Why is it that Communists pretend they’re not?
A fine example of this being the huge signs that began to appear in my area over the past couple of weeks, just prior to Election Day. These signs read: Good Neighbors Feed Kids Fix Roads.
Leaving out the force part.
Note that. Also the wheedling attempt to make you feel bad for not wanting to be forced. You are not a “good neighbor” if you oppose forcing other people to feed someone else’s kids. And to be forced to pay more money for “fixing roads” – never mind that everyone who uses the roads already pays for them – via motor fuels taxes – that no one is forced to pay because you do not have to own/drive a vehicle. You pay the tax if you choose to buy gas for your vehicle.
See the difference?
Communism would not be objectionable if it weren’t forced on people who want nothing to do with it. If a group of people wish to live as communists, among themselves, who on the outside could object? So long as it’s all voluntary and no one is forced to be a Communist.
Put another way, it is very neighborly to agree to lend your neighbor a tool. But that is not the kind of “neighborliness” the Communists mean. They mean to take the tool – and everything else.
See the difference?
It is an interesting thing that Communists feel obliged to pretend they are neighborly when they are the antithesis of neighborly. It is a confession by these Communists; they know what they espouse is despicable and indefensible but they will not acknowledge what makes it despicable.
And that is why Communists are so despicable.
It is their mewly, smarmy dishonesty that grates. Their treacly Kumbaya-around-the-campfire pretending. “We’re all in this together.” Remember? No, we’re all being forced to endure this, together.
See the difference?
It is not a free-will choosing thing. That is to say, an admirable thing. As opposed to the utterly loathsome thing of taking away free choice using force.
Good neighbors do feed their kids. And – sometimes – it’s neighborly to help them. But that is not the same thing as feeding the power of Communists to determine who gets fed – and who will pay for it. People in the neighborhood see that one of their neighbors – whom they know – has fallen on hard times. Being good neighbors, they do what they can to help. They bring over food. Maybe the help in other ways. But they do it because they choose to, which they do because they want to. And – this is important – because they know that they have the power to choose not to. This serves as a check on the kind of legalized parasitism that “neighborly” Communists want.
If the good neighbors discover their neighbor is a lout who won’t work, they can withhold the help he does not deserve. This serves as an inducement to him helping himself. Communists help themselves to your money, which they dispense it as they see fit – including most of all to themselves. Note that Communist leaders rarely need help, themselves – having helped themselves to as much as they like of what others are forced to hand over to them.
If Communism is as Kumbaya as Communists like to pretend it is, why aren’t Communists willing to defend it – openly – for what it is? Marx – the founder of Communism – was among the most despicable people to ever walk on two legs. But he was at least honest about Communism. Credit where credit is due. He urged:
Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose.
This is what Communists call “property taxes” serve to do – and fund. You do not own property that you must rent forever. And that is exactly what Communists have imposed.
A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.
It speaks for itself.
Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.
See the first two points, which are effectively accomplishing this by greatly reducing the ability of most people to accumulate wealth and thus have anything left at the end of their lives to pass on as an inheritance.
Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.
California – perhaps the most Communist state of the bunch – taxes emigrants. The federal government says you “owe” it money if you try to leave the United States.
Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.
Done by Communists when the Federal Reserve – which is as “federal” as Rachel Levine is female – was imposed more than 100 years ago.
Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.
Both well under way – with more to come, if the Communists win on Election Day. Facebook, Google and “X” are effectively under Communist control and private vehicles are very close to being entirely under the control of the Communists who control the federal regulatory apparat. They say it is for “safety” and “the environment,” of course. Because – unlike Marx – they know Communism isn’t appealing or defensible when openly discussed.
Extension of Factories and Instruments of Production Owned by the State, the Bringing Into Cultivation of Waste Lands, and the Improvement of the Soil Generally in Accordance with a Common Plan.
Communists always have plans – and their plans always rely on force. The Green New Deal is very red.
Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.
This has not yet happened. But only because Communists know if they openly advocated it, most people would recoil from it. But it is implicit in slavery – when people are – and so we are in everything but name.
Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.
They are quietly talking about this – and even saying the quiet part out loud. “15 Minute cities” and the nudging of people into them from the country. “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing,” if you haven’t heard. The deliberate flooding of the country with entire populations of foreign people; the exporting of the urban poor to the rural parts, so as to replicate the urban hives that Communists favor everywhere.
Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children’s Factory Labor in its Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.
It has already been done, son. Only it isn’t free when everyone is forced to pay for it. And – rather than child labor – child slavery. For 12 years in those “free” government (they are not public) schools.
This is a longer-form iteration of the “neighborliness” of latter-day Communists such as the people who posted that sign in their yard. They feel righteous posting it, too. Either because they do not understand it. Or – worse – because they do.
And haven’t got the decency of Marx to make it plain that they do.

How my heart soars, when grifting DC insiders get beat to shit by regular people.
“Good Neighbors Feed Kids Fix Roads.” It’s fem-o-communism, along the same lines of “it takes a village to raise a child.”
And “good neighbors” also wear a covid mask.
The “gender gap” is the singular feature of this election, women will mostly vote for communism to have the “benevolent” government give them what they cannot get for themselves. A brown woman championing abortion is the perfect fem-o-communist candidate against Orange Hitler — who is now a “rapist” which cost him $80 million despite zero actual evidence, and he is going to force all women to make babies and wear ankle skirts and cover their heads just like “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Just like the did in his first term.
People need to recognize the fact that communism today is not Stalin sending you to gulag in Siberia, it’s women forcing you to wear a covid mask, it’s women restricting your speech because “hate speech” is now “violence,” it’s women forcing trannies onto girl’s sports teams and teaching homosexuality to kindergarteners.
Sure, there are what Nietzsche called “the learned asses of the male sex” like Tim Walz enabling them — but he’s ultimately just a simp for grrlboss Kamala.
Orwell (like Aristophanes) understood this when he wrote “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”
Exceptions like our own beloved Raider Girl duly noted, of course…
In the event that Trump wins and somehow lives long enough to take office how much can he accomplish? We know the bureaucracy and courts will oppose any attempt to roll back the powers of the state. The left of course will go even crazier.
The only thing I know for certain is that we are living in interesting times.
“Collectivism and freedom are mortal enemies. Only one will survive.” – G. Edward Griffin
“Trump will be a dictator!”
“Trump will outlaw abortion!”
“Trump will kill his political enemies!”
Well, the bureaucracy spent 120 years consolidating power to the Executive branch. It was necessary (as we were told) to combat the rise of the national corporations. Then it was necessary to combat (in a “hold my beer” way) the centralized authority of the Soviets. Now the bureaucracy looks over at Asia and their centralized authority, and Europe and their centralized authority with the same communist beer goggles they’ve been wearing since the 1920s, and believe the only way that the United States (plural) can compete is to centralize power ever more.
(And don’t even get me started on the train wreck of Canada)
But why? What is the end goal? Is it truly to have one global hegemony in love peace and harmony? Or is it just to get power over someone else? And eventually, everyone else?
If the state wanted to, they could easily geld the executive branch. It would only require repealing laws, most of which would probably be easily accomplished if the Congress had any imagination (or spine). They even have a friendly Supreme Court who’s willing to roll back “laws” like Roe v. Wade.
The world is dispersing. The governments are not. It’s time they figure out that they’re no longer leading, they’re getting in the way. Give up the power that you stole from the states and the people before it is taken. Because angry mobs aren’t usually open to persuasive arguments as to why you should be allowed to keep your head.
With what the Democrat Party and neoliberalism wishes to foist on the masses, it’s hard to tell whether what they’re pushing is communism, technocracy, or a combination of both, from “15 minute cities” to “transgenderism” (which could eventually become a push for us all to become human/ machine hybrids) to CBDCs to digital ID.
I read a piece last night that the Biden-Harris regime quietly handed over U.S. sovereignty to that evil globalist organization known as the UN. The WEF & WHO likely want similar powers over American citizens.

Speaking of neighborly communists, I have a yard sign with my local republican (Joe Kent) who is running for congress. I was taking my Scottie Dog for his Sunday morning walk when I saw a neighbor approaching from down the street. I said, “good morning”, and he said, “a lot of people in this neighborhood are supporting fascists.” I said: what do you mean? He pointed at my Joe Kent sign. I said, well I guess that makes you a Marxist.
The left are losing their collective hive-minds. (It is going to be fun to watch… if Trump wins.)
