Thank you well done! Appreciate the hard work that went into this. If only we could get this on mainstream media.

Wonderful essay. I have often struggled to explain in cogent terms the link between Marxism, Socialism and Communism, and the connection to today’s progressive movements. Well done.

Thank you for this post.

The biggest danger for humanity are the new cultural Marxist. Unfortunately the majority of the people are clueless about Marx theory of victims and oppressors.

Of course Marx original theory was about workers oppressed and everybody else were the oppressor.

The new cultural Marxist know that they can't succeed in the economic part in the society so they created many other categories.

Climate Marxist is the biggest one where the planet is the oppressed and humans are the oppressors.

WELL WORTH REMEMBERING

.

The Founder of the MacDonald-Laurier Institute told an interesting story on a recent SubStack podcast. He described the creation of two Universities.

.

The first was planned by a group of ‘Smart Guys’’ types who know what we want and need. They planned all the buildings then drew in the roads and pathways that would connect them.

.

The second was planned by a group who decided to plot out the buildings, but they omitted the pathways that connected them. Their thought was people would soon decide for themselves where they wanted to walk, and those routes would soon become well-worn paths through the grass.

.

They delayed construction of the pathways until the required routes had been identified.

An unusual group attended a recent event in Toronto.

.

I have attended numerous protests in Downtown Toronto and I'm very familiar with the usual attendees.

.

A different sort attended this protest. A few were from Quebec, others Manitoba. They marched single file with a notable military style.

.

Europeans are in general a patient lot, but that is not without its limits.

Actually not so long of a march but we are at the final stages of their commie plan. This is the last government in power of this country as so called Canadians.

From here on you if you except it, will be just a number. Working for the greater good of the Big Machine, called New World Order, One World Government, One world religion, One world currency and you can take that to the bank.

Right on. This is a massive subject and you outlined the broad strokes in a very readable way. You outlined one of the reasons communism always ends up in tyranny; that the motives of the ring leaders are themselves tyrannical. Relatedly, it's also important to recognize that the systems they propose, the ones that they sell to their followers, would never work organically, given human nature and game theoretical considerations. The only way to see them through is to impose the systems at a granular level, which people initially resist, and then the communist system has to push doubly hard to root out discontent and noncompliance.

I'm not sure that capitalism as we know it is necessary for not-communism, but one of the brilliant things about it is that it takes advantage of human nature and game theoretic considerations to self-propagate in a way that doesn't require top-down enforcement, except in situations where contracts are broken or negative externalities existentially threaten the system itself.

modern marxism really has nothing to do with social justice

Karl Marx was a wife-beating, alcoholic racist who never worked a day in his life and whose economic ideas have killed more people than the Black Death. Yet he’s the only dead white guy that progressives won’t cancel. Go figure.

Read these two books, “Beyond Banksters “ by Joyce Nelson “, “ Tower of Basel “by Adam Lebor, a wake up call you can not ignore.

This article explains it all so well!! We are living this. I have been feeling this for a while now but couldnt put it into words. You have done that! Its a relief to know I'm not going mad like they try to make you think!! Still, this doesnt solve the problem. However, the more of us who are awakened to what is really going on, the more we will be able to open other minds. But you're so right - it must be done with compassion. Thats not easy when there is so much emotion involved.

Canada has never been a Democracy, but a communistic state.The only thing democratic about Canada is that you are allowed to vote, but you do not and never did have a day..

I often enjoy Blendr News by and large. But the failure to see one of the biggest elephants in the room is striking. Where did Marx and Marxism get their backing? Who was behind Marx? Who financed the Russian Revolution and its outgrowth in the Soviet Union. Have you studied the role of the Kuhn Loeb financiers on Wall Street? Who formed the Bolshevik Cheka, the secret police, and who did they specialize in killing. Why? How should we understand the trajectory from Marxism to Bolshevism to Trotsky-style communism to American neocons like Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan. Who was really behind 9/11? What has been the interaction between Zionism and communism? Who backed and financed Mao? What is the role, if any, of Israel First Zionism in the power structure of the current world? Why is Zionism so important in the governing structure of the Western countries, but especially the USA? What is the role of Zionism in the governance of Canada? Surely some kind of ability to discuss such questions is vital right now during this time of genocidal excess on the verge of another World War?

The only good news here is that there are many more ANTISEMITIC S in the Left than the Right.
