Communism Was Never a Monolithic System ? Nor Is Islam!
2008-06-25 07:08:00 Communism Was Never a Monolithic System — Nor Is Islam! One of the most useful lessons I learned resulted from my high school history teachers allowing me in successive years back in the early 1950s to do studies respectively of Stalin and Mao. There was not much written in book or journalistic ...
Cap and trade, freedom, and the collapse of our nation.
2008-06-04 04:23:00 America is in danger of collapse and I don’t say this lightly. I have believed in the exceptionalism of America for as long as I could understand what that meant. Five years ago, I would have told you that our economy will recover, that times will get better, and that freedom will prevail, but now I ...

Nazism and Communism Are the Same, And Other Lies
2008-05-14 12:28:00 Updated May 15:This is from a list that I am a member of, and I am reprinting it here because the author, Joao Sousa, summed things up so well. It is sad that some very conservative folks back in the 1930's and 1940's (Winston Churchill was a deeply conservative Tory) understand the evil of Nazism and resolved to fight it.This was more or less par for the course for decades on the US Right. However, in the past 30 years, especially since Reagan, we have seen the growth of a fanatical, lunatic, profoundly extremist, narcissistic-antisocial rightwing, a rightwing that was traditionally relegated to the John Birch and Goldwater margins.With this seriously crazy rightwing has come many a weird and wild notion. One of these is that Nazism is actually a Leftist philosophy, that Nazism is socialist, and the Communists and fascists are blood brothers.It goes beyond the scope of this post to discuss Hannah Arendt's discussion of the similarities between the two ideologies - a good summary...

Ideology?s Rude Return
2008-05-03 04:03:00 Many believe that when Chinese and Russian leaders stopped believing in communism, they stopped believing in anything. They had become pragmatists, pursuing their own and their nation’s interests. But Chinese and Russian rulers, like past rulers of autocracies, do have a set of beliefs that guide their domestic and foreign policies. They believe in the ...

Communism is Ideal for China
2008-04-27 04:00:00 Could you imagine 1.3 billion people living in democracy? I remember playing the game civilization wherein if you don't have the absolute resources and hundreds of billions to spend on people you cannot afford a democratic government wherein there are varying needs and rants that needs to be addressed. 1.3 billion people means 1.3 billion different aspirations, personal ambitions and views. A scenario which could be very costly in a democratic government.Communism assures that the general welfare of the state is protected and the needs of the citizens are addressed without actually adhering to every sectors demand at the same time. Competing needs and personal ambitions are checked by the state where otherwise it could lead to disaster and instability.I am not a fan of Chinese Communism for I believe that it is not the real communism in its concept. I am in favor of real democracy which is in fact a blend of communism and socialism. Democracy puts port collective effort and w...
At Least Marx Had Integrity

Islam and Communism
2008-03-15 12:52:00 "As we have already submitted, Islam stands for all that is good, healthy and desirable in life. It is the religion for all times, generations and societies but as the Islamic world during the last four centuries has been in a state of constant depression, the portion of the Islamic law dealing with economic problems remained static. Why shouldn't we then adopt Islam as a creed to edify our souls and purify thoughts and embrace communism as the economic system to solve our economic problems as it would in no wise affect our social set-up or any aspect thereof. We shall thus be able not only to safeguard our morals, social traditions and customs but also have at the same time one of the most modern economic systems of the present times to-resolve our economic problems"The reasoning such as this given above is a part of the diabolical game the communists are out to play now since a long time. To begin with, they adopted an aggressive attitude towards Islam in the East and cast vario...

Afghan Communism: Made in America
2008-03-05 08:06:00 March 6, 2008. All those Afghan communists were educated in the Soviet Union, right? Nope. Wrong answer. Actually, many of them were indoctrinated in the United States. Louis Dupree noted back in 1979 that, of the 14 civilians in the first Afghan communist government cabinet, exactly zero had been educated in the Soviet Union. Where were they educated? Here’s a breakdown: Egypt: 2 Western Europe: 2 Afghanistan: 4 United States: 10 Martin Ewans wondered aloud whether the policies of these cabinet members would have been different if they “had the privilege of an education at Lumumba University in the USSR” (Source: Martin Ewans, Afghanistan: A Short History of its People and Politics. 2001: 188) Outside of the cabinet, in the highest office in the land we have, for a time, the enthusiastic communist Hafizullah Amin.

Rumble: Gorbachev and Louis Vuitton. The end of communism as we knew it. Or
2008-03-01 18:48:00 Apparently this ad has been around for a while, but I only noticed yesterday, spread over two pages of the Alitalia inflight magazine: Former Soviet leader and USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev now makes publicity the French luxury label, Louis Vuitton.The ad shows Gorbachev in a car with a Vuitton bag at his side. The picture is rather dark, suggesting the gloomy ages of the Cold War and Communism. Gorbachev looks through the window at the Berlin Wall, depicted in the background.There is an interesting twist to the whole thing:Poking out of the bag is a publication with the headline (in Cyrillic): "The Murder of Litvinenko: They Wanted to Give Up the Suspect for $7,000.", referring to Alexander V. Litvinenko, the former KGB spy who died last November after being poisoned with a radioactive isotope. On his deathbed, Litvinenko accused Russia's President Vladimir Putin of orchestrating his murder. The British authorities accused one of Litvinenko?s associates, Andrei Lugovoi, of the ...

Adeste Fideles
2008-02-19 23:14:00 "Castro knew life is a stage and played the part of the dashing revolutionary coming to New York, getting rock star treatment." ABC's Diane Sawyer enveloped in the rapture of Fidel Castro. NewsBusters Barbara Walters had her way with Fidel (or was it the other way around?) the first time in 1977 when the then-48 year old Tee Vee star decamped in Cuba to interview the 51-year-old Castro. She had a couple more gos at him before handing down the Machiavellian charmer to Diane Sawyer. I understand how Babs could've fallen for the swarthy hirsute hunk noted for his catting around setting off a domestic Cuban missile crisis with the missus. Or how Diane Sawyer was swayed by Fidel's commie charms. My unrequited crush is still on the former Soviet Union prez Mikhail Gorbachev.
