HOW COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM SOWS CHAOS IN POLITICS

By Cliff Reece

In Marxist theory, socialism is considered the transitional phase between capitalism and communism.

And that’s why we need to be aware of what is happening in Australia as well as in many other western nations – especially the UK – where governments are steadily shifting further to the left.

Once again, we’ve just witnessed the Albanese government join forces with Larissa Waters’ socialist Greens party to push through CGT legislation that is clearly detrimental to our nation - and especially to our younger people.

It’s a classic case of hard-left socialists imposing taxation and social constraints on people who are prepared to work hard and achieve success. And they have the cheek to call it ‘reform’.

This shouldn’t surprise us because history shows that is how socialism works – it forces division within society between those who desire personal freedom in their everyday lives and those who want to control every facet of our lives.

Turning people against each other by sowing division and hatred is the primary means by which hard-left political parties such as the Greens corrupt society, overturn its morality, and usurp political power to gain power.

In 1926, Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong wrote in his article “Analysis of Classes in Chinese Society”: “Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.”

The Communist Party arbitrarily creates concepts of class where none previously existed and then incites these arbitrarily divided groups to struggle against each other.

This is the strategy the communists use in their rise to power.

To promote its cause, the Communist Party selects and exaggerates certain issues that stem from the decline in moral values.

Then it claims that the root cause of these issues is not moral weakness, but rather the structure of society. It singles out particular classes as the “oppressors” and promotes popular struggle against these classes as being the solution to society’s ills.

The Communist Party promises that by overthrowing the so-called oppressors, an egalitarian utopia can be created. However, that’s never happened in human history.

In China, Mao’s innovation was to promise the peasants ownership of the land they worked on, the workers ownership of their factories, and the intellectuals freedom, peace, and democracy.

This turned peasants against landlords, workers against capitalists, and intellectuals against the government, allowing the Chinese Communist Party to seize power.

Millions of people consequently died from famines caused by their absurd policies.

In Algeria, communist leader Ahmed Ben Bella stirred up hatred between different religions and ethnic groups: Muslims against Christians, and the Arabs against the French. This became Ben Bella’s springboard to secure communist rule.

The success of the ‘American Dream’ in the USA de-emphasized concepts of social class and made it difficult to concoct class struggle in the United States.

But communism uses whatever opportunity it can to promote division. Using Unions, it magnifies conflicts between employees and employers.

It uses racial divides to foment struggle between different ethnic groups.

It promotes the women’s rights movement to foment struggle against the traditional social structure.

It creates divisions around sexual orientation, using the LGBTQ+ movement.

It divides the believers of different religions and uses “cultural diversity” to challenge traditional Western culture and heritage.

It divides people of different nationalities by pushing for the “rights” of illegal immigrants and creating conflicts between foreigners and citizens.

It pits illegal immigrants and the general public against law enforcement officers.

As society becomes increasingly atomized, a single misstep can trigger a struggle.

The seeds of hatred have by then been planted in the hearts of the masses, and this is precisely the sinister aim of communism.

Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin (pictured below) is widely quoted as saying, “We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, scorn and the like toward those who disagree with us.”

The political tactics used by hard-left socialists in the West employ all sorts of “social justice” issues to incite hatred and intensify social conflict.

According to Leonard Patterson, a former Communist Party member, communists are specifically trained in Leninist tactics for instigating and inflaming conflicts, such as transforming protests into violent riots and street fighting, as well as deliberately fabricating conflict where there was none to be found.

In contemporary America, communist groups have been involved in every large-scale social conflict or riot.

In 1991, footage widely broadcast by the media showed Rodney King, a black resident of Los Angeles, being beaten by white police officers after a high-speed chase.

The widely viewed clip cut out the first 15 seconds of footage, which showed King, a paroled felon, resisting arrest and behaving belligerently, though his vehicle companions had complied with police.

The four officers involved in the incident were ultimately acquitted of criminal charges.

After the verdict, a crowd of protesters outside the Los Angeles Police Department’s headquarters was about to disperse when something suddenly spurred them to riot.

Someone hit the back of a passing car with a metal sign, and the protest swiftly descended into violence, with burning, smashing, and looting.

When asked about the participation of communists in the incident, Los Angeles County Sheriff Sherman Block said that there was no question that the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) was involved in the rioting, looting, and arson.

During the events, fliers circulated by various communist groups, like the RCP, the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), and the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA), could be found all over the streets and college campuses.

One of the fliers distributed by the PLP read: “Avenge the King verdict! … all the racist cops must pay! … turn the guns around! Soldiers unite with the workers!”

According to a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department, people were already handing out such fliers before the verdict was even announced!

Whatever the profusion of organizations that incite riots and violence in Western society today may call themselves, be it ‘Anti-Fascist’, ‘Black Lives Matter’, or ‘Refuse Fascism’, they are all communist groups or proponents of communist ideas.

The violent Antifa group consists of people of various communist leanings, such as anarchists, socialists and social democrats.

Under the guise of exercising free speech, these groups work tirelessly to provoke conflicts in Western society. To understand their real objective, one need only look at a directive by the CPUSA to its members:

“When certain obstructionists (to Communism) become too irritating, label them, after suitable buildups, as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic and use the prestige of antifascist and tolerance organizations to discredit them.

“In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become ‘fact’ in the public mind.

“Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and degrade our critics.”

We’ve been warned!
