Communism American Style

Communism /pseudo-liberalism is the greatest danger of the emotional plague to the Western World from within. Islamism is the greatest danger to it from the outside. Today’s communists have developed the capacity to largely imitate the appearance of their environment. Like the cuttlefish, they can take on any image of their surroundings thereby concealing their true identity. This ability to simulate is why they do not present themselves as the typical sinister looking fringe elements that they were associated with a generation ago. In fact, the more inconspicuous they can make themselves, the more “Americanized” they look, the more effective they are in destroying their American victims from within, so therefore, camouflage is one of their primary methods of defense. Since they have taken on the facade of an honest-to-goodness true liberal American and refer to themselves as “progressives,” it would be more accurate to describe today’s communists as pseudo-liberals.

Today’s pseudo-liberals belonging to the American Democratic Party function in exactly the same manner as did Communist Party members in the Soviet Union. Like old time communists, the function of pseudo-liberals in politics is to take control of the government, deny whatever freedoms that exist and ultimately turn America into a Soviet Style dictatorship. It is not a matter of conscious choice for them. Like the cuttlefish, pseudo-liberals have a structural compulsion to behave in this manner. It is not in their power to function otherwise.

The System Of Checks And Balances In American Government Has Failed

One of the safeguards against tyranny instituted by the Founding Fathers was a system of checks and balances of power by separating the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. However, this system could only work as long as people had the capacity for rational thinking and the authoritarian social order, where authority resided in individuals and on local social levels, was intact. The authoritarian social order in America was the foundation that made it possible for a division of power to exist.

With the anti-authoritarian transformation of society, there was a shift in the political mainstream to the left of center with an enormous concentration of power transferred to the Federal Government. The power of individuals to rationally think for themselves has been largely replaced by the collective ideology of the political left in a majority of those in the three branches of the Federal Government. The only remaining life-positive force to oppose this destructive ideology resides in the voting power of the American people in the 2012 elections.

The Consequences Of The Socio-political Redshift On People’s Thinking

The socio-political redshift is the deviation to the far left of center in the current mainstream of socio-political thought. It was brought about because of the anti-authoritarian transformation of American society which began around 1960 and it was responsible for the political polarization between the left and the right and the generalized cultural degradation in society.

It is first necessary to recognize the existence of the socio-political red shift before any sense can be made of a politician’s true identity and mode of operation. Because of this redshift to the left of center, any moderate politician that is not part and parcel of the mainstream of political thinking is automatically identified as a product of the political far right while anyone belonging on the political left, no matter how far to the left he belongs, is considered to be a political moderate. This is why Barack Obama who belongs to the extreme left of center is considered by many Americans to be a moderate liberal when, in fact, he actually functions as a pseudo-liberal/communist character. This segment of the population is totally taken in by his pseudo-liberal facade.

Part of the problem is that people think only in terms of what political party a politician belongs to and not in terms of their socio-political character structure that determines their political ideas. The Democratic Party in America was successfully infiltrated and taken over by hard core communist characters during the 1960s at the time that the socio-political red shift was happening. This major event in the history of American politics was the essence of the redshift, an event that went almost completely unnoticed by everyone including, in particular, the younger generation living today, most of whom grew up after the anti-authoritarian transformation and therefore are not aware that a major political shift to the left of center has really happened. For them, the current socio-political mainstream is actually believed to be the true political center. This generation of confused idealistic young people are highly susceptible to the plague’s infectiveness. They are in danger of being easily swept up by the political rhetoric of the ” mainstream” extreme left. The public’s high level of support for government sponsored health care, Obamacare, is one example of people’s dependency on the state for their care and a symptom of the political redshift.

A Cardinal Sign Of An Emotional Plague Character

An important characteristic of individuals who are afflicted with the emotional plague is that they are incapable of doing an honest days work. Although they are unable to work productively, however, they are highly skilled in ordering others about what they should do. As a substitute for work, emotional plague individuals frequently become politicians shoving their political agendas down other people’s throats. The substitute activities of these ne’er-do-wells are, in fact, nothing but poorly recognized signs of the emotional plague.

In his recent book, Barack Obama: The Story, author David Maraniss provides a clear picture of such an individual’s work function. Obama hated his first job working at Business International after graduating from Colombia University. He called it ” working for the enemy” because some of the work he did for the company had to do with business investments in Third World countries. At Business International he felt uncomfortable: ” Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhatten office.” He lasted only a year before quitting. He then became an adept practitioner of political radical, Saul Alinsky’s methods. Obama became a community activist organizing residents on the Chicago South Side. According to his wife, Michelle Obama, ” Barack is not a politician first and foremost. He’s a community activist…” Obama took her assessment as a compliment. Subsequently, Obama attended Harvard law school, briefly practiced public interest law, taught a college class and finally got into politics where he found his calling.

To a biographer or a historian who has no understanding of the emotional plague, the work history of Mr. Obama is of no particular significance. To someone who recognizes the importance of the biological work function in determining the quality of human life, however, it speaks volumes: Simply put, it shows that Mr. Obama is biophysically incapable of doing any kind of rational, productive work from his biological core. (Operating as a community organizer is neither rational nor productive. It is activity that originates from the secondary destructive layer of a totally work-crippled individual and another sign of the emotional plague.)

No surprise then that, by any standard of measurement, Obama’s work performance as President of the United States has been an abysmal failure and that, if elected to a second term of office, it cannot be otherwise. Whether this country can survive another four years of destructiveness and ineptness at the executive level remains to be seen.
