American Socialism Roots and the Current Madness

One of the important vectors of the brand of socialist tyranny that developed into the type of equity/racism-based socialism we see in the United States today was the Industrial Revolution, an event that caused tremendous social and economic upheaval.

The American socialism promoted to us today used invented inflammatory constructs like “white supremacy,” “racism,” “equity,” “diversity,” “inclusion,” “transgenderism,” bending reality to multiple non-existent sexes. The lies extended to college-educated professionals who forgot how to define a woman and declared that men can have menses and give birth to babies.

The vectors used were the computer revolution and the unrestraint technocracy which censored all citizens and the media that did not buy into their irrational and perverse agenda. This technocracy was sold to us initially as convenience, social media platforms, entertainment, reach out to the world, and other innocuous-sounding developments.

The original Marxist Socialists arrived in the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century from Germany among waves of European immigrants looking for a better economic life, political freedom, and freedom from religious oppression. They brought with them all the ideas and ideology that caused turmoil in Europe.

Joseph Weydemeyer (1818-1866), a friend of Marx and Engels, arrived in the U.S. in 1851. He proselytized their ideas in various German-language publications. A former artillery officer in the Prussian Army, he enlisted in the Union Army as a Captain and retired as a general. He “edited a Marxist publication in St. Louis until his death in 1866.”

Another German immigrant, Friedrich Sorge (1826-1906), was the leader of a communist club in New York City in 1857. He corresponded with Marx and, “when Marx established the world headquarters of the First International in New York City in 1872, he placed Sorge in charge.” Engels, unlike Marx, offered a lot of support and advice to communist cells in the U.S. and even visited the U.S. in 1888.

The various socialist groups were embroiled in rivalries like those of the various socialists who had immigrated to the United States from Europe: the Marxists who believed in trade unions’ activity to reach economic goals, and the Lasallians who wanted “independent political activity” to achieve their economic goals.


From the various socialist factions’ fight emerged the Socialist Labor party in 1877, the Socialist party in 1901, and the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies) in 1905. The political influence of the American socialists as a protest movement reached its “peak” in 1912 when “more than 1,000 Socialists held elective public office, largely at the municipal level.”

It is not surprising in the 21st century that the socialist globalist movement of U.N. Agenda 21/2030 started at the local level with ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives). To escape the negative influence of its original name, ICLEI is now calling itself Local Governments for Sustainability, still using the same local plans and the global warming Armageddon as an excuse to rob the global populace of its wealth and private property and redistribute it to whomever they decide.

Initially, Socialism did not get as far as intended because the federal government established the Department of Labor in 1913, minimum wage laws, industrial safety regulations, workmen compensation benefits, and other work-related protections for the labor force. That rendered socialism temporarily obsolete until they developed new plans and ideas to take over the minds and indoctrinate millions into its absurd ideology.

In 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution began a reign of terror in Russia. Their communism (Marxism-Leninism) was the “revolutionary, materialistic ideology used by its adherents to justify their efforts to seize power by all means for the forcible establishment of a world-wide totalitarian social order.”

Historians called the year 1917 the birth of “Lenin’s creed of violence.” It was a “creed of force and violence” which spread quickly around the world to other countries. The new adherents to communism were not allowed to search for truth, they were indoctrinated and forced to believe in communism’s debunked “scientific” principles, in its faulty ideology which interpreted nature, history, and society on false premises. The communist society was never opened to questions or criticism by anyone who had divergent opinions. If they dared, they were thrown in gulags.

The communist tyranny and subsequent imperialism can be best described through its terror, lies, intolerance, abuses of power, brutality, and as Khrushchev denounced the dictator Stalin, the “cult of personality.” The Cultural Revolution was extremely bloody and entire generations were destroyed by the drivel of communist indoctrination. Violent young people murdered total strangers whom they believe to be a threat to their ideology, sent to gulags innocent people, killed their own relatives and sometimes their own parents to please their communist handlers and rulers.

By contrast, William Tyler Page, a descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, wrote “The American Creed” in 1917, which was accepted on April 3, 1918, by the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the American people:

“I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”



President Obama told an adoring and cheering crowd in 2009 that we were “five days from the fundamental transformation of America.” That fundamental transformation of America is here and, in the fourteen years since that speech, America is on the Marxism path to change our western culture beyond the point of no return, ruled by a Marxist cadre that has attacked and successfully transformed the family, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, religion, the legal and justice systems, and biological reality.

If one uses the term “cultural Marxism,” he/she is immediately attacked by the left as a conspiracy theorist. Reality proves that public school education and especially higher education have become the breeding grounds for Marxists, the mentally disturbed, the psychotics, and the sexual deviants bent on changing our culture to their global Marxist agenda. Universities are no longer a place of learning and healthy debate; they are Marxist indoctrination centers.

Riley Gaines, a college swimmer, spoke on the campus of a California college in support of restoring women’s sports to biological women, and the trans-students physically attacked her despite campus police protection. Marxist students are getting more and more aggressive thanks to universities that are supporting them and their reality-denying agenda entirely.

The socialists and Marxists in power in Congress today are not afraid to advocate their support to and membership in socialist/Marxist organizations and do everything in their power to undermine our Constitutional Republic and to punish economically and politically half of the American people who did not vote for them.
