Candi C Debaca - a Communist on the Denver city council

“I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new, and I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources and distribution of those resources,” she continued. “And whatever that morphs into is I think what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary.”  dailycaller quoting CDebaca

We have long had an official Communist Party in the US.  This party has regularly put forward candidates for office.  I don't know of any having won office.  We should remember that John Brennan voted Communist in a presidential election before he joined the CIA. The CPUSA has always been made up of two sections 1 - The visible part and 2 - the occulted (hidden) section that was altogether the tool first of the Comintern and then later of the intelligence services of the USSR, NKVD, etc.  Members of this latter section lived under cover as non-Communists.

IMO a Communist cannot legally take the oath of office that everyone above the status of dogcatcher takes in the US on assuming office.  Such oaths always contain a phrase in which the oath taker legally swears to "defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and domestic."  The governmental structures built by the US Constitution inherently limit the power of a "vanguard party" as it would inevitably try to move toward a "dictatorship of the proletariat."   CDebaca's red new deal would clearly require a dictatorship of the proletariat.  The Bill of Rights  (first ten amendments of the US Constitution) would stand squarely in the path of the realization of Candi's reverie.

Brennan's false oath taking should have been challenged in court.  Candi's false oath taking should be challenged in court.  pl

Brennan's hiring and rise in the CIA certainly says something about "security" in the Fed and "counterintelligence" is actually non intelligence.

[divadab]

The reason socialists and communists are capturing minds is because the oligarchy (aka our traitorous ruling class) has sold out the native working class for the past 40 years (since St. Regan), impoverishing and immiserating them while grabbing more and more of the pie for their greedy psychopathic selves.

As long as we have a ruling class that holds native American working class people in contempt, feels no obligation or duty towards them, this trend will continue. Apparently the Democrap party mantra is like this:

"Brown people good, white people bad;
Illegal immigrants good, citizens bad;
Women and trans people good, men bad."

Because the whole political process is a controlled show, by people who lie habitually, and who are devoted to maintaining the status quo which maintains their and their patrons' status. No flipping wonder people are fed up and mad.

When Brennan voted for Gus Hall (CPUSA) in '76 does anyone know if he was actually a member of CPUSA?
Or was it a stupid college student "protest" vote?

"By Any Means Necessary" is also the name of a leftwing political group.

"CdeBaca wrote an extensive thank you message to her supporters June 5 on Facebook."
"The crazy, insane idea to run against an 8 year incumbent being groomed for mayor in the most expensive district—with no plan, no team, nada—-we made it happen!"

Capitalism is a failed system (that created companies like Facebook!), once I'm in charge (I'll collectivize Facebook?) Free stuff for all my supporters! See ya after Juneteenth! You got all the victim groups identified. Congratulations. Capitalism failed so badly in America that millions are marching here. I wonder what system they use back home?

I also wonder what the vote rate of "undocumented" residents was.

"A driver’s license or identification card issued to not lawfully present and temporarily lawfully present individuals under Part 5 of Article 2 of Title 42, C.R.S." I'm sure those driver's licenses say "not lawfully present individual" somewhere on them.

John Minnerath - First met him when I was DATT in Saudi at Jiddah and he was a flunky analyst working for Alan Feiers who was then COS in the same embassy. He and his boss were two of the nastiest pieces of work I had seen in a long career.

[jon stanley]

because SOME of the things you note are valid, to some extent, sometimes, by some elites, it is justification for picking a dictatorial system to support? If so, then the 'native working class' will get what they deserve.

[Eugene Owens]

I never understood why Gus Hall, the son of Finn immigrants, continued to pimp for Stalin after the VVS bombed civilians in Helsinki and Vyborg during the Soviet-Finn War. He probably lost some cousins there. Didn't he ever get a pang of conscience?

[Factotum]

JFK unionized public employees. That is your new power base; the public sector unions. It is critical to distinguish between government tax dollar paid workers and private sector workers.

One cannot lump the "working class" together for these politically strategic reasons. Two very different power structures. Even though they are both workers. One group of workers bargain with elected public officials; the other group of workers bargains with private industry management.

