"Are you going to choose to take the fight to the enemy, OR are you going to keep standing there with your hands in your pockets in a stagnant position as the communists wage war on your way of life while you do nothing? "
The communists (they try to position themselves as socialists, Marxists, or progressives) have successfully dominated entertainment, politics, education, science, business, and religion wherein they have THE voice of authority. They speak with one voice to not only further their agenda, but to overwhelm any voice of dissent. In contrast, conservatives have no dominant voice. Seemingly, conservatives who speak out cannot rise above the din of criticism from other conservatives to be heard by our opposition, who don't have to reply to anyone because we do it for them.
Communists, socialists, Marxists, and progressives don't criticize each other. They all deny that they are any of the others. But they don't give any specific points on which they disagree. And conservatives don't either.
We can't fight to win because we have lost. We are losers. We have ceded every point. We do not contest subjectivism or evolution. We have no arguments against progressivism. We can't articulate a sound monetary policy. Our views on morality, good government, sexuality, marriage, education, and nearly every substantive issue are practically indistinguishable from our opponents'.
McCarthy, in the end, was abandoned by all of his congressional allies. He was met with a solid wall of opposition. Despite the fact that communists worldwide plainly and publicly announced every strategic objective they hoped to achieve from their beginning, the media and liberal politicians denied the existence of such plans. McCarthy accumulated much information regarding Communists and sympathizers in the American government, and was able to get many of them convicted of unamerican activities. Relying on activist judges, many of the convictions were later overturned. McCarthyism was successfully debunked by politicians, judges, and media constantly, consistently, and vociferously attacking its tenets.
The attacks on McCarthy and his allies were nearly identical to those on Trump in our era. To this day, any mention of Joseph McCarthy is couched in venomous language. Yet, it is undeniable that our government has more of the character of Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist than that of Washingtonian, Jeffersonian, Adamsian, and Madisonian.
Your key points are the truth that I never see expressed. Yes, the U.S. left took control of our institutions in the Long March, and they did so by marching in lockstep, in a unified frontal assault on freedom and truth. And yes the right are ununified, unable to defend, let alone counterattack.
I think that we do have arguments against progressivism, but the problem is that arguing against the progressives doesn't work. Proving them wrong doesn't faze them.
So yes we have lost. At most a little hope may remains that we can turn the tables on the left and take back our freedoms and our country. So I hope that this Substack is right.
IMO the best book on Communism in the McCarthy anti-communist era is Diana West's book American Betrayal. Almost no Americans understand what really happened in that time.
Yes, I believe the key right here and now is for each of us to simply be activists in our daily lives. We need to sign up to be poll watchers, precinct captains, etc. We need to be throwing our money behind businesses that support the America first agenda along with taking our dollars away from woke companies that hate us. We must not remain idle.
I firmly believe that if we don't quit then they can't win. I realize there's a fine line between coping and apathy, however if we take the "black pill of nihilism" then we're handing a victory to the enemy on a silver platter. That's what they're counting on.
On the flip side, what they're NOT counting on is if we choose to take the "white pill of a can do attitude towards attacking the problem." Not countering aggressively enough is exactly how all communism was allowed to spread throughout history. When it comes to Marxism there should be zero tolerance as it's a belief system that only believes in destruction, therefore we must turn that demolition in on those who are trying to implement it.
Understand that I'm not talking about violence, or breaking the law. However, I am talking about coloring BOLDLY within the lines in order to enact justice. There are times to fight fire with fire and I'd rather do that in the context of legal, political, cultural, and economic willpower rather than it spinning out of control and having to face the barrel of a gun.
"Not countering aggressively enough is exactly how all communism was allowed to spread throughout history."
Absolutely, the ideology of the right is live and let live and so our sin is complacency. We allow evil to take root and grow behind our backs.
So glad to have found your Substack. I personally do have reservations about working within the system but I agree with and embrace as truth everything you said. Defending against the leftists' attack on truth and freedom will not be enough. We have to counterattack IMO. We have to turn the tables on the left, use truth as a weapon in the way that they use lies.
We have the evidence, the facts, and the TRUTH on our side, therefore our fight is righteous.
I'm a GenXer and I grew up loving 80's action movies just like any good GenXer. On that note and in the words of John Rambo: "They drew first blood." It's up to us to hit back (metaphorically speaking).
I'm honored to have you here and thank you for your feedback.
I agree with your position that the Marxist/Communists have infiltrated our institutions and have taken the fight to every level of opposition that it has come face to face with here in the States just as with your example concerning McCarthy.
I agree with you on that front and I understand the frustration and the sentiment. It’s a real serious and even deadly infestation.
Having said all of that we are living in a Fourth Turning and like any major Fourth Turning event the outcome is civilizational in terms of change and that change is seismic.
Therefore, when we look at the evidence of where that change occurs I am always a huge proponent of looking at history. I include historical context in order to understand present day circumstances.
When looking at the history we always reflect back on the evidence of events and look at human behavior. Additionally, just as we must look at human behaviors in the past we must always look and observe those human behaviors here in the present.
Given all of this what I’m seeing when observing the people today is what is often referred to now as The Great Awakening. There is a historical political realignment happening today unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, or read about, for that matter since the American Revolution.
Not only is this the case, but this Great Awakening is global and isn’t just confined to the U.S. as it’s happening throughout Europe.
Now with that being said the political class and the citizen populous of the globe is on a collision course that will be the biggest in history.
On that note when the thesis and the antithesis of these forces collide it will produce some sort of synthesis on the other side of that which will produce civilizational change.
I am also seeing victories at a rapid rate in areas of culture, media, finance, and even entertainment with the development of the freedom oriented parallel economy.
I will say this…
Donald Trump has dominated and collapsed the single most aggressive lawfare strategy towards any one single individual in world history and he’s still standing. Not only is he standing, but he’s dominating in poll numbers and those are polls that are coming from the left.
When he held a huge rally in the Bronx, New York last week that has never been done by a Republican and that includes Ronald Reagan.
This Great Awakening goes way beyond a typical Republican vs Democrat or Conservative vs Liberal political cycle because it’s not typical and it’s not political.
It’s civilizational.
There’s always the chance that the bad guys will win, but at the moment they are getting punched in the mouth harder and more frequent than anytime they’ve encountered in world history.
