The Tie That Binds

The real thread that stitches BLM, ANTIFA and Hamas together is global communism.

The protests in support of Hamas and the "Palestinians" have a dimension not many have discussed.

When you see groups rise in support of a group or "administrative area" ruled by savages who would casually murder many of the people who are supporting them, when you realize just how contradictory their actions are to the words they use (Hamas targeted Israeli civilians and now are crying to the UN that the IDF risks killing civilians in Gaza), and these groups are located all around the world, you must at least harbor the suspicion there is another thread that stitches these people together - and you would be right.

It's global communism.

Shocker, I know.

Marx's greatest dream, facilitated by people in the Frankfurt School, was to spread the oppressor/oppressed dynamic to economics, culture and now, race. It also requires a willful ignorance of history.

That “solidarity” explains why Western students are allied with BLM, ANTIFA and Hamas.

The only way these groups can achieve their ultimate desire of global rule is to create the chaos of oppressed/oppressor. It is hard to do in the Western world because this dynamic requires that these definitions are binary - you are either one or the other. In a socioeconomic system built on a meritocracy, that dynamic cannot exist because under capitalism, success and prosperity are relative – you can climb the socioeconomic ladder as far as you are capable of climbing - there are no clearly defined haves and have-nots.

America is still a place where a person can be stone cold broke today and bathed in wealth next year, simply because they had a better idea. Absolute poverty does not exist and the relative poverty that remains means that our poor have things the lower middle class in Europe do not. The poor in the Western world have prosperity the other 99% of the world does not. If a person makes $35,000 a year, they are in the top 1% of global incomes. $35,000 in America is below the government designated poverty line. Most of our poor have cars, air-conditioning, mobile phones, refrigerators, flat screen TVs hooked to cable.

Marxism is based on the idea of a revolution that deposes the oppressive bourgeoisie and frees the oppressed proletariat from their chains, but it is a fact that revolution can have no genesis among a contented people. Therefore, as any good Marxist knows, revolutions can be created. All it takes is to convince a contented people that 1) they are merely being fooled into their contentment and their liberty is merely an illusion, 2) their feeling of contentment is illegitimate because those feelings are based on some evil their forefathers committed in service to greedy capitalism and 3) taking pride that America achieved the role as the world’s only super-power is somehow illegitimate.

Simultaneously with building lives of relative leisure for our families complete with vacations, toys, sports, after-school enrichment classes and sports, America was growing generations of young people who simply expected things because they never had to work to attain them. They were convinced that not having an iPhone 15 within 24 hours of Apple releasing them was equivalent to the deprivation seen while growing up during the Great Depression. America succumbed to the “every child should go to college whether they can cut it or not” idea, only to have those institutions of “higher learning” cast out their students upon the land to discover all the reasons why we don’t deserve to harvest the fruits of the most successful country in the history of the world – and why those people who do should feel guilty about doing so.

Rather than taking pride in what we have accomplished (and continue to accomplish) as a country, Americans have now been convinced to go on a quest for the Marxist Holy Grail and to do that, the Marxists among us seek to sow strife and discontent when there is little real reason for it.

This is the primary reason the American political left had such a visceral and violent reaction to the election of Donald Trump. Trump’s populism presented a view of America exactly the opposite of the dystopian creation of the political left.

It’s also the reason American university professors and students, along with the cabal of the perpetually aggrieved, are cheering baby-murdering terrorists.