[Sbin]

A cooperative run by citizens for their mutual benefit is a greater good.
Often private interests use government coercion to prevent such activities.
Government control requires coercion and is often evil and incompetent.
Empty headed do gooders are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.

[turcopolier]

Sbin Can something the size of GM be run that way? How about a chain of restaurants? Should chains like McDonalds be allowed to run on franchises? Do you not fear the Cheka and the dictatorship of the proletariat. Was Marxim-Leninism good for people in the Warsaw Pact?

[Fred]

Factotum,

No he did not. You might want to correct your facts and then read up on Janus V. AFSME.

Hallabina - You are a Communist. Admit it. Your crap about how bed things are in the States is exactly the kind of thing I used to hear from Communist propagandists all over the world. We do NOT want to live in a tyranny and this is not one. If it were I would long ago have been imprisoned.

[Fred]

Hallabina,

Facebook is collectivized? You mean you don't own as much as Mark Zuckerberg nor that you have just as much influence running that company as Sheryl Sandburg, thus you put a new meaning to the word collectivized. " completely discredited", which is why all those people keep coming here.

[turcopolier]

Hallabine - Well, "Yolande of Jerusalem." You be a Communist and I could care less what you a think.

[elaine]

Hallabina, Please give us an idea of your current net worth so we may better access how much you're putting at risk. I'm guessing not much.

The people of Hong Kong are showing immense courage in standing up to the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party. They understand what is at stake when they lose what limited liberty they have.

Some 1.6 million protesting for days. That would be the equivalent of 50 million Americans out on our streets. We never protested the unPatriot Act, or mass surveillance or the neocon lies. Would we easily slide with limited dissent to either a fascist or communist dictatorship? It seems we're sliding into a Deep State stranglehold with nary a peep.

[akaPatience]

Collectivists of today have a lot more history to refer to than did their predecessors. That they refuse to acknowledge the greater degree of failure and oppression of their chosen economic systems when compared to capitalism shows a want of objective and rational thinking. It's puzzling when Sweden, with a population that's less than 1/30th of the US, is cited as an exemplar, as if extrapolation of a tiny, more-homogeneous country is a practicable comparison.

Bottom line (pun intended): Utopians are envious, irrational ideologues.

Here's a video that went viral a while back featuring conservative Ben Shapiro and a self-proclaimed socialist:

There are some historical remedies for excessive inequality and they are called the French and Russian revolutions. Hopefully, they will remain historical. The erosion of trust in the civic institutions is dangerous and the only remedy I know of is for the public to avoid voting for anyone who wants the job.You can rest assured that they are doing so for their own reasons and not yours.

As long as capitalism is defined as increasing or keeping market share, rather than innovating, the support for it will deteriorate. When you spend more money on lobbying than on R&D, you are making yourself more irrelevant.

I also know that deterioration is frequently incremental, but progress can be found taking big strides, at times even revolutionary ones, and crushing status quo.

[MP98]

What nation are you from?
English is obviously not your native language.

[J]

Colonel

How did Brennan get past the Agency's security screening process?
And with some of the crap he's been pulling lately, IMO merits his prosecution.

J

[joanna]

Well, being you a Colonel and taking into account your background, I will not admit anything if it is not in the presence of my lawyer ....

explain. sounds a bit silly.

Are you American? ... Serious?

my burgueoisied friends

La Bourgeoisie could well be called "kreakliat" nowadays. The ones starting revolutions and maybe counterrevolutions too.

OK your "bourgeoisised friends"? Means what exactly? The American "Lumpen" kreakliat starting the counterrevolution?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpenproletariat

Did Pat invent you? For your task here?

[turcopolier]

joanna/LeAnder/polysciprof - No, I did not invent her. I do not invent people but she/he/it/they are so outrageous that the next time it talks like that I will ban it.

[turcopolier]

J - Glad to see you are commenting again. We need a CI mind in the group. Evidently some idiot or idiots in CIA Security thought that this had been a youthful indiscretion. Surely, this then handsome, Jesuit educated young fellow could not be a secret Communist.

[turcopolier]

joanna - VPNs are deceptinve but this critter's IP address is in northern Spain. Probably an idiot student.

[Morongobill]

Got to say this- the commies finally found a pretty face.
