Over at epictimes.com, there is a timely article by Richard Ebeling (also reposted at Zero Hedge): The Human Cost of Socialism in Power. Very sobering, this article presents accounts from personal journals and Soviet archives describing a decades-long extermination for the sake of a marxist/communist utopia. Socialism, when in power, blesses any means whatsoever to achieve its end. It has no scruples. The ideology itself is justification for any and every brutality.
Ebeling concludes:
When voices are raised today calling for socialism in America, including by those attempting to win a major party candidacy to run for the presidency of the United States, it is important – no, it is crucial – that the history and reality of socialism-in-practice in those parts of the world in which it was most thoroughly imposed and implemented be remembered and fully understood. If we do not, well, history has its own ways of repeating itself.
The Article as it Pertains to America
I think history is already repeating itself. Or rather, history has been repeating itself for some time, only the socialization of America has been planned and undertaken on a longer timeline than that of Russia, with a few notable exceptions. At the same time, America appears to be falling to a marxist fascism rather than a marxist communism. That may seem like a contradiction in terms, but I posit that socialism has found it necessary to cooperate with capitalism in America, there being no catalyst here (as yet) for a Bolshevik style revolution.
The revolution in America, rather, has been a moral revolution. It began mildly enough. Slowly over the course of the 20th century, women’s fashions became progressively less modest. In the 1950s, artificial contraception was invented, and the lie of sexual gratification without consequences was marketed (especially to women being pressured by selfish men) with unprecedented success, leading directly to the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Only, artificial contraception didn’t always work, so a remedy to “unwanted pregnancies” (you know, those consequences that shouldn’t have been there) was necessary.
The Supreme Court took it upon itself unilaterally to provide this remedy when, in 1973, it nullified every law in every state that forbade abortion. The court decided it was incompetent to decide when life began, so, choosing to err on the side of reckless abandon (you know, just to be safe) it established the abortion industry under the protections of “privacy”.
From the 1960s onward, the immodesty market has been put into overdrive. Ironically, any opposition to it, to contraception, or to abortion has been vilified as a “war on women”. In reality, there is a war on women, but it is being perpetrated by the other side. It is a war to wear down the moral stability women provide. It is a war to disassociate women from bearing new life, a war to turn them into mere objects of sexual gratification. It is the socialist side, not the orthodox side, that reduces women to their body parts.
It is no coincidence that the abolition of the family is a key plank of the Communist Manifesto. In America, however, the genocide that inevitably accompanies socialism in power is a hidden one, whose tens of millions of unborn victims are sacrificed to the ideology in the name of sexual freedom. Remember this the next time a socialist tells us, “It’s for the children.”
A Side Point that’s to the Point
Obamacare, which is a step towards socialized medicine, also has its roots in the destruction of the family. It is a fact that the abortion industry was in trouble. For one thing, it was becoming harder and harder for the industry to find new abortionists. For another, the individual states were finding ways to limit abortion and cut off funding to the abortion industry.
The ACA was, in part, an elaborate bailout of the abortion industry. Is it any coincidence that Obamacare mandates every insurance policy provide contraceptive coverage and that every American purchase this coverage? Why do this when contraception is universally available anyway? The fact is, the abortion industry needs your money in order to survive. You see, the number of abortions peaked at around 1.6 million per year in the early 90s. Since then, the annual number of abortions has decreased steadily. Is this any surprise for a business model that gradually (and literally) eliminates its consumer? Is it any surprise that Planned Parenthood has turned to the human tissue market to make up the difference?
The Human Cost of Socialism in America
What is the human cost of socialism in power in America?
- 57.7 million dead babies (disproportionately black)
- Millions of wounded mothers
- A “wanted dead but alive” market for fetal human tissue
- Possibly the loss of an Einstein, Mozart, Pasteur or Edison
- Rampant failed marriages
- Large populations of fatherless children
- A coming demographic winter
