If Your Ideology Requires the Silencing of Dissidents, Your Ideology Is Dangerous (and Sucks)

Years ago, I worked in higher education. Someone I worked with, very much a Leftist, coolly dismissed the concerns of those Russians, Cubans, and others who were warning of the Democrats' schemes to turn the nation into a communist one. This was 20 years ago now, and the snobbery and arrogance have stuck with me.

These people often fled their home countries with next to nothing, sometimes leaving behind loved ones who would starve or be executed by the tyrannical regimes under which they lived. They believed, rightly so, that America was their best chance at living freely.

Democrats hate that. They hate our freedoms. They hate the documents on which this nation was founded, and they want to undo it all.

But there's a problem with that, and we've seen it time and again throughout history. Their communist, totalitarian regimes are always faced with resistance, objectors, and reformers. As we saw in the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, anyone who stepped a toe out of line was sent to the guillotine. Even if they were otherwise supportive of the revolutionary cause.

The other day, I wrote about Angela Davis, the violent communist who was the mother of the prison abolition movement. While she wanted to free violent criminals, she didn't lift a finger to help the communist detractors who were imprisoned around the world. Those people, to paraphrase Davis, got what they deserved.

That proves there isn't going to be an abolition of prisons, of course. The commies will need someplace to put their enemies.

And that seems a kind alternative to what the DSA members have in mind for members of the Iranian and Cuban diaspora. For them, it's mass graves.

These same people want you to know they are deeply, morally offended by the 'genocide' in Gaza, though.

The DSA claims it's got 120,000 members nationwide. A majority of them would do well to note what happens when you question the leadership or are perceived as being a threat to the movement in any way, shape, or form. The Iranians in L.A. or the Cubans in Miami are just that: a threat to the DSA.

These are people who bear witness to the brutality of Islamist regimes and the failures of communism. And they have voices. They will speak out against the Khameneis of the world, they will expose the hypocrisies and disastrous policies of the Castros. And for that, the DSA thinks they must be silenced.

Tell me again how President Trump is the dictator, though. He wants to deport people back to where they came from. The oh-so-tolerant socialists want to bomb two of our major cities to shut up their political opposition.

Even though this video is from March, given the rise of the socialists in the Democratic Party, it's important we remember exactly who we're dealing with and what we're up against. They will kill each and every one of us if they think it will help them gain, or keep, power. And they're not afraid to say so out loud.
