How does the Democrat Party today differ from the Communist Party USA?
How does the Democrat Party today differ from the Communist Party USA? The Democrat Party has the benefit of many years as a seemingly legitimate political entity. However, ultra-left socialists who seek a socialist society, which contradicts all our founding principles, have almost completely taken over the Democrat Party. They no longer conceal their socialist and communist beliefs. They promote violence, the elimination of our Constitution, and the destruction of both public and private property. We are being destroyed from within, as Lincoln foresaw.
The problems some saw with the Communist Control Act were constitutional, the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and the ban against bills of attainder, that is, declaring a person or group guilty without trial.
Our founders did say that we have the right and duty to abolish any government that does not secure our inalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness refers to a system of government that enables individuals to achieve their desired standard of living.
The Constitution does not accord the right to any group or individual to change by force or coercion the basic principles and mores of our country.
What should we do when the Democrat Party behaves similarly to a revived Communist Party USA?
Should we permit groups that aim to overthrow our government, as demonstrated by their words and actions of insurrection, to continue their efforts under the guise of 'constitutional' rights? Should groups such as Antifa and the Democrat Party, which attempt to appear legitimate, be allowed to persist in their efforts to instigate chaos to bring about societal, economic, and political changes that contradict our founding principles and fundamental values?
The Communist Control Act has never been repealed.
