In an excellent article published in American Thinker today, Randall Hoven examines the myths and lies about communism that have consistently been the rallying call of the anti-American, pro-leftist dictatorship, American left.
Myth: The Communist ideal is quite innocent, for example, “to each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities.”
Fact: “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property. … Abolition of the family! … Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality … this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads … In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.” (The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.)
Just like they did during communism’s heyday, the left would like us all to believe that terrorists are really nice people that only want to peacefully coexist. Unfortunately, communism, which only a few years ago appeared to be in its death throes, is rearing its ugly head once again. And if that were not enough, it is joining forces with this century’s true evil; Islamofacism.
Given the figures of $4,100 per capita income for Cuba and $43,800 for the U.S., Cubans are paying a 1,068% income tax for their “free” health care and education.
PT Barnum is still correct. Each second there is another sucker born.
