Is Marxism Taking Over Main Street?


We've been watching videos of the "Occupy 'Wherever'" protesters who sound like they have no idea why they are out there amidst the crowds, sleeping on the streets and exercising their free speech (even if it makes no sense).  We've had a good laugh over some of the useful idiots and their bongo drums.  There are others who are able to articulate their reasons, some of which we might even agree with (a little).  But behind the supposedly "grassroots" movement, there are large organizations with agendas:

How grassroots can this movement be when a simple scroll through the internet reveals that Big Labor and Big Community Organization are openly supporting it, organizing it, taking donations for it and drafting petitions for it?  Some of those organizations are MoveOn, SEIU, AFL-CIO, National Nurses United, Working Families Party, Van Jones' Rebuild the Dream, Adbusters, US Day of Rage, Take the Square, October 2011, We are the 99%,  Progressive Change Campaign Committee, CREDO and MoveOn's very own Avaaz.org -- the international progenitor of the Arab Spring.

This video and article published in American Thinker gives us something to think about.  Is Marxism taking over Main Street? 


"The Occupation Manifesto" 
produced by Sally Zelikovsky, Steve Kemp, and Virginia Walters
"America has to wake up to this new reality: the Cold War battle between
communism and capitalism is back, only this time it's on our front porch.
It went underground in the 70s, got an education, put on a suit, bought a
house and had a couple of kids. Then it used the schools to educate new
foot soldiers and manipulated the pop culture to indoctrinate the next
generation of fellow travelers who seek to create a new world order in the
image of old world Marxism." Read the entire article, "The Revolutionaries'
Revenge" by Sally Zelikovksy at http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/10/the_revolutionaries_revenge.html
The Revolutionaries' Revenge
By Sally Zelikovsky
The media are mistakenly characterizing the Occupy Wall Street movement as unemployed Millennials with a legitimate gripe against Wall Street consistent with the Tea Party, or as a rag-tag group of unemployed stoners with no coherent message, not to be taken too seriously.   After spending hours interviewing protesters in Oakland, California, both characterizations are way off base.  If either scenario were apt, these folks would be marching on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and storming Congress.  Instead, they're taking on Wall Street and storming the homes of the wealthy and the buildings of large corporations. 
It's Mourning in America, friends.  Wake up to the fetid smell of Marxism taking over Main Street, intent on crushing Wall Street.
Each person interviewed in Oakland had the same story to tell, and if you listen carefully to the video from the main stream press, it's this: capitalism is the root of all evil. 
According to the Occupiers, Big Business has corrupted our government, corporations exploit workers, the rich control everything, the top 1% own somewhere between 30% and 60% of all wealth, the disparity between the rich and the remaining 99% is growing and the property-owning bourgeoisie is responsible for that.  The workers need to take control of the means of production and mount a revolution to overthrow capitalism by expropriating property from the bourgeoisie.  The workers need to rise up (fist pump), redistribute capital more equitably and establish a Marxist paradise -- slaying the neo-liberalism dragon and enthroning the worker, all in the name of "economic justice."
We can pretend this isn't the case by sticking our heads in the sand, but facts are facts.  When thousands say they want to overthrow capitalism and redistribute property, take them at their word, especially when their chants, signs, words, actions, websites and blogs all support that.  And when they are as highly-organized, highly-funded, highly-networked, highly-mobilized and highly-motivated as the Wall Street Occupiers are, then we need to be afraid, be very afraid.  Read more...
Do you think the author of the article is exaggerating the situation...or does she have it right?

  1. I think that perhaps it's already too late for America. The communist radicals have already taken over

  2. As much as there are clueless moron kids and hippies out there, the marxists, nazi's, socialists and anarchists are WELL represented and have usurped this. The morons will be the dupes for when things get really violent.

    On a funnier note, they are complaining their $5 K apple laptops, cash, food and even their flea ridden beds are being STOLEN! Guess they don't like their OWN STUFF being redistributed, ha ha ha.

