When most people think of #Communism, they often understand it as an #economic system for the sharing of wealth. Yet communism is anything but that.

It pushes for a seizure of all private property, and all means of production.

Commentary by @JoshJPhilipp theepochtimes.com/what-are-the-r…
“Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality.”

“The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.”
Both above quotes are from “The Communist Manifesto,” and both illustrate the true goals of #Communism.

The idea of ​​unrestricted warfare has always run through the Chinese #Communist Party’s military practices, and has these characteristics: “a war beyond all boundaries and limits,” “forcing the enemy to accept one’s own interests by all means, including…theepochtimes.com/chapter-eighte…
…methods of force and non-force, military and non-military, killing and non-killing.”

“The means are all-inclusive, information is omnipresent, the battlefield is everywhere” — “beyond all political, historical, cultural, and moral shackles.”
Unrestricted warfare means that “all weapons and technologies can be used at will; it means that all the boundaries between the worlds of war and non-war, military and non-military are broken.”

From 'How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World,' Ch. 18.

"Every day, my presidency will defend American families, we will defend America’s workers … we will defend the American way of life and we will always defend America’s borders—because without borders, we don’t have a country…
…The lawless chaos on our southern border provides a lucrative cashflow to some of the most dangerous criminal organizations on the planet. Deadly cartels constantly violate our borders…
…Our Border Patrol, our ICE agents, our law enforcement - the job they do, and they don’t have the backup of a wall in many cases - the job they do is incredible."

82. As President Thomas Jefferson warned us in 1809: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency,
first decieve by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks]... will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
83. Rep. Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking & Currency Committee, explained about the FED in 1932:

"We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks...

1. This thread will examine how the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED) came to be.

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” - Henry Ford
2. The enormity of this topic, especially re the legal right to create money, requires 100s of pgs to cover properly. This thread will provide only a short intro. To fully understand the power derived from creating money, I highly recommend further research into the FED.
3. For a good beginner’s guide (under 200 pages) read Dishonest Money: Financing the Road to Ruin, by Joseph Plummer. For a much more thorough account (six hundred pages), I highly recommend The Creature from Jekyll Island.

Thoughtful podcast on what was probably the most promising experiment for #communism to ever work.
Many important insights:
1.) If you want an egalitarian society, politics need to be decentralized & units restricted <= ~150 families.
Interesting @nntaleb?
econtalk.org/ran-abramitzky…
2.) Kibbutz were really very close to communist ideals. NO(!) private property, children were largely raised by the community to instill the right spirit, exactly #equal salary for everyone. At their peak, more than 5% of the Israeli population lived in one.
3.) From what Ran Abramitzky explains, they were in many regard great places. Good public good provision, little conflict and very safe for children, &being in the community is good insurance against bad events happening to you. Also most places were rather well off economically

I'll make this one quick because you might turn off you TV/Computer/Phone before I even get to the end of the thread. Of course the content of television programming has an effect on the way people think, but what about the signals.
How ironic that the old cliche adage so many mothers said to their children, "Don't sit too close to the TV" actually has quite a bit of merit in light of these patents and the claims they make about how television broadcasts signals effect your brain. I know my mom had no idea.
So, not only do you have to worry about how the content of what you are watching will effect your thoughts, you actually have to consider there may be some less obvious physical manipulation in the actual signals coming from the tube. steemit.com/science/@anarc…

Some thoughts about leftists who think they know more about the Bible than Christians

1) These days, lots of people don’t read the Bible, but they think they’re experts on what it says. They lecture Christians on what we should support
2) When Jesus was challenged about what the Word of God said, He often replied with a rhetorical question: have you not read? We should do the same
3) For example, on the issue of gender, Jesus said that in the beginning God made them male and female (Matthew 19:4-6). There are only two genders
