[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]
Antony Beevor is a British historian, and a good one. He has written several histories, mostly military history, and he tends to be very objective in his writing, which too many historians today are not. If you enjoy reading history, especially military history, I recommend Beevor’s books.
One of his books is simply entitled “Russia,” where he examines the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Bolshevik takeover of that country. The book, as you would expect, contains much information about the ideas of Vladimir Lenin, the first dictator of the “new Russia” (eventually USSR), and Beevor’s analysis of Lenin is excellent. Let me share with you three quotes from Beevor’s book about Lenin, about Lenin’s leftist, communist philosophy, and you compare any parallels between Lenin and today’s American Democratic Party.
Quote One: “He [Lenin] was also prepared to receive secret funds from the Kaiser’s government to fund propaganda. As far as he was concerned, anything that assisted a revolution which could bring the Bolsheviks to power was permissible.”
There was nothing Lenin would not do, including taking money from Russia’s enemies, to take power. Nothing.
The only “good” that Lenin believed in was whatever benefited the Bolshevik Party and its Revolution. If it helped the party, it was good; if it didn’t, it was bad, and that certainly meant lying as much as possible, when necessary. Lenin once said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
There is no morality to the Left, folks, except leftist morality, the morality THEY create, when needed, in order to gain power. No tradition, no religion, no absolutes truly exist to guide mankind or dictate our behavior. Again, read Beevor: “anything that assisted a revolution which could bring the Bolsheviks to power was permissible.”
Can you say “Democrats”?
Quote Two: “Lenin did not make the mistake of revealing what communist society would be like. All state power and private property, he claimed, would be transferred into the hands of the Soviets, or ‘councils of workers,’ as if they were to be independent bodies and not just puppets of the Bolshevik leadership. The peasants were encouraged to believe the land would be theirs to own and work as they saw fit.”
Do you think the Democrats are truly telling Americans what they want for the country, what socialism is, how they intend to rule if they get the power they crave? They cannot tell the truth about this. They must let the people think they will “share” in the “power” through some kind of phony “democracy.” I have explained, in article after article after article, exactly what leftism is, what it believes, and where it came from historically and philosophically. About the only honest Democrat out there is Zohran Mamdani, and a lot of Democrats are trying to shush him because he speaks too much of what they really believe. But he’s probably going to be the next mayor of New York City. “Lenin did not make the mistake of revealing what communist society would be like” (Beevor). Today’s Democrats, largely, aren’t making that mistake, either.
Quote Three: “His public speeches focused instead on hate figures, those he could label ‘parasites’… he believed firmly in the necessity of civil war to achieve absolute power, yet there was little hint of the class genocide to come.”
Lenin made it very plain—and Democrats in America do, too, in their words and actions—that hate is the foundation of their philosophy.
Lenin wrote, “We must hate—hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists…hatred is truly the ‘beginning of all wisdom.’”
Lenin labeled his enemies “parasites,” “fatcats,” “spiders,” “bloodsuckers,” and a host of like epithets. The Democrats like to use “Nazi” and “fascist” (interesting how they never call Trump or his supporters “communists,” even though the latter killed hundreds of millions more than the Nazis and fascists did). Lenin got his hate from his master, Karl Marx.
Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian pastor who spent 14 years tortured in a communist prison camp, wrote, “There is no support for the view that Marx entertained lofty social ideals about helping mankind. Marx hated any notion of God or gods. He determined to be the man who would kick out God.”
Marx said, “My object is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.”
Can you say “Democrats”?
Consider some examples of what Lenin’s leftists did to the Russian people. Innumerable innocents were imprisoned and tortured. Some people’s hands were soaked with gloves on in boiling water and then the gloves were ripped off, pulling off the skin. Belts were made from the skin off people’s backs. Countless people had their arms and legs broken and then were tossed in the river. Hundreds of people were put on a barge with a large leak in it in the middle of the Volga River. The people had to continually bail out the water. Eventually, after a few days, too weary to bail anymore, they all sank and drowned. Some people were tied up with barbed wire and eventually washed up on beaches. One old colonel was roasted alive in the furnace of a locomotive. Another was tossed headfirst into a ship’s furnace. “Who should feel sorry for killing a counterrevolutionary?” one murderer said. How many leftist Democrats are truly sorry Charlie Kirk is dead?
I’m limited in space but books could be (and have been) written about the horrors of the communist Left all over the world. They are inhuman monsters with no conscience, and no sense of right or wrong, except what will enhance their cause and power. This is the historical foundation of America’s Democratic Party today, but they’ll never tell you that. And if they ever get the totalitarian power they crave, it will be too late because the rest of us will be dead.
