How Did Communism Become Cool? 为什么共产变成当今的时髦？

陈凯一语：

毛像、毛尸、毛塑、毛语、毛厨、毛钞、毛衫、、，这世界充满了血腥的共产与毛魔的标志。 杀人建政、杀人保政、杀人求稳、杀人求权、、，杀人虐人成了中国人们的文化基点。 杀人为自豪、杀人为时髦成了中国式暴政的特征。 现在这样的血腥反人性的文化正在被中共党奴朝的金钱与强权用孔学院、孔学堂向世界与美国倾销。 用“文化多样性”与“道德相对论”的病态心理容忍这样的杀人文化只能说明我们自身的腐败与堕落。

Kai Chen's Words:

Mao portrait, Mao corpse, Mao statue, Mao quotations, Mao's Kitchen, Mao currency, Mao T-shirts..., today this world is full of symbols of devil-worship - a devil who murdered nearly 80 million people. Killing to grab power, killing to stabilize regime, killing to achieve harmony, killing to maintain despotism..., killing and torturing has become the main feature and even the foundation of the Chinese culture. Pride in killing, abuse and mayhem has made the Chinese style Oriental tyranny a fashion, a chic to the world. Now with newly acquired money and power, the Chinese communist regime is using Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms to force-feed the world, especially America such a blood-thirsty culture. Yet using "multi-culturalism" and "moral relativism" to tolerate such a murderous culture only shows our own moral depravity, corruption, lack of faith and pathological yearning to be accepted by majority.

How Did Communism Become Cool?

为什么共产变成当今的时髦？

Who thought this statue of Stalin was a good idea?

I want to talk to you about communism, but I have to tell you, that sounds like a joke. Three years ago I didn't even think it was around; I would have mocked someone like me. But don't fall into that trap. Open your mind and your ears — the country is in trouble.

The best thing to ever happen to communists was the red scare and Joseph McCarthy. We had beaten communism, soundly discrediting it in every sense. People viewed communists as traitors who wanted to destroy America. They crept back into unions — especially teachers' unions — that coupled with colleges, you now had a situation where communists were starting to be the ones writing and teaching history.

Our children have grown up not knowing what communism is. They didn't have to go through the emergency attack drills at school. They didn't grow up hearing about the gulags. They haven't seen the horror show of millions of mass murders and starving people at the hands of brutal communist dictators.

So now it's cool to be a communist. T-shirts of Che Guevara are one of the most popular t-shirts around. Che was a racist and mass murderer, yet we have schools banning kids from wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo. If we're going to ban shirts, how about the one with the communist killer on it? It's not offensive because no one looks at the history of what they did.

How else can you explain everything going on today that happens with little or no outrage? Things like the statue of Stalin going up in Virginia? How does that idea not cross someone — anyone's — desk who said, "This may not be a good idea"? It happens because no one knows who these communists really were anymore. It's just cool.

Mao statue in the Nixon Library with visitors from China.

Cameron Diaz illustrated this mindset when she visited Peru to do a TV project on Peru and its culture. While touring the country, she carried a purse emblazoned with a red star and the words "Serve the People" printed in Chinese. That was Chairman Mao's slogan. It was a Maoist insurgency in the 1980s and '90s that killed 70,000 people in Peru. Not to mention the tens of millions of people Mao killed in China. It's not so cool when you know history, is it Cameron? But they don't know.

You've got communist teachers in California calling for revolution. The Houston branch of Communist Party USA — a group that's called for the nationalization of BP — is reaching out to young people through Facebook. And their favorite movie is Michael Moore's "Capitalism, a Love Story."

CINDY SHEEHAN, ACTIVIST: Any meaningful discussion of this disaster must challenge the system and structure of capitalism. If we had socialism, where the companies were nationalized and the democratic control of the workers, the clean-up — maybe they would have had an acoustic device on the blowout preventer. Maybe they would have spent an extra half a million dollars to prevent this disaster and we wouldn't have to be here.

Or, Cindy, maybe like every other socialist or communist country in the history of mankind, we'd already be bankrupt and living in gulags. One of the two — I'll side with history.

It's obvious we aren't paying attention to history any more when the Communist Party had their annual convention broadcast on C-SPAN. Think about that: Half a century ago we were rooting out communists as traitors to the country; now we're dutifully listening to them on C-SPAN.

How did we get here? We were warned, but we didn't listen. Former Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson warned about what was coming in a 1966 speech where he talked about a meeting he once had with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev:

FORMER SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE EZRA TAFT BENSON: As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren would live under freedom, he arrogantly declared in substance: "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We won't have to fight you; we'll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands."

He knew firsthand what was happening and documents now show that FDR had used the Department of Agriculture as his own communist recruiting station.

Henry Wallace was secretary; he was a progressive supported by the Communist Party USA. He never denounced any communist support he received. FDR and Wallace decided they needed to help farmers, who were in dire financial crisis. Their idea: Artificially raise prices. They slaughtered 6 million pigs, plowed up cotton fields and destroyed other crops. This in the middle of the worst depression we've ever had. Is it any wonder socialism and communism end up with people starving to death?

ADD moment: Hugo Chavez is seizing control of the food in Venezuela. And now there's 80,000 tons of rotting food in warehouses. But pay no attention to that, because communism is cool. This is why we need to know the history or else we're doomed to repeat it.

There's the stuff you need to know, on how we got here. But really where are we? Is what these people wanted to do a joke? Have they failed?

What did the Communist Party USA say they wanted to do in 1963? Here's a few that stand out:

No. 3: Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength

No. 15: Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States

No. 17: Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks

No. 18: Gain control of all student newspapers

No. 19: Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack

No. 20: Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions

No. 21: Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures

No. 27: Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion

No. 28: Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"

No. 29: Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis

No. 30: Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man"

No. 36: Infiltrate and gain control of more unions

No. 37: Infiltrate and gain control of big business

No. 40: Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce

This was the to-do list for the communists in the 1960s. Compare that to the U.S. Constitution — which one are we following?
