Democrats intend to continue socialism’s march

To understand the current political goals of the democratic socialists, you need to go back to the writings of Karl Marx. Marx believed that a spontaneous workers uprising would lead to the end of capitalism. When it didn’t happen, revisionist Marxism proponents like Lenin and Trotsky concluded it would have to be brought about by force. This led to violent revolutions in Russia, China and Latin America. They eventually fizzled out due to corruption and greed on the part of their leaders, and systemic lack of incentives to production.

During the 1930s, when Marxists and communists at the University of Frankfurt, who came to be known as “The Frankfurt School,” theorized that all of society’s institutions had to be torn down, and out of the ensuing chaos would come a new world order led by, of course, a different group of corrupt, greedy leaders.

Fast forward to today. The liberal Democrats know that their policy aims cannot win elections as they have been exposed as failures and rejected by voters. So, it’s back to attacking our institutions. Religion, the traditional family unit, gender identification, and nation states all must be destroyed. Race must be eliminated through mass immigration and eventual inter-breeding of the masses. Education has to be replaced with indoctrination. Hard work and success will be represented as evil. It is power over every aspect of our lives they want, and they will stop at nothing to get it.

Think about that when you vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
