How Long Can a Country Survive the Presence of Those Who Wish to Destroy It?
As pro-Islamic Republic of Iran Marxists rally in Chicago, the U.S. is finding out.

So many people inside the United States believe the left’s narrative about the United States today, the question becomes very real: can the nation survive the presence within it of a large and growing population of people who hate it and wish to see it destroyed?

For the left, the truth doesn’t matter as much as the narrative. And if the narrative is incendiary enough, and they can convince enough people to believe it, it could indeed be destructive, and even bring the whole nation down, with incalculable effects for the world at large. The narrative that the left is pushing hard right now is a variation on a theme it has harped upon repeatedly since the war in Vietnam and even before that, from the time of the beginning of the Cold War.

The claim is that the United States is a rapacious imperialist power that sows destruction across the earth in the name of its own narrow self-interests, political, cultural, and economic. It exploits smaller states around the globe out of a racist idea of white supremacy, plundering them of their wealth and destroying the earth’s climate in the process. It trumps up wars in order to do this, hypocritically advancing under the banners of “freedom” and “democracy” while pursuing unmistakably colonialist ends. And it demonizes those who are genuinely fighting for freedom against its monstrous, rapacious power.

And so we come to one Joe Iosbaker, a 67-year-old leader of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), which describes itself as “a national organization of revolutionaries fighting for socialism in the United States. Our home is in the working class.” FRSO’s rhetoric is pure 1930s-era Marxist agitprop, as if the Stalinist purges, the gulags, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Khmer Rouge killing fields had never existed: “We are organizing the united front against monopoly capitalism — with the strategic alliance of the multinational working class and oppressed nationality movements at its core. This is our general strategy for revolution in the U.S.”

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

                  Cicero About 2500 years ago

Ask the Israelis who have to deal with Palestinian Arabs ... or the Romans (overrun by barbarians they let into the Empire) ... or the Britons (overrun by the Saxons they brought in as mercenaries) ... or the Visigoths (overun by the Moors they invited to help one side fight a Visigoth civil war) ... or the Ottomans (who conquered the Balkans but never fully subjugated and converted the Slavic, Romanian, and Greek Christians) ... empires crumble from within under the weight of maintaining imperial rule ... happened to Spain after the Napoleonic Wars ... happened to France, Britain, and the Netherlands after WWII.