We’d better start learning from history.
There are a lot of similarities between the Democrats and the Bolsheviks.
BOTH DEMOCRATS AND BOLSHEVIKS ALSO SHARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLAM..ISLAM IS A GOVT..IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION..
READ THE KORAN IT ALWAYS POINTS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF OTHER NATIONS AND PPLS.. YES YOU CAN DESTROY A NATION AND PPL THRU CONVERSION TO YOUR IDEAS AND BELIEFS.. ONE WORD HAMAS. i actually read the first 88 pages of the koran..i thumbed thru the rest it was only a reiteration of the first 88 pages..i wanted to know why islam hates the west..reading about thomas jeffersons interaction with them was eye opening.. and yet knowing the truth for 175 years plus in america they are still allowed in..youd almost think that democrats hate the united states and the american citizens..
I suggest the MAGA base (Trump) needs to reflect on their use of derogatory name calling of their so called “enemies” and pursuit of retribution of political adversarys.
About that last US Presidential; election which Joe Biden was in Office , seen very much like an unintelligent version of Vladimir Lenin, as with January 6th political prisoners and his socialist economics.’,
As ,for Kamala Harris , also not very intelligent, It was if her had ,by hook or by crook , “won ” that Presidential election , It was be like replacing Biden meaning “Lenin:” with Joseph Stalin. meaning that Marxist ,Kamala Harris .
The harm she inflect America would be to vast and terrible that it would irreversible .
As Abraham Lincoln said “You can’t unscramble eggs .”
At this point the communist-Islamist-Leftist triad is rapidly coalescing to destroy all freedom, not only here in the United States but across the globe.
The struggle will come when the Islamists, now more than willing to capitalize on a temporary alliance, have enough power to dictate and implement Sharia law. They are totalitarians but they are in subjugation to Allah and it will not tolerate much of the heresy that is part of both leftist and the communist ideologies.
The Ayatollah Khameini of Iran is currently one example of this religious totalitarianism. Just imagine it globally and you have little left to imagine of this religious malevolence under which human suffering will surely parallel and exceed that of Lenin.
This is an extension of rule by the nerds. The only way for them to gain and keep power is to lie to people too ignorant to understand it. It always ends in slaughter.
Mr. Karensky died in New York in 1970 a wealthy man supported by his financial friends on Wall Street.
Great article!
Too bad this great piece can not be in every leftist newspaper and leftist social media for normal Americans, who still might have a few brain cells left, to read!
Lenin, Stalin, Castro and Mao the worst in history Hitler could never hold a candle to any of these types and the Dem-O-Rats the Slave Owners and the founders of the KKK
I’m not sure who said it but … “The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history.” None of this is exactly classified information. Everybody knows by now, just how communist the Democrats have become.
Ten years ago in 2015 the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) gave up wasting time with political candidates*. They reasoned that they were getting everything they could ever dream of for free from the Democrat Party. Democrats are better Communists than the CPUSA ever was.
*John Bachtell, chairman CPUSA “People’s World” 2015
I need to report to you that people in general know little to nothing about communism and its evil. How would they? School, no. Media, no. The left commits the sin of omission; read the NY Times and the LA Times. They lie a little, but mostly they do not report the news.
I have no doubt that there are those who are convinced that what’s good for Democrats is good for America.. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid.
You left out all of the “glorious future” nonsense.
One Party Statists (which is what all of them are no matter the fancy new label they attach to themselves) must speak of a glorious future since they have made a coyote’s breakfast of the present.
Present day Democrat Party resembles the Bolsheviks of 1917. My way or the hiway. Wanting 1.2 trillion to 1.5 trillion to fund leftist ideas but starving people by refusing to negotiate on food stamps or EBT as we know it.. Those 42 million people did not all vote republican but come the next election I think those who survive without EBT will not be casting a ballot in ‘Chuck Schumers favor. Keep it up Democrat Party and you will soon self destruct and become like the dinosaur extinct!
islam waiting to take the place or infiltrate there wont be a void
Democrat Socialist of America. They have chapters in most if not all. In some states multiple chapters. The Socialist Party of Oregon is over 100 years old. Many of Oregon’s US Representatives. Many Socialists Organizations were evident in the last 150 years. Workers of the World. All Communist by nature. John Brennan voted for a Communist Presidential Candidate. Comey clearly stated he was drawn to Communism. What do they have in common? Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, David Axelrod, and never forget Barack’s Mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a Registered Communist.
