How Does it Feel to Live in This ‘Newfound’ Communist Country?

By Gary D. Barnett

“Communism is what happens when Socialists realize that they want complete control over every aspect of human life.”
~ A.E. Samaan



Let us forget about any alleged “Constitutional Republic,” or any democracy, Fascist, Socialist, or any other evident political leanings in the U.S., and just concentrate on reality. The United States today is based more on a Communist society than any other single political system or ideology; so much so as to now follow almost to the letter, the entirety of the ten planks of Communism. To argue against this certainty, is not only short-sided, but fails to meet any test of accuracy whatsoever. To accept this may be difficult for those living in an imagined dream world called ‘the land of the free,’ but once accepted and acknowledged, a move forward becomes possible. In order to grow and prosper, one must accept truth and reality, and face it, or forever live and die in chains.

The control measures put into place over the past two- and-a-half years have been telling in one sense and tyrannical in another. Telling, in that the voluntary compliance by the masses was almost universal, indicating that the test of obedience due to fake ‘viruses’ designed by the state was successful, as most all did as they were told. Of course, the results of this were completely tyrannical, as extensive damage was done due to lockdowns, loss of the ability to support self and family, psychological torture, depression, suicide, poisonous injections, abandonment of family, masks, ‘distancing,’ and immune system destruction. Due to these plotted outcomes, extreme sickness was evident, which only helped the evil state in its efforts to promote fear and hate. The fact that this was designed and not accidental was totally lost on most, as they acquiesced to state terror willingly, acting as a collective herd of sheep awaiting slaughter.

While most all in this country would balk at any suggestion that Communism was not only present, but the leading ideology of this governing system, that is exactly what has taken place over time, and now resides as the mainstay of this push toward global power and control. The U.S. leads in this carnage due to its status in this world, and the completely false belief by the citizenry that this is the freest and most ‘democratic,’ and ‘exceptional’ country on earth. It is certainly not anything of the kind. The gradual metamorphosis from what was falsely considered true freedom to a near outright Communist state, was able to remain hidden from most due to massive propaganda, gullibility, gross nationalism, and the notion that it could never happen here.

Communism as described by many, while falsely presented as “for the benefit of the people,” is a system based on lies, propaganda, and total control over all conditions of life, from a top-down structure where the state claims total power. This structure fits in perfectly with a technocratically-run state, as only the few retain power over the masses, and through technological means, are able to control all movement, monetary policies, supply and demand of energy and food, surveillance, and access or not to life sustaining necessities. This system will also likely address and demand the implementation of tracking and tracing of all human activity through facial recognition, passports, chips, monitoring and control of most all spending, and also the constant monitoring of day-to-day activities. This is of course, contingent on this population continuing to allow its own takeover by the oppressive state.

Communism is not the single ideology of this country, as aspects of socialism, blind democracy, and extreme fascism are present, among others as well, but consider that the ten planks of Communism are already either fully in place, or are being put into place today. A brief overview of the planks will bear out the existence of a Communist state of affairs in America.

The abolition of property ownership has not been fully implemented, but is well on its way to becoming the norm. As this fake scam of ‘covid’ has advanced, the government has taken over much more land and property, mainly through its proxy partners on Wall Street and the big banking conglomerates. Huge inflationary expansion, will continue to drive more state ownership of private property. In addition, the government now owns most every mortgage in this country, leaving all liability on the backs of the lowly taxpayers, and over time has confiscated (stolen) hundreds of millions of acres falsely called ‘public’ land.

A heavy and graduated income tax has been in place for 100 years, and while rights of inheritance are not completely restricted, all structures are in place to affect this if the state desires.

The confiscation of the property of ‘rebels’ has been discussed, and the theft of the property of those non-compliant citizens has been actively pursued and accomplished in some instances already, as new laws and mandates supposedly protecting government by censoring and controlling speech and action are becoming more prevalent.

The centralization of credit, a central banking system, and the monopoly of capital has been advancing greatly since 1913, and is controlled by the ruling ‘elite’ and their state enforcers. This plank is fully entrenched, as is the control and the monitoring of the means of communication and transportation.

The equal obligation of all to work, or in other words, to force by necessity or violence the idea of support for the lie called the ‘common good,’ has been entrenched here for a long time, and is becoming even more so today.

The combining of agriculture with the manufacturing industry is almost completely in place, as farms, ranches, food production and distribution have for the most part been destroyed and/or taken over, and certainly controlled by government policy and regulation.

As to abolishing the distinction between town and country by a more ‘equitable’ distribution of the population, just consider what is and has been happening over the past 3 years, mainly due to tyrannical government action that was planned from the beginning. The redistribution of the population due to the chaos, looting, violence, murder, and severe mandates and restrictions in cities by government, has caused a mass exodus to more remote areas; in effect, spreading out the population, and infiltrating the higher resistance areas with those used to being more controlled.

