A Generation of Communist

 One of the things I have noticed over the past five years is the lack of respect from the younger generation. The younger generation is selfish, prejudiced, and unbalanced. The amount of rudeness and the loss of politeness and manners indicates society's total decay. 

Jesus warned us that this time would come.

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Lk. 12:53

For Americans who weren't alive under the Cuban Missile Crisis or the fall of the Berlin Wall, Communism is just an economic system, not a political one. But rebellious youth challenging the anti-communism status quo is not the only explanation for these pro-communism views. Modern politicians, both Republicans, and Democrats, should be criticized.

Republican rhetoric has softened Communism by associating socialism with Communism, making redistributive political systems more appealing to young people disillusioned with American inequality. And influential Democrats such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, who liken democratic-socialist countries to nirvana, certainly do not help to promote liberty and freedom.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you probably know that most of the younger generation believes that socialism is a good idea. They vote for it and march for it and convince your kids of it through entertainment and social media. Unfortunately, they learned this in the very progressive public school system.

"70 percent of Millennials say they are likely to vote socialist."

"15 percent of Millennials think the world would be better off if the Soviet Union still existed." Maybe they should speak with someone from Russia today who lived under Communism. Russians are happy Communism is gone.

"About one-in-five Millennials (22 percent) believe that 'society would be better if all private property was abolished,' compared to 1 percent of the Silent Generation." (Karl Marx would agree.)

"45 percent of Generation Z and Millennials believe that 'all higher education should be free.'"

"Only 57 percent of Millennials believe the Declaration of Independence better 'guarantees freedom and equality' over the Communist Manifesto." (Clearly, they have read neither document.)

You may be thinking: How is this possible?

I think I have an answer for you. The U.S. government education system is brainwashing today's youth to believe that capitalism is evil while indoctrinating students with utopian, false, and fairy-tale notions about socialism and Communism." 

Though never successful (as far as the citizenry was concerned), Communism has spread to countries over the past 100 years, including China, North Korea, Cuba, Viet Nam, and others. The stories of those who lived under it are horrific. 

When the Berlin Wall was torn down on November 9, 1989, it symbolized the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the liberation of more than 300 million people from the tyrannical grip of Communism. We in the west celebrated the start of a new era of democracy and freedom, one we were told was possibly endless. Yet a mere 30 years later, communist parties are gaining ground, and the free world is shrinking — in size and spirit. 

In December of 1955, my parents turned their lives over to the LORD and served the LORD from that time on. As a seven-year-old child, my church taught me what was coming in the future, Biblically and politically. As a young teen, I knew about Communism and how it threatened freedom and liberty. 

Sitting in a biology class in high school right after lunch, our teacher, in tears, informed us that President Kennedy was shot and killed. My first thoughts were America was being taken over by the communist. By the time I graduated high school, things had not looked good for America. There was unrest all over the county. Then on April 5, 1968, Martin Luther King was murdered, and Bobby Kennedy was shot two months later. The country had rioters destroying cities across the country burning and looting just like wwe saw in 2020-2021. That was 1968. America was in tears as rioters were destroying our nation. 

At the time, the consequences of what had happened in 1968 did not register with me that America was being destroyed by Communism. The words often credited to Khrushchev are today valid, "Your children's children will live under Communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept Communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands." I wonder if he said this, but the statement is true. America's education system is based on socialism, and it has given us a generation of socialists who accept the idealogy of Communism.

 Freedom and liberty will cease to exist when you take away from those willing to work and give to those who would not. The COVID lockdown proved this to be true and we have not recoved from that economic decision.

The government education system has given us a generation that has accepted the tenants of Communism when they have accepted government control in the areas of:

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.

3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way, you can increase taxes, which will produce 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 (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them entirely dependent on the Government.

6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the Government knowing what is best for the people.

8) Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to tax the rich with the support of the poor.

Fast forward to December 2022. How did we arrive at a country we can no longer recognize?

In March 2020, America was locked down due to COVID. We lost many of our unalienable rights, especially those of the first amendment. That summer, Antifa and Black Lives Matter looted and torched the entire country. America was set ablaze, but the Insurrection Act was never used on these communist organizations.

Communism isn't on its way; it's alive and well in the American government halls and government-run public schools.
