Like so much of history, most people seem horribly confused on what communism is.
It is far more about a totalitarian system where they force you to think, act, believe and especially speak, in a certain way conforming to Marxist/PoMo ideas than it is an economic thing. Economics was a means to an end. Even most communists know it didn’t work. So they are trying another method now.
This is a pretty good barometer on how far it has come.
This now quite old video from Bill Whittle helps fill in the blanks for anyone who doesn’t see the connection:
At the 4:32 mark in the Whittle video, he mentions the move in 1934 of the Institute for Social Research out of Frankfurt, Germany to Columbia University in NYC. Direct link to that segment of video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrt6msZmU7Y&t=4m33s
Interesting details which coincide with the above subject matter was mentioned in an interview of Diana West, author of “American Betrayal”, by Peter Barry Chowka during which they discuss the animosity between Edward R. Murrow of CBS and Senator Joseph McCarthy.
The overlap with Whittle’s mention of the Marxists arrival in the US is in this video clip preset to begin at 33:07:
The first video: The left wants a civil war but they want the ordinary people who believe in the old values to start it thinking that their control of the Propaganda Media will allow them to turn the public against the people fighting for freedom. When the civil war starts the left doesn’t stand a chance, They have destroyed Western Civilization and they may destroy the US Constitution but the free people of the US will never surrender to the communist overlords. The forces of freedom will win, it may be a tribal based freedom but the idea of freedom will survive and slowly work to recreate what the left has destroyed.

Rodney King
Q: What are the rules of Los Angeles poker?
A: Four clubs beat a King.
There’s not much in the way of wondering why those Los Angeles cops were so enraged at King. Just the endangerment of public bystanders and other citizen drivers during a 100+ MPH (160+ KPH) chase, not to mention the serious risk to pursuing LEOs, merited some extensive and prolonged kinetic therapy.
Resisting arrest, making a lewd display, lunging at an officer and contacting him physically (no less) was altogether sufficient grounds for having a six pack of whoopass opened up on this miscreant.
Ironically, the person Rodney King waggled his @ss at was California Highway Patrol Officer Melanie Singer. Many would say her albeit hesitant medical intervention which halted the (otherwise richly deserved) beating may have saved King’s life.
Clearly, the King riots were just a quick test drive for Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, which the MSM—with their outright fabrications, intentional sins of omission, and willful misrepresentations—dearly hoped (with their vigorous fanning of the flames) would escalate one or the other of these race riots to a national level. Rarely has the metaphor of “putting out a fire with gasoline” had more meaning.
If it bleeds, it leads. Just ask Reginald Denny, that is, if he’s regained any memory of his 1992 beating. At least one thing’s for sure … Rodney King certainly doesn’t remember anything … BECAUSE HE’S DEAD.
Not knowing how to swim, he nonetheless bought himself a house that had a backyard swimming pool (all purchased with court settlement millions). After stumbling around during yet one more drug-fueled binge with PCP, cocaine, marijuana and alcohol—for a grand finale, he provided everyone with a most convincing rockfish impersonation. Pauvre petit sébaste.
Alas, some people make the world a better place with their arrival … while others only do so by departing.

Don’t forget that he took to hits from a taser and laughed at the cops.

Worth watching, if only for Breitbart’s brilliant quip about, “medicine in the sherbet”.
Also, in this time—and particularly during this season—of crass MSM-fueled materialism, Andrew’s voice and lucidity are more than a little comforting.
