"250-years after the American Revolution unleashed a wave of toppled monarchies around the world, shadow “kings” are still jockeying for power. Rather than inheriting a kingdom, these wannabes will do anything to ascend a “throne”: steal, lie, cheat, charm, threaten, coerce -- they’d sell their own mother to wear a crown. It’s why current despots are so often narcissistic, sociopathic megalomaniacs. The Left always dredges up Hitler as an example of one. Yes, Der Fuhrer was a totalitarian autocrat, but make no mistake; Nazism was a socialist construct. Modern history proves that Leftist regimes have been, by far, the most brutal, anti-freedom, scourges on the face of the earth. Upwards of 65-million people were killed during Stalin and Mao’s reigns alone, dwarfing Hitler’s WWII body counts estimated at around 11-million. For decades, countless voices have been warning democracies about communist devilry. Radical Leftist vanguards, however, had already entrenched themselves in Western education, politics, media and entertainment providing today’s breeding ground for future tyrants.
"To understand the basic context of world governments in the last 100-years, with the exception of a handful of monarchies, only four basic economic/political philosophies exist: complete anarchy (no government), communism (total government control), socialism (extensive government control), and capitalism (minimal government control). To date -- save for capitalism – all have struggled enormously, eventually failed, or succumbed to capitalistic compromises to survive.
"Roughly one-third of the globe currently lives under socialist/communist authoritarian regimes and the numbers are rising. Countries like Venezuela are a case in point; once a stable democracy it is now ruled by a dictator. China’s hope for reform collapsed in 2018 when term limits for the presidency were dropped allowing Xi Jinping to be in power indefinitely – the very definition of a dictator. What makes this story even more ironic is the little-reported fact that Mao Tse Tung brutally persecuted and killed Xi’s father (who was a follower of Mao) during China’s Cultural Revolution. There-in is the sick power of communism; the means always justify the ends, no matter how vile. The State demands absolute loyalty and outlaws dissent, thus turning friends and family members against each other. Screwtape, anyone?
"“But that’s communism,” you might say, “not socialism. Socialism is harmless. There’s so much inequity in capitalism.”
"People have long said that if you think capitalism is a study in inequality, go live in a communist country. Corruption exists in every government regardless of ideology. Do you think Putin lives in poverty? Kim Jong-un? Do you think Stalin didn’t live like a king? Talk about the greatest inequality of all. In communist countries, the masses live like paupers and the politburo live like kings." . . . More...
