Taliban Rightwingers love to scare about communism, while they let the Republican Party sell US interests to multinational corporations and the 0.1% of Americans.

40 years of Reaganism has left the middle class of the US in shambles... all because of capitalism.

I don't deny that there is and long has been an orchestrated, communist assault on America from without and within. I have read enough from fact based academic sources to not deny that outright. They do seek inroads with people of power and on policies. So do the local, national and global capitalists. But the impacts have been mostly modest and have little chance of "succeeding" in regime change way. They are just not that good and not that pervasive. They couldn't get far in the 1930s, didn't get far in the 60's and while some are still trying I doubt they get far now or anytime soon. Western efforts in Russia and China are longstanding too and probably with modest impact.

And when the messenger carries only biased messages there are no legitimate topics and issues to be discussed.
If words have meanings we can put to bed the idea that Trevor Loudon isn't an expert.
He clearly is an expert by definition !!! Any claim he isn't is up hill and yet to be seen.

We are watching the effects of congressional inaction and should know what is behind it !!!

Communism Expert on What’s Behind the Push for Open Borders
https://www.theepochtimes.com/commun...s_2941964.html

This is an orchestrated, communist assault on America, to destroy America’s borders, to create confusion in America, to overwhelm the system politically
Communists, Socialists and Progressives, are three entirely different groups. How can someone write an article if they are too stupid to understand the three.
Oh none of the three have ever governed any country.

Should we down play the threat, as you do, or expose it and be aware of it ?
That's really up to everyone to decide.
If we want to look at things that effect policy its worth looking at. IMO !!!

I wonder how someone could be so foolish as to dismiss it without looking at what he has to say on all three ?

I’ve talked to a good number of legitimate communists online. I probably wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t interacted with them.

I’m sure it’s a mix of people from different countries and they’re not a significant political group right now, but I think they’re more prevalent than the nazis and white supremacists we hear so much about.

Clinton and Obama had 16 years to do something about it.

What Happened ? They supported Globalism !!!
International companies ruling countries through one means or another.

Really, my main concern is the spread of collectivist ideas. Even if it’s not strict communism, you still have a lot of people pushing the idea that individual rights are less important than “society as a whole”, and that’s where it gets scary.

People’s ideas shape their society, and the most important idea is that every single human has rights that need to be respected...even if some greater societal goal is achieved by violating them.

Communism is the taking of collectivism to its logical conclusion, but any stop along the way is also evil.
