All Hail The Neo-Coms

Today the nation that presided over the death of Communism presided over the death of Capitalism.  The very people who benefited most completely from free markets, rule of law, property rights, and personal responsibility have turned their backs on all of it, preferring instead to drink from the sewage spewed forth by the collectivists.  In so doing, it breathed new life into the very Communist ideology that 4 generations of Americans and its allies fought to suppress.  Neo-Communism is the new order.  All hail the Neo-Coms.

Their first General Secretary, Comrade Obama stands in the wings prepared to rule over the workers in a grand socialist paradise.   Like all dictators, he speaks in the grandiloquent, claiming to do good – but only if the good is at the expense of others, the hated rich.  Never mind that he himself is many leagues removed from the common man.  (He does, after all, already have his own Khrushchev-era dacha in Chicago obtained via his currently-imprisoned real estate fairy, Tony Rezko.)  Never mind that his vision of “change” merely involves reinstating the collective that oppressed literally millions during the 20th Century.  Never mind that he is willing to sacrifice our individual liberties – any and all of them – on the altar of the “public good”.  He is Comrade Change.  He is the Great Black Hope.  He is the Collectivist Savior.  So … all hail the Neo-Com Stalin.

And what of the oligarchs?  The people who allegedly caused the problem and now will reap direct financial support from the people of the United Soviet States Of America?  It’s easy to understand their motivation.  After decades of being abused by the growing collectivism in their nation; of having to pay a disproportionate portion of the taxes; of being vilified for being successful; of being blamed for any and all social ills … the rich got even.   They took huge risks (with the possibility of reaping huge rewards) and laid of the losses on the general public.  No demonstration of the evils of collectivism could ever be more compelling, but the American Sheeple, via their execrable legislators, demanded government “fix” the economy, so the risk takers got paid off.  One can only hope that – in the larger scheme of all the taxation they’ve endured – at least they broke even.  All hail the Neo-Com General Assembly.

In the end, no matter how lousy the politicians, this destruction of liberty is primarily the fault of the people – they whiny liberals, the slimy progressives, the limp conservatives, the fakers, the takers, the indolent, the lazy, the greedy, all of them collaborated to put the knife in the barely quivering carcass of Freedom.  So, all hail the Neo-Coms – you majority of the USA’s 300 million inhabitants.  You have managed to undo in a couple generations what took hundreds of years to build.

The West, and more particularly, Western liberty is dead.  What is before us now is the slow and inexorable slide, first to irrelevance, then to subjugation, and finally to extinction.  And we deserve nothing better.   Any nation willing to embrace the diseased “something for nothing” ideas of Comrade Obama and his fellow travelers shall surely get what it asks for.

God Bless America … What’s Left Of It.
