‘Don’t call me a communist’
I am reminded of the various fables about the scorpion and the frog, and the farmer and the snake.

The current crop of communists is, and has been, running for government offices as “Democratic Socialists,” which sounds better; more benign, more friendly. But make no mistake, they are communists.
I am reminded of the various fables about the scorpion and the frog, and the farmer and the snake. Both the frog and the farmer took in and helped deadly creatures, only to get themselves killed by each, respectively. The moral of both fables is that you never knowingly allow a deadly creature into your life or your home or your country.
Yet here America is, taking in venomous, poisonous, deadly creatures into their body politic. The saddest, most dangerous aspect of this American largesse is that the creatures’ deadly nature is being obscured by a turn of phrase; Democratic Socialist vs. Communist. They are communists using the Democrat party to advance communism.
America’s body has unfathomably and knowingly welcomed into its bloodstream a cancerous ticking time bomb. If this disease is permitted to take hold, if the “Democratic Socialists” are permitted to hold high office, the disease will kill this body. America cannot survive communists in high places.
Unfortunately, and again, unfathomably, somehow communists now are elected officials. They don’t call themselves communists, but they are wearing all the right anti-capitalist clothing. Mamdani et al. have indicated they want to do the one thing that communists always do: seize the means of production. But they start smaller: “Turn your thermostats to 78°.” Once Mamdani sees that people won’t do that, it will become a problem of power companies’ unwillingness to work “for the common good” and so the communists will have to seize the power companies and inflict thermostat control on every living space and working space. Except Mamdani’s and the other government parasites’ of course.
We are in a place I never believed I would see. I’m old enough to remember when Americans had the same patriotic love for the country and would fight on the battlefields to save her. No longer. We have two Americas now, one of which wants reparations and to return “stolen land” to the so-called rightful owners.
