a. Communism
---------------------------
"Two men are in line waiting to buy vodka. An hour goes by, then two, and the line barely moves. Everyone is in a terrible mood. Finally, one of the men can’t take it any longer. 'This is it! I’m sick of this kind of life. Everywhere there are lines, you cannot buy anything, and the store shelves are empty. I’ve had enough. I’m going to the Kremlin right now to assassinate him.' The man returns after two hours, still angry, and says, 'To hell with it! At the Kremlin the line to assassinate Gorbachev is longer than this one.'" - Unknown
"This man enters a shop where there's nothing except white tiles on the walls, an empty sales counter, a cashier, and some bare shelves. The man asks one of the clerks: 'You guys have no meat in this shop?' Shop worker answers: 'Nah; we have no bread here. No meat you find in the shop one block down the road.'" - Unknown
"Dear diary: It is very difficult to remove a communist regime peacefully." - Twitter, revelation17_14
”Host: The struggle of class against class is a what struggle?
Marx: A political struggle.” - Monty Python
"Commies are never first choice of The Peoples. They lay around like snakes in the grass and strike at the first sign of chaos." - Unknown
"#Brussels is creating an Orwellian world in front of our eyes. They buy and supply weapons through the #EuropeanPeaceFacility. They want to control the media through the #MediaFreedomAct. We didn't fight the communists to end up in 1984!" -@PM_ViktorOrban
"I can't impart it to anybody who hasn't been there. Standing in the security line in the airport. If you want to know what it's like to be in the Soviet Union, you are in the Soviet Union. In that moment, you are in the Soviet Union. You're in a line waiting for something, and at the end of that line, a lot of bad things can happen to you. People don't think that way. But in reality though...” – Simon Mikhailovich
"Bernie Sanders is a communist who was so lazy that he got kicked out of a hippie commune. He went on to be a Senator in the U.S. Congress for the rest of his life with the support of a fanatical nationwide cult following. I think about that a lot." - Unknown
“For Americans, the car is the American way. Jay Gatsby roars through capitalism, individual freedom, and the good life. For China, the train is the metaphor. Everyone's on board, there's no chance to steer, and it's clickety-clack to collectivism's dreams.” ― Mei Fong, One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment
"The four Communist activities: Infiltrate, Agitate, Desecrate, Confiscate.
The three Communist targets: Family, Religion, Property." - Unknown
"Communism is when ugly deformed freaks make it illegal to be normal then rob and/or kill all successful people out of petty resentment and cruelty. The ideology is all just window dressing." - Mystery Grove Publishing Co.
"Communism considers morality to be relative, to be a class matter. Depending upon...the political situation, any act, including murder, even the killing of hundreds of thousands, could be good or could be bad. It all depends upon class ideology. And who defines this ideology?" - Unknown
"Summed up in a single sentence, the plans of the communists aim at the abolition of private property. From there, other major demands follow, such as abolishing the family, nation, and countries, and finally, as Marx noted, 'communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality.' In as much as the program of liberalism 'if condensed into a single word….is private ownership of the means of production' (as described by Ludwig von Mises), the program of the communists is the abolition of private property." - Unknown
"Fascism, Nazism, Commmunism, and Socialism are only superficial variations of the same monstrous theme - collectivism." - Ayn Rand
"You and others here, remind me of Gibbis from Doctor Who. He took a strange delight in being subjugated. You should read up on him: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Gibbis
- All I want to do is go home and be conquered and oppressed. Is that too much to ask?
- Resistance is exhausting." - Unknown
"People are property to them; property of the collective, and people who are property cannot be allowed to make decisions without oversight. Try to walk away from us, and we’ll kill you." - Unknown
"Communism. That's exactly what it is. Your either one of them or you're a target. And they eat their own." - Unknown
"1) Healthcare– Control healthcare, and you control the people
2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way, you can increase taxes, producing more poverty.
4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way, you can create a police state.
5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and what children learn in school.
7) Religion – Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools
8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to take (Tax) the rich with the support of the poor" - Saul Alinsky paraphrased
"How to do communism:
1) Establish a new communist utopia
2) Rob or kill the successful
3) Force the rest to work for free
4) Run out of food
5) Starve to death
6) Say it wasn't 'real' communism
7) Go back to step 1)" - Unknown
"This is why the Left, every time it comes into power in a country—be it the Soviets in Russia, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, or the Red Guard in China—sets out on a campaign of exterminationist violence." - Unknown
"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.” ~ Karl Marx
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." - George Orwell, Animal Farm
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth, luxury, long life, or happiness; only power, pure power…." - Unknown
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy." - WEF Ad.
"We will own everything and never be happy." - Unknown, corollary to WEF ad above.
"Translation: We are stealing everything and will remove you if you resist." - Unknown
"The positive significance of Bolshevism may be that having removed the mask and showed everyone Satan in his undisguised form, he led many through confidence in the reality of Satan to faith in God." - Nikolay Trubetskoy, 'We and Others', Eurasian Times, Berlin, 1925
b. Totalitarianism
---------------------------
"Freedom to do exactly what the government wants you to do and say isn’t freedom. It’s imprisonment dressed up as freedom." - Unknown
"Know the outcome and you'll see the journey. Totalitarian tiptoe." - David Icke
"You already know what the destination looks like. You have seen it: Totalitarian USSR, Totalitarian Germany, Totalitarian China, Cuba, Cambodia. It is a playbook that has been around for millennia. There is nothing particularly new about Marxism in that regard." - Unknown
"Imagine being so naive that you think the only path to totalitarianism is through government." - Unknown
"Autocratic absolute dictatorial regimes always include 'Democratic' and/or 'Republic' in their self-descriptions:
- Deutsche Democratic Republic
- Democratic People's Republic of North Korea
- Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
- The Republic of Cuba
The more they scream 'defending democracy' the more totalitarian you can count on them being." - Unknown
"One party state = one path to wealth" - Unknown
"The degree to which you oppose free speech is the degree to which you're a fascist.
The degree to which you oppose free markets is the degree to which you're a communist.
The degree to which you oppose both is the degree to which you're a totalitarian." - Unknown
"A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud." ~ George Orwell
"Totalitarianism arises not because humans want to oppress others gratuitously but because they believe so fervidly in their cause's righteousness that they are willing to break the eggs of freedom to make the omelet of social justice." - Unknown
