Wikipedia is a joke that also happens to be one of the most visited websites on the planet. Alexa ranked at 13, the “resource” has a history of annoying educators at every level but continues to serve as a citation for all things despite an increasingly left-ward bent.

‘Green Leap Forward’
In the book Mao’s Great Famine, author Frank Dikötter describes in vivid detail the period between 1958 and 1962 where an estimated 45 million Chinese people were worked, starved, or beaten to death in a mad rush to overtake the Western world as measured by agricultural and industrial outputs.
Stasi: The East German Secret Police. An Account
Hubertus Knabe was one of the East German citizens surveilled by the Stasi. Hubertus Knabe has called for a more outspoken anti-communism in German society, and has particularly called upon the SPD party to identify with its anti-communist tradition as part of its democratic legacy. He has pointed out that social democrats were the first … Read more
Stasi: The East German Secret Police. An Overview
Surveillance States were long used to repress citizens by State Actors. An examination of the Stasi will illustrate for us the parallels we are now seeing in the words and deeds of our government, Big tech and other corporations in America. But first…a historic overview of the Stasi.
Stasi was the colloquial name for the East German Secret Police. More formally, the, “Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, “(MfS) Ministry for State Security. Additionally, Stasi was referred to as, “Staatssicherheitsdienst,” (SSD) or, State Security Service. The Stasi was the internal Security arm of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This was the East German Secret Police that operated from 1951 until 1989 until the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The MfS motto effectively conveyed their mission: “Shield and sword of the Party.” (Schild und Schwert der Partei)Party, referring to the “Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, (SED) or, the, “East German Communist Party,” formed in April of 1946 with the merger of the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
The SED was the single dominant party for the German Democratic Republic. A Marxist-Leninist political party that remained in power from its formation post World War II and remaining in power until its dissolution in 1989.
Open Letter From an American Coward
Please save, screenshot, etc., then boost. I don’t usually ask for my content to be shared. What I am about to say though is perhaps the most important thing I will ever say in public, and in the present landscape of the internet, there is a very high probability that it is being silenced or erased … Read more
The Clenched Fist of Congressman Pappas
DURING HIS 2016 CAMPAIGN for Congress, New Hampshire candidate Chris Pappas wore a shirt with a picture of a clenched raised fist with the word “Resist” on it. If you’re a student of history you’ll recognize the symbol. It’s the badge of the Italian communist students’ group that called themselves the Red Brigades.
George Floyd Died of COVID19
There will be another round of violence after Trump wins the election. And then another if the officer accused of murdering George Floyd is determined by a jury to be not guilty. George couldn’t breathe because of heart failure exacerbated by a lethal dose of fentanyl, except that he actually died from COVID19.
Notable Quote – It’s always the “well, the right people haven’t implemented it” excuse
Yet while socialists distance themselves from contemporary and historical examples of socialism, they usually struggle to explain what exactly they would do differently. Socialists tend to escape into abstraction, and talk of lofty aspirations rather than tangible institutional characteristics. -Kristian Niemietz ( Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies) That’s all we keep hearing – … Read more
The Left and the Rise of Marxism
Is it a case of ordained fate we cannot escape or is it that We the People are too dense to learn from our own mistakes? Paging through humanity’s history, time, and again we find numerous instances of costly mistakes where people ignore facts and reason by entrusting their lives to a “savior.”
Democrat Bucket List: An America with Chinese Characteristics
China is a communist country. Making people disappear is a thing you don’t ask about unless you want to disappear. Rights are not a thing; you don’t have any. But the CCP discovered something important. Markets. Communism needs money, but communism is a disincentive to create wealth.
You are responsible for me so I can control you (as I like)
Alternative title 1: Community above the Individual
Alternative title 2: the government has made us all our brothers’ keepers.
That is a political philosophy called Communitarianism. The short definition is a feeling of community but on steroids with the control clamps being brought out of the secret drawers.
Should the ‘T’ in ANTIFA Stand for ‘Twitter”?
A quick tale for your AM consideration. ANTIFA. It’s been around for over 70 years, originally formed by Marxists, it continues to behave like them to this very day. And Twitter’s community standards need not apply to its antics.
The shroud of socialism won’t be lifted with Bernie’s defeat
Democrats and Republicans seem to agree on one thing: Bernie Sanders cannot defeat President Trump in the general election. While his raucous crowds and early campaign victories suggest widespread support, a recent Gallup poll confirms that 53 percent of Americans surveyed would not vote for a socialist presidential candidate.
Communism: So, Bernie-Bros NH State Rep Jan Schmidt and Bruce Currie can understand
Here, let me make it easy for them (and their ilk) by using just three pictures to show the three main stages of getting to Communism.
Face the Truth About Socialism
It is time for Bernie and all the people thinking of supporting him to face the truth about Socialism. Socialism works in opposition to liberty. It destroys free societies. America today faces a wide array of threats with one commonality: They all oppose American freedom.
And the Democrat Party finally returns to its ideological Founder
Yep, that’s right. At least now. When you see the bills they are trying to pass in both Concord and DC, you know from whence they came. A Constitutional Republic depends on a number of things but most of all, adherence to The Rule of Law, Equality before the Law, the Right to Private Property, … Read more
Why is it that Democrats all want to “change” us? Why can’t they just leave us alone?
We’ve heard this before: “We are five days from fundamentally transforming America“. Yeah, then President-elect Obama. And now, Comrade Sanders is now making it quite clear that he hates America as well – and our values.
AOC – Take Control of Your Life…By Giving Government Control of Everything
It doesn’t get much more communist than this — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reading scripture and verse, or close enough, from the Soviet Indoctrination Guidebook. To be truly free you must let the government take over everything.
We fought them abroad but here they are
You know, I/we don’t do this enough as our commenters are very bright and incisive. They ‘get it’ and get to the point. The problem is that their comments, while valued, sometimes don’t get the play they should. So, I’m going to do more “promoting” than what I have done in the past. From Steve’s … Read more