  3. Hi CA Girl:
    Welcome to TCL and thanks for the follow.
    You're right about the radicals already taking over. We see them all over the administration, including Obama. The only way we can start to turn it around is to win 2012 decisively with a conservative Prez, House & Senate. We have a lot of work to do.

  4. Hi Bunni:
    I agree with your comments about the radicals usurping the protests. I fear violence is their ultimate goal.
    Hey, it's great that the useful idiots are getting a taste of their own medicine.

  5. I'm not sure how long this country has left. It is time for the good people to prepare themselves and their families for what is to come.

    We do need to be prepared and thank goodness we are paying attention, even if many Americans have no clue. I want to be optimistic that the 2012 elections will help to rectify some of this, although the radicals will still be there no matter what. The problem is that we have a president and an administration who encourages radicalism because they are radicals. A new, conservative president and administration will help put the lid on it...at least I hope it will.

  7. Obama is really pushing this class-warfare thing. Its his marxist upbring. The widget looks great. If the red color on "blogs to defeat obama in 2012" jumps out at you too much just check your color names and using the edit mode delete "red" and add whatever color best suits your blog. Also I changed my image size to height-150, width 150 and it looks much better. Its very easy, just don't preview after making changes. Make changes then click save. But really the image will look much better if the height and width are the same. Don't know how I messed up on that. As for the color change---just a matter of taste!

  8. I don't understand how people don't want the "American Dream!" Personally-I want to be successful with my job and make money so I can go after other endeavors in life and be self supported. I want to move up my company’s ladder by continuing to work my butt off. Not saying that life should be completely money driven, but I want to live comfortably and provide security for my future family. I don’t know why being “rich” is such a transgression to these people. I didn’t grow up extravagantly at all, we were raised to work for what we needed before of material items we wanted-so now that I am growing professionally in the company I work for, it’s very rewarding to be able to upgrade to a better vehicle or buy newer furniture from the money I worked hard for. These people don’t know what it’s like to work hard for what you have; they live off of other people and are missing that sense of self worth by becoming accomplished financially and professionally. They are stuck on the whole "Class Warfare" concept and it's utterly ridiculous.

  9. Hi, TCL, you may have seen this, but if not, it's well worth a read - things are getting really serious.

  10. I think the unwashed at these Occupy thingies are turning off REAL America but quick. If you've seen one commie, you seen em all.

  11. Hi Spidey:
    I also believe that violence is probably going to happen. Glenn Beck has been predicting this for a long time.
    As for the cleaning of Zuccotti Park, Business Insider has the story about how that got cancelled...and Obama is at the heart of it. Here's the article: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-10-11/news/30265911_1_loan-guarantee-wind-farm-solyndra

  12. Hi Ron:
    I'll try to change the dimensions and see what happens.

  13. Hi Odie:
    They're turning off a lot of people, but when the president encourages them to continue with the protests (maybe resulting in violence), what do we do?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yup o and his cadre of commies are behind ALL the horrid stuff going on! Glenn was very right about this, and they called him nuts, just like they do AJ and others.

    Thanks for that video of the kitteh and Mountain Lion. I had a similar thing happen with Kittehkins, and she stood her ground very well and protected us! A true Patriot, my Kitteh is ;-)

  15. Hi Bunni:
    Glenn was right about a lot of things.
    Glad you like the video.

  16. IMO, Marxists are the driving force behind these protests.

    What worries me is that Marxists are very good a drawing in others, particularly others who don't realize that the driving force is coming from Marxists.

    As far as I can tell, these numbers of protesters are small.

    That said, I am of the opinion that violence will break out. Real violence, not mere scuffles.

    America is on the cusp of something very terrible. And we have too many sheeple!

  17. They are becoming bolder because we have a president who is encouraging them and sympathizing with them. Matt over at Conservative Hideout 2.0 has some very disturbing videos of protesters entering a restaurant and threatening the owner and patrons. Also the neighbors around the OWS crowd are complaining about being harassed. It's getting worse every day and I too fear violence.
