Then and Now, Thugs and Looters



Early in 1921 the Red government in the Crimea declared a "a week of poverty." Soldiers went to every home, and if anyone owned "too much" the extra was taken to be given to the poor in town. Some people were left with only the clothes on their backs. When the soldiers burst in the Rosenbaum home they took the family's one luxury, a few bars of soap. During that week the father of a girl in Ayn's class, a businessman, was arrested and shot. From the loot the soldiers had taken each school class was sent a single used dress or shirt. The girls were to draw lots to determine which one would receive the tattered dress. Ayn was horrified when her class received a dress that had belonged to the daughter of the murdered man. That poor girl just sat numbly at her desk as the dress was presented to the group. Only one of the girls wanted it...she declared she had a right to it, she was poor and ragged, so she took it.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs...the Marxist mantra. Most of the time Ayn and her family were hungry, ragged, cold and frightened of the regime that ruled them. The workers were struggling to run the nationalized factories, mines, banks...and were failing. People were fleeing the unrest of the cities. Petrograd lost 60 percent of its population. The peasants maddened by hunger and fear, were slaughtering landowners, pillaging, burning. In the frozen winter of that year, the water supply failed, and fuel for heating was almost nonexistent. The paragraphs above are from a bio of Ayn Rand by Barbara Branden. Now you know why Ayn Rand hated Communists. Fast forward to the modern era, this from Jay Clarke at American Thinker: Obama's teen years were spent living with his maternal grandparents on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. There he met a family friend, communist, and his eventual mentor, the radical poet Frank Marshall Davis. Obama's connections to radical leftists are numerous and well-known. He's admitted to attending socialist meetings and participated in a rally organized by the Democratic Socialists of America. In 1996, he sought and received the endorsement of the far left group The New Party. He has worked with, supported, and attempted to shield from investigation the group ACORN which was recently convicted of massive voter fraud. Obama's White House is chock-full of radical leftist, anti-American advisors. As a 20-year attendee at Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama was steeped in Black Liberation Theology which is rooted in the philosophy of Karl Marx. Marx's most oft-quoted excerpt from his work "Critique of the Gotha Programme" seems to foreshadow the future President Obama's stated belief in wealth redistribution: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." And recall some of Obama's own words: "Under my plan electricity rates will skyrocket." "I want to close down the coal mines." (Checked your electric bill lately?). He attacks oil drillers in the Gulf and Boeing and sun tan salons. For now, this is how he attacks the producer class, those with too many shirts. The street thugs and looters are being trained by the thugs and looters in suits. What do you think will happen in the streets when the looters in suits give you hyperinflation? The goal of Marxists is to impoverish the producer class, by any means available. The monthly deficit of Big Gov is $120 billion...that is the monthly cost of Socialism. It will end in economic collapse and probably hyperinflation as the ruling class gets desperate.
