Socialists’ platform proves they are communists at heart

How many times have we heard those in the burgeoning socialist movement claim that they are not communists, but advocate for the working class, along the lines of a Scandinavian country?

Many more lucid analysts see through this charade. They have been claiming that the leaders of this Democratic-Socialist movement are anti-American, anti-semitic, anti-police, anti-private property and anti-free enterprise.

The leftist political punditry retorts that this isn’t so. But if you want to prove that those in the DSA are indeed communist sympathizers, don’t take our word for it. Just look at what they themselves say. Look at the actual platform that they passed and that their candidates pledge to support.

There’s no question that these are communists.

There was a time that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would hide their true intentions in order to first get elected and thereafter unveil these radical concepts to the public. But now they’re feeling so emboldened with their recent wins, and their inroads with the college educated white upper-middle class in the US, that they aren’t pulling any punches.

These are the actual items that the DSA pledge to support. (Once again, we are not making this up.)

1…End the election of the president of the United States. Instead, have the president appointed by Congress.

2…Close prisons and abolish the police.

3…Maintain open borders with the free flow of human beings to and from any nation on the planet in an unlimited fashion.

4…Eliminate any immigration enforcement.

5…Eliminate the Department of the Defence.

6…Eliminate the Supreme Court.

7…Give voting rights to criminals.

8…Establish public ownership of major industries and corporations.

9…End military and economic aid to Israel.

10…End the ability to have private health insurance.

11…Cancel all student debt.

12…Impose universal rent control.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate, James Talarico, says that capitalism is a tool of white supremacy. New York City’s housing czar has publicly stated that she wishes to abolish private housing, since it, too, is a relic of white supremacy. Her boss, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has called for the state’s seizure of the means of production.

We don’t believe that a majority of Democrats in Congress agree with this platform in its totality. We are very much aware, however, that the wing of the party that does adhere to these principles are growing in strength. They are quickly becoming the tail that wags the dog. When the margins separating the parties in Congress are so small, every single vote is needed to get a resolution passed.

This makes the socialist members of the Democratic Party indispensable to the party at large. The so-called mainstream has no choice but to cater to them, and to bend to their will or they simply don’t have enough votes to have any power. That’s why it’s so important that the average voter pay more attention to the fact that the Democratic establishment is now absorbing the socialist/communist under their tent, where in decades past, that would never have been a consideration.

This is the very reason long time Democrat and Clinton strategist, James Carville, said he’d prefer a Republican House over a Democratically controlled House with a slim majority of five, that would make the DSA the new king makers.

Former Soviet premier Nikita Krushchev once predicted that the communists would eventually defeat America, not through military means, but from within.

It’s not far-fetched to believe that we are seeing this happening before our very eyes. The communists are now making inroads into one of the two major political parties in the United States.

This column is designed to wake up the average voter to take note that the sweet sounding rhetoric coming from the socialists about equality is, at its very essence, just another communist manifesto. What they will do is provide equal levels of poverty across the board.

Taking over the means of production and forcing our private corporations and industries to be controlled by the government is communism.

Ending the ability to have private ownership of homes is communism, and ripping up contracts between creditors and lenders is as well.

If you’re scared, after reading this, you should be. The more the socialist/communist bloc makes inroads into the Democratic Party, the harder it will be to expel them. We must wake up before it’s too late.