Of course. To your neighbor, centralized power and command are the only option. In fact I’ll bet for the 10 seconds of thought he might have put into the idea it becomes the logical outcome. It never occurred to him that there’s an alternative that doesn’t involve central planners. Mostly because he’s never noticed any system based on mutual cooperation (even though he’s deeply immersed in many such systems every day of his life).
I’ve been flying a Trump flag since the attempted assassination in Pennsylvania. It’s mostly to antagonize my lefty moonbat neighbor. Of course, she’s a fembot on disability. It’s unclear she’s every actually worked in her 70-some years of life and has the entitlement / poor people mentality.
Tomorrow my Confederate first national flag and Alabama secession flag will go back up. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know history & couldn’t say what they are & what they represent. Ditto the Betsy Ross & Gadsden flags I fly occasionally.
All commies form Karl to Kamala are not motivated by altruism. That’s a red herring. They desire unchecked control over everyone and everything.
I saw a big sign in the front yard of a Dem/Communist supporter in the city, it said, “She understands the assignment”.
What the heck does that mean, I wondered.
The Communist assignment?
Understanding the assignment doesn’t mean she’s capable of implementing it.
Yah, true dat.
The sign also seemed to have a QAnon quality to it.
I can picture the neighbor of Hans Gruber (above) having one in his front yard, too.
…And, that’s where we are: “… he said, “a lot of people in this neighborhood are supporting fascists.” I said: what do you mean? He pointed at my Joe Kent sign. I said, well I guess that makes you a Marxist.”
‘“She understands the
assignmentassignation”.noun
1.
an appointment to meet someone in secret, typically one made by lovers.
“her assignation with an older man”
During Soviet days, my dad was invited on a tour of Czechoslovakia and Russia. After he returned, we began receiving crudely mimeographed communist propaganda in the mail. My dad reported it to the FBI. They never replied, which pissed him off.
Those commie rants, using old-timey Marxist slogans, denounced ‘capitalist running dogs’ and ‘colonialist oppressors’ … which turned out to be accurate enough in Vietnam. But the formulaic agitprop was hardly likely to appeal to an American audience.
Now WE are the ones who emit formulaic agitprop, like this mind-numbingly stupid headline from today’s New York Slimes fishwrapper:
Russia Escalates Effort to Subvert Election and ‘Instill Fear in Voters,’ U.S. Says
‘Groups from Russia and other countries could continue to stoke political discord until the election is certified in January, intelligence agencies say.’
*YAWN* I been all around the world; ain’t no Russian bother me.
Like the presstitutes, the intel spooks are an integral faction of the Democrat party. Remember the October 2020 pronunciamento by 51 spooks that the Hunter Biden laptop was ‘Russian tradecraft’? All lies. And now they’re doing it again.
Death to the Lügenpresse.
The Bubble Headed Bleach Blond on the teevee just informed us that due to all the “early voting” the results will take longer to tabulate.
So, the thing that is supposed to “streamline” the system actually screws it up. It’s the Perfect GovCo Program.
One thing I’ve come to realize during this election cycle, people no longer drink the Kool-Aid, they mainline it.
@Eric – My guess is that The Woods has a lot of Bank of America execs stashed out that way “working” from home, particularly HR types and 2%-ers “managing” portfolios in the jammies at BofA Private Wealth Management, formerly part of Merryl Lynch.
The further north the I-77 toll lanes run, the more distant the Charlotte exurbs grow.
From Transurban the same people who brought you the toll lanes on the Beltway and the “Fred Ex”, now turning Fredericksburg into a DC suburb.
I remember my son and his friend were discussing Nation Socialist regime and their murderous ways. I mentioned they may want to delve into the top two murderous psychopaths of all time. Uncle Joe and cuntman mao. They were amazed that they never heard of such a thing in school or on jewvision.
Eric , in a real election Trump would the biggest landslide of all time. Fingers crossed.
Would win
Ditto that, Nova –
The next 48 hours are going to be . . . interesting.
Communistic regimes have been the biggest mass murderers in history. Even surpassing all religious murdering regimes throughout history. Just think a short 3 years ago during our descent into communism during the covid me-too freakout. Millions were killed by the communistic tactics of lockdowns, poison bioweapon shots, mandatory face diapers, and medical malpractice/neglect. In just three years. Marx, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot would have been proud.
