The communists tried to sell communism as communism in America after the Russian Revolution
So, Marx and Engels’ perfect society is a theory that, when applied to the real world, has failed everywhere it has ever been tried. Worse yet, where it has been tried, it always gets perverted into tyrannical dictatorship that represses the people it was supposed to benefit. And even worse yet, world communism has murdered more human beings than any other form of government to have ever existed on the planet.
Believe it or not, communism was first tried in America in the early 17th century, long before Marx and Engels. The Pilgrims tried it and found out that some imperfect people tried to “cheat” by living unfairly off the labor of others. In the 19th century, Lutherans tried communism in Missouri, it failed again. The reason is the same flaw in human beings that has caused communism to fail ever since.
The communists tried to sell communism as communism in America after the Russian Revolution. Finally, the communists realized that communism would never sell as communism in the United States of America. Americans were just too independent and self-reliant. The communists then changed strategy and decided to go undercover as “progressives” in the Democrat Party, the first lie of the culture of lies. Progressive sounded so much better from a marketing perspective. However, communism by any other name is still communism. So, from the 1920s to the 2010s, the communists have been hidden behind the curtain influencing Democrat Party policies and slowly inflicting socialist ideas into US government programs.
The closet communists are responsible for most of the “social programs” that are really nothing more than a way for the United States government to redistribute wealth using taxpayer money. And these “social benefit programs” have become the biggest frauds against taxpayers in history, the full extent of which we still do not know. All indications seem to point to the concept that the money from this fraud has been laundered and ends up in the pockets of the politicians funding these give-away programs.