As to the last plank of Communism, and certainly not the least, was the building of a ‘free’ ‘education’ system for all children in government public schools; the most evil scheme meant only to dumb down and indoctrinate all children, affecting generations of this population. This alone has caused all-consuming brainwashing, and promotes undeveloped brains to accept blind obedience as a way of life. As far as controlling the masses is concerned, this is possibly the most important of all the Communist planks to have been implemented in order to increase the power of the state. In fact, the schooling system is currently being used to sicken and destroy the bodies, minds, and psyche of the next generations due to abominable propaganda, poisonous bio-weapon injections, sexual manipulation, teaching hate and racism; all in its quest to destroy history and tradition in favor of neo-Marxist idiocy.

As you can see, the United States is a true melting pot, in the sense that most every oppressive and tyrannical political ideology that has ever existed, has been accepted with open arms, especially the idea of Communism, which in my opinion, is the mainstay of this massive push by the ruling class and their government whores, to position themselves as the masters of the world in this new world order being aggressively pursued today.

The resistance and pushback against certain aspects of this takeover by more and more people is happening, but it must be understood that voting, dependence on the political system, and minor resistance without actionable disobedience will not be enough to stop this onslaught of totalitarian rule. Each of us must resist all tyranny, and not allow government or its enforcers to advance this agenda of dominance over us. We can win the day, but it will take very large numbers of independent individuals standing together en masse.

Realize what is actually happening, ignore the mandates and lies, see the rampant hypocrisy that is everywhere, do not be afraid of what you will find, and take your freedom from the grasp of these despicable, political, and corporate monsters called the state.


A mixture of gullibility and cynicism had been an outstanding characteristic of mob mentality before it became an everyday phenomenon of masses. In an ever-changing, incomprehensible, world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything is possible and that nothing was true. The mixture in itself was remarkable enough, because it spelled the end of the illusion that gullibility was a weakness of unsuspecting primitive souls and cynicism the vice of superior and refined minds. Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

The Ten Planks of Communism


1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.

The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868) to give the government far more "eminent domain" power than was originally intended, Under the rubric of "eminent domain" and various zoning regulations, land use regulations by the Bureau of Land Management property taxes, and "environmental" excuses, private property rights have become very diluted and private property in landis, vehicles, and other forms are seized almost every day in this country under the "forfeiture" provisions of the RICO statutes and the so-called War on Drugs.


2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), and various State income taxes, established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago. These taxes continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary increases.


3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Another Marxian attack on private property rights is in the form of Federal & State estate taxes and other inheritance taxes, which have abolished or at least greatly diluted the right of private property owners to determine the disposition and distribution of their estates upon their death. Instead, government bureaucrats get their greedy hands involved .


4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

We call it government seizures, tax liens, "forfeiture" Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.


5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a "national bank" and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.


6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

In the U.S., communication and transportation are controlled and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established by the Communications Act of 1934 and the Department of Transportation and the Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887), and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders 11490, 10999 -- not to mention various state bureaucracies and regulations. There is also the federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL -- outright socialist (government-owned) enterprises. Instead of free-market private enteprrise in these important industries, these fields in America are semi-cartelized through the government's regulatory-industiral complex.


7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

While the U.S. does not have vast "collective farms" (which failed so miserably in the Soviet Union), we nevertheless do have a significant degree of government involvement in agriculture in the form of price support subsidies and acreage alotments and land-use controls. The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Evironmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.


8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. And I almost forgot...The Equal Rights Amendment means that women should do all work that men do including the military and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.


9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

We call it the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.


10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

People are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" .
 
The resistance and pushback against certain aspects of this takeover by more and more people is happening, but it must be understood that voting, dependence on the political system, and minor resistance without actionable disobedience will not be enough to stop this onslaught of totalitarian rule. Each of us must resist all tyranny, and not allow government or its enforcers to advance this agenda of dominance over us. We can win the day, but it will take very large numbers of independent individuals standing together en masse.

I agree...been saying this for years.

"We" have the manpower, tools, the law, the moral high ground, history and precedent on our side.

All "we" lack is the will and courage to use them.
 
...Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887), and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders 11490, 10999 -- not to mention various state bureaucracies and regulations. There is also the federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL -- outright socialist (government-owned) enterprises.

This needs updating. The ICC has been officially dead for a great while now, and Conrail collapsed as well, with most of its routes either abandoned or incorporated into CSX and Norfolk Southern. Instead, we have a situation where there are essentially four railroads. There are others, but they are small and not connected to each other.

In place of the ICC we have the FRA, which is even more intrusive than the ICC ever was. Amtrak, of course, is still with us. It was a completely avoidable "solution" to a problem created by the ICC, which made it impossible for those railroads that wanted to continue offering passenger service to be able to afford to do it (a few tried, and found that Amtrak refused to cooperate in ticketing, scheduling and station management). This, naturally, was entirely accomplished by a Republican administration. In fact, it was the brainchild of CIA fanboi and key Watergate figure John Erlichman.

Well, it does. A short answer, and true. This isn't just boomer nostalgia. The quality of life should have improved markedly, given the technical advances of the last forty years. It has not.

My grandfather had a ninth grade education. He raised a family with four kids in Walnut Creek, CA on his income as a machinist. This was a large property that they paid cash for. He retired in twenty years with a fat pension.

Hell yeah it sucks ass. They have done nothing but place obstacles in front of us and destroy individual prosperity.

Sounds like something that needs to be said in this thread:
