by Dylan Charles, DC Clothesline:

Without question the U.S. is devolving into a failed state and although people are still fond of calling it a democracy, it really operates more like a plutocracy, an oligarchy, a kleptocracy, or even a kakistocracy. But what’s in a name?

Something will emerge to replace it, and if you’re paying attention you can already see the classic signs of a Marxist cultural revolution taking place. There’s no shortage of pawns and foot soldiers demanding social justice, idealogical conformity, and supposed equality, while using all the strong-arm tactics, street violence, and language of Hitler’s Brownshirts or Mao’s Red Guards.

Let’s be honest, though, every form of government human beings have tried has failed, always decaying into authoritarianism, rampant corruption, and eventually mass murder. Under the banners of communism and socialism, though, hundreds of millions of people have been starved or murdered in just the last century alone.

America was once a beacon of hope for people fleeing these terrifying forms of government, but now we’re under assault by ‘woke’ mobs and cancel culture, whose best idea is to go backwards in time and redo socialism or communism yet again. 

Most people don’t seem to want to study history in order to decide whether American communism would be a good idea or not. They don’t seem to want to acknowledge that this has all been done before.

But you don’t have to read history books to grasp this, because, there are plenty of people alive today who’ve survived communism, and who are watching in horror today as mindless mobs demand a regression into something far worse than late stage capitalism.

My wife, for example, grew up in communist Poland. Her childhood was marked with food lines, food rationing, military presence everywhere, party loyalty, political persecution, spies, domestic surveillance, and so on. It’s a terrible way to live, and so her family went through the very risky and painful process of defecting and immigrating to the United States for freedom and opportunity.

I recently saw a comment from a friend who grew up in communist China during the tail end of the most brutal era of Chinese state oppression. You can tell from her personal experience that she sees what I see, a bunch of supposedly woke people screaming and demanding something that we already know will ultimately only turn around and bite them when the time is right.

Juliet Tang comments on social justice warriors, cancel culture and the reality of the kind of society this creates, and I feel like her thoughts are worth sharing.

I got something to say about Cancel Culture and social justice warriors. I don’t get paid to educate some of the kids on the internet, so this is public service.

I’m the granddaughter of a woman who was canceled by SJW – except they were called Red Guards during the Chinese Cultural Revolution that started in 1966, which resulted in tens of millions of deaths and lasting famine in its ten year duration.
