift replacement of the word “communism” for “socialism” is of great concern and truly relevant to all that is going on today. I happen to think this apparently innocent permutation is indicative of one of [the] greatest successes in the Democrats’ transformation crusade started by Barack Obama. It is a sign of the successful indoctrination of a wide universe in mainstream Americans who look upon “socialism” as an ideology which they think is inherently good with great sociopolitical benefits for the less advantaged in society – this, [the] greatest fallacy ever.

For the rest of us, those that have a brain; those who are educated, and/or have those of us who have seen firsthand what communism all is about, we know that, actually, socialism and communism are interchangeable. Socialism being the preferred substitute label used to disguise and camouflage the real thing: communism. Ask me, socialism, semantically speaking, is the ideal entry-level dialect, to make communism a more palatable ideology.

So, a quick look back in history will tell you that back in the late 1940’s through the 1950’s, communism and communists were looked upon as one of [the] greatest threats to the nation. This was the time when McCarthyism was in vogue – the term [McCarthyism], referring to controversial practices and policies of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy characterized by the persecution of Left-Wing individuals and of alleged communist and socialist influences on American Institutions. It was a time when the FBI and its Head, J. Edgar Hoover, together with a majority of mainstream Americans actually abhorred communism and communists.

A time when, unlike today, the FBI used to protect us from communism as opposed to today’s FBI, which is all out to aid and abet communists. Since back then, in the 1950’s, the social unrest brought about by the Civil Rights movement, and the previous Black oppression that prevailed brought about a cultural change, which was ideal for the adoption by the U.S. of some of the considerably basic Marxist / Communist ideology principles.

Communism [from Latin communism, ‘common, universal’] is a left-wing sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology and current within the socialist movement, whose goal is the establishment of a communist society – a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society. No more no less than all that you see in the Biden administration nowadays.

As we all know, Marxism, communism and/or socialism utilizes social and/or racial class conflicts as its signature postulate. In the most primitive way I can think of, according to 19th century German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the defining characteristics of Marxism were based on dialectical and historical materialism as a means of understanding social conflicts. To be sure, Marx and Engels looked upon socialism as a steppingstone to communism.

Bottom line, again, back in the 1950’s it was all about anti-communists. In the last 70 years, however, the nation underwent its greatest sociopolitical change, while adopting the Marxist / Communist doctrines, appealing to segregation and racial differences as paradigmatic themes to justify the transformation. The Democrat Party wasted no time to banner the change to communism, as an elite in the Party view the transformation, ironically, as their ideal opportunity to satisfy personal political ambitions, which typically resulted in a greater wealth of the proponents.

And, like they say…” the rest is history.” As racial disparity was at center stage of the transformation revolution, identity politics was critical to the cause, thus the rise of a Black Communist, Barack Obama, from the tombs of the unknown to the President of the United States of America. And, yes, throughout it all, there was a well-planned strategy of deleting the words communism and/or communists from all political lingo – not doing so, could have made the adoption of the new ideology somewhat more difficult to accept the change for the older, the more conservative Americans, even within the Democrat Party – much in the same way that Fidel Castro, refrained from opening-up and fully admitting his being an all-out communist until later in his revolution.

In closing, I think I am battling an uphill battle, as the words communist and communism are “a-thing-of-the-past,” and the political colloquialisms “socialist and socialism” are here to stay. That said, I would highly recommend and urge that you teach your children that the Party, Democrats, and that all socialists, progressives, liberals, leftists, and the like are actually all cloaked communists – a sickness that is worse than the COVID pandemic. To be sure, approximately 6,776,968 have died from the Coronavirus and about 200 million have died under communism. God save us and God save the United States of America.
