communism is great. Workers in Cuba get 25 usd/month. castro dies with a net worth of 400 million usd. Beria would drive around moscow and select a young woman, take her back to his luxury home, rape and sometimes murder her. Pol pot murdered a third of his country. The mostly jewish bolsheviks murdered 65 million Christian Russians. Vasily blokhin personally murdered 20 thousand Polish prisoners at Katyn Forrest. He shot them three at a time, took months. Hard work, you know. This is only a small accounting of the misery, murder, death and starvation caused by communism over the entire world. I agree with Rafal Gan Ganowicz when he was asked what it felt like to kill someone.

If one studies the roots of Communism the foundation of the Cloward/Pivens Strategy is the Karl Marx "Proletariat Revolution":

Marxists see capitalism as an unstable system that will eventually result in a series of crises. The more that capitalism grows, the more people take advantage of it, and the more oppressed, degraded, and exploited the proletariat will be (Marx, 1873). Eventually, capitalism will result in a revolt by the proletariat, according to Marxists. This will lead to the dismantling of capitalism to make way for a socialist or communist state. Cloward and Pivens morphed Marx from the 19th to the 20th Century.

In the Communist Manifesto, written in 1848, Marx and Engels proposed that the proletariat revolution was inevitable and would be caused by the continued exploitation of the capitalists. The workers will eventually revolt due to increasingly worse working conditions and low wages. Marx argued that a social revolution would mean changing the existing social and political system from a capitalist to a communist society. A communist society means there are no social classes or private property. The result of the Communist revolution is that private property and capitalism will be replaced by a classless society in which private property will be replaced with collective ownership. This will mean that society will become Communist. similar to China and North Korea.

Overheard an ignorant 'educated' white woman say in regards to the invasive species migrant hordes - "All are welcome' I guess I'm a socialist." Lenin said "the goal of socialism is communism." Well kumbaya everybody.

Speaking of utopian fantasies isn't that exactly what the 2025 Project is really all about. A manifestation of the utopian world-view promoted by Opus Dei. Some many of the principal movers & shakers of the project are closely associated with Opus Dei as is J D Vance.

And isn't destroying the land (aka the environment) the inevitable outcome of its applied politics.

These two books describe the behind the scenes power-and-control-seeking impetus of Opus Dei

Stench by David Brock

Opus by Gareth Gore.

At another level the 2025 project is the leading edge vector of the Wetiko psychosis as described here: http://www.awakeninthedream.com/undreaming-wetiko-introduction

That collective psychosis was fully on display at this toxic-all-the-way-down-gabfest
