Criticisms of Communist/Marxist Theory
The promise of a glorious, yet imaginary, future: Some have argued that, like Fascism, Nationalism and many religions, Communism offers a vision of an unachievable perfect future, and keeps its subjects in thrall to it by devaluing the past and the present. It claims to represent a universal truth which explains everything and can cure every ill, and any apparent deviations or under-performance are explained away by casuistry and emotional appeals.

Criticisms of Communist Party Rule
Totalitarianism: It is claimed that Communist parties have maintained themselves in power without the consent of the populations and have degenerated into Totalitarianism. They rule by means of secret police, propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, repression of free discussion and criticism, mass surveillance, and state terror.

We’re clearly on the way.

What was once subtle is now in our face and it’s amazing just how well the Democrat elite know those who politically oppose them….

Wow. Maybe Sarah Silverman should have a friendly little talk with Antifa who, “wearing all black, tactical riot gear and ski masks”, ARE currently terrorizing neighborhoods with their standard disruption, violence and destruction.

Very “stupid, authoritarian” legislation will soon be on the table.

Democrats introduce their first bill in the House: H.R.1 – The bill that will destroy America. Nationwide mail-in voting, banning restrictions on ballot harvesting, banning voter ID, criminal voters, DC Statehood roadwork, it’s all in here.

1) Internet-only registration with electronic signature submission.
2) Banning the requirement to provide a full SSN for voter registration.
3) Nationwide ‘Motor Voter’ registration.
4) 16 year olds required to be registered to vote.
5) Nationwide same-day registration.
6) Grants ($25M) for using minors in election activities.
7) Prohibiting attempts to clean voter rolls of non-residents.
8) Murderers and rapists can vote.
9) Mandatory early voting.

For those who are reportedly having voters remorse, take a hard look at those who censored valuable information before the presidential election, cancelled those who challenged the election result, and are now literally hunting down anyone who dares not bow down in homage to Biden and Harris. Counter-information was readily available and you chose not to even want to look into it, so don’t act all innocent and shocked.

It will only get worse before it gets better. The only upside is that Democrats habitually overreach whenever they attain power and they will go too far. The next repudiation (and it always happens) should be appropriately harsh because in what is supposed to be a “free society”, Democrats, their Big Tech and media allies deserve to be made politically and socially impotent for decades, if not for good.

That said, many of us have had our experience with a government employee. Some of us have had to deal with them at a time when we really needed assistance or just plain ol’ courteous customer service. Suffice it to say, too many government employees act as though the public is an inconvenience; others have no problem putting the public at risk, walking off the job when they don’t get the pay they’ve decided they deserve.

Couple that with the entitled arrogance of union-government workers with an irresponsible Democrat-controlled local government and you have a budget crisis that eventually has to be addressed.

After Soda Tax, Preckwinkle Doles Out Premium Perks and Bonuses

With each passing day, it is becoming clearer that the beverage tax was never about public health. It is simply a money grab used to benefit government and those connected to it.

Cook County cuts hundreds of jobs after soda tax repeal
Why Illinois Is In Trouble – 63,000 Public Employees With $100,000+ Salaries Cost Taxpayers $10B

At some point, you run out of ways to squeeze more revenue out of the public and reality sets in; the same reality that walks in county facilities and are met with more indifference than compassion, which is why it’s hard to feel much sympathy for some of these fat-and-panicked union government employees that have had secure jobs for decades.

Remember the indifference and lack of urgency you may have received when going to a government employee for much-needed assistance while you hear the teary pleas of those now urging understanding and compassion….

Again, it’s hard to feel sorry for union, government employees who’ve had jobs with generous benefits for many years who now face the cold, cruel realities the American people have had to deal with when irresponsible politicians created harsh environment for the very private sector businesses that hire us.

Yes, it sucks to be in fear. It sucks not knowing how your bills will get paid or where food will come from. This is the feeling of helplessness many Americans felt when approaching some of these public sector employees who made them wait, failed to return phone calls, forgot to file proper paperwork, and generally couldn’t give a damn.

As for the politicians that got Cook County into this current mess… we are talking Chicago, right?

Why don’t we see the annual percentage of fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars?
