Politics and Religion Part 4

As we have seen, the Democratic Party started out as the big business, whites only, small central government party. There were Progressives (as they were called before 1917) but those people tended to be on the Republican side of the aisle. Theodore Roosevelt was considered a Progressive and he was a Republican. Woodrow Wilson was considered Conservative, and he was a Democrat. But that all changed with Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and the 1935 relief act.

To understand what happened, you have to look at what happened in Russia in 1917. There was a revolution. Actually, there were a series of revolutions: the Tsar was overthrown; the Mensheviks took power; the Bolsheviks overthrew the Mensheviks and established a Marxist state run by a triumvirate of Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. While Lenin and Trotsky were working towards the creation of a Communist/Marxist state, Stalin was working behind the scenes to take full power. He made his move when Lenin died. He ousted Trotsky and assumed complete control of the Russian Communist Party.

Books have been written about what Stalin did and the millions he murdered in his quest for power. One of the best was written by Trotsky before his assassination in Mexico in August of 1940. The upshot of the whole thing was that Stalin was NOT a Marxist/Communist. He was one of the Reactionaries that Marx warned about in the Communist Manifesto. He basically reinstated Tsarist policies under the guise of Communism and made himself the sole, unquestioned ruler of the reconstituted U.S.S.R. (The Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics). The old-timers knew what he had done. My grandparents and their friends who fled the 1912 revolution in Russia called Stalin “The Red Tsar”. He hid his totalitarianism behind the façade of communist jargon. What the Left, the media, and the pundits are all spouting today are not Marxist principles but Stalinist ones.

Now, into that mishmash, we have to throw in a little American Exceptionalism.

Americans have a way of adapting European concepts to fit themselves in a totally unique way. There are some politicians who try to deny this, but a simple reading of world history will put the lie to them. Americans broke from England with its King and parliamentary style of government and created one with a revolving President and an offsetting Congress and Supreme Court. They took the Leftist ideas coming out of the Soviet Union and adapted them to the American Experience. All worker’s jobs in the USSR were protected. There was no unemployment because the government found you a job whether you liked it or not. Millions died in Soviet Government-owned factories, worked to death and Stalin simply murdered anyone who tried to tell about it. It was years before the truth of what was happening behind his Iron Curtain, as Winston Churchill called it, came out.

But what FDR did with the 1935 bill was add protection to the unemployed, something that was totally anathema to the Marxist concept. Yes, the US Government established a work program, the WPA, but there were some people who did not or could not work. In Marxist theory, these people should have been allowed to die off. They would become the collateral damage of establishing a new social order, as one former American President described them. By extending this protection to non-workers, FDR created a class of individuals who were dependent on the Government for their sustenance without contributing to the fund from which that sustenance derived. Some may think this is great, it will provide for those that can’t provide for themselves. Well, consider this story that was told to me…..

A mouse is placed in a glass jar filled with its favorite grain, corn. He thinks to himself, this is Amazing! I don’t have to search for food any longer, fearing for my life, wondering whether I will starve or not. So the mouse beings to eat freely whenever he wants. As time goes on, he begins to taste some things that he doesn’t necessarily like, but hey, there is still plenty of corn, so he dismisses the things he doesn’t like and continues to eat the free corn. More time passes and now the mouse is at the bottom of the glass jar and he finds nothing but dirt, rock, and weeds. No more corn. Then the mouse realizes that he is at the bottom of the jar and cannot even climb out to go find food for himself. Then one day, some corn is dropped into the jar. He thinks I am saved, I have corn to eat. But the corn does not come when he wants. Now he realizes that the food will only come when someone drops it into the jar, otherwise, he has nothing to eat. At that moment, he begins to think that he is doomed because he is now at the mercy of someone else for his food and he is no longer able to forge for himself, so if no one drops corn into the jar, he will surely starve to death.

The 1935 bill created the underclass that Marx warned about, a class of non-workers that Politicians would keep subservient to them in order to ensure their elections. But to what end? Marx called the politicians who used this subservient class, Reactionaries because they were using their political power to return the government/society to something that had gone before and was not progressing towards the sought-after Communist utopia. But just what is it that the people who run the Democratic Party want to return to?

For Stalin, the only kind of Totalitarian government they knew was the Tsar. Remember, they had been ruled by one family since the 1600s, yet the first Tsar was Ivan the Terrible, and he took control in 1547. Europe had seen various families controlling the governments of vast regions of the continent: Frederick III, a Habsburg, was confirmed the first Holy Roman Emperor in 1452. The last Habsburg Emperor, Frans Joseph died in 1916. At one point in European history, there was a Habsburg on virtually every throne in Europe except England. The Prussian states, which eventually became Germany had the Hohenzollerns. France had the Bourbons. England had the Plantagenets, Stuarts, and others. So, when we look at the history of European Totalitarians, the “Left” has numerous examples of ruling families to emulate in the New World Order.

But, what about America? We have never had a ruling family. But, we have had people who knew how to rule on the same level of subjugation. Remember Andrew Jackson and his plantation? Just look at Cuba and Venezuela. The Castros, hiding behind the façade of communism/socialism have basically reinstated the old Colonial paradigm with themselves as the rulers over a captive population, Venezuela, the same. The colonial paradigm works as long as the conquered colonials are kept a step or two above the level of desperation. Only desperate people revolt.

In America, the paradigm is the Plantation, and as we have seen from history 1620-1865, the Plantation system works. It wasn’t the slaves who rebelled and started the Civil War. It was the plantations’ economic competitors in the North. On a plantation, you had masters and slaves. The slaves worked to provide the master with things to sell (cotton or tobacco); the master would sell those commodities and then provide the slaves with what they needed to live from clothes to food to shelter to medical.
