Communism may have been defeated in parts of Eastern Europe, but it’s alive and well in Washington D.C.
While doing some research for an upcoming article I happened to be reading through a USAID (
United States Agency for International Development) report, I discovered this description of the USSR’s “progressive” feminism.
“Gender Equality: Despite a fairly progressive outlook and practical policies on gender equality promoted by the former Soviet Union, social and gender norms perpetuate gender inequalities, which are even more pronounced for marginalized populations.”
Probably a bit too late to ask how many Communists USAID has working for it. But that’s asking the wrong question because it’s more accurately an issue of how much of the left, which populates USAID, is Communist-friendly.
USAID, under Samantha Power, is usually in the news for aiding Islamic terrorists, but it’s useful to remember that’s only because it’s so red.
It figures that those reds would praise the glories of the USSR which did bill itself as being feminist (and also anti-racist and worker friendly) which was a lie. No one in the USSR had much in the way of rights, but women had less of them, and while the Bolsheviks initially pretended that they were going to break new ground in liberating women, by the time Stalin came on the scene (and even earlier), the whole thing was little more than tokenism. The USSR showed off women doing all sorts of things, like going into space, purely as political propaganda. In reality, life for women was frequently ugly and the things that American women had come to take for granted by the 1960s, being able to divorce an abusive husband, was a lot harder for Communist Party members. Legal equality was a meaningless fiction that required women to work as hard as men without gaining any rights thereby and retaining all the disadvantages.
You might call it a good summary of feminism.

If only we had another Senator McCarthy to hunt down and blow the cover off the leftists the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders protect

At first Lenin pioneered “free love” and such, but it was such a disaster that they took a step back. Hardly any of the Democrats seem to know about that bit of history.
Daniel Greenfield says
Lenin began to clamp down on some of the ‘free love’ elements early on. He forcibly married off one of the ‘free love’ feminists.

What leftists seem to miss is that although most conservatives don’t want to send more money to be wasted in Ukraine and prefer a diplomatic resolution to that war, conservatives are also NOT for Russia or Putin. Communism is not freedom and it seems liberals are trying to destroy our society to the point where Russian society looks normal by comparison.

This was all clearly spelled out, and predicted in 1963 when The 45 Communist Goals For America was read into the Congressional Record. Unfortunately, America went back to sleep and forgot. Here it is again. Read the list an see how many of these goals have in fact been achieved. https://www.marxists.org/subject/art/literature/children/ref/gov/gov1.html

Samantha Power always came across as a repellent drudge., like a good commisar.

Joseph Stalin of USSR fame, is known to have killed at least 9 million people through mass murder, forced labor, and famine, but the true figure may be as high as 60 million.
Like all communists, the first people they kill are minorities, gays, feminists, and others who stray from the communist dictate.
The USSR was such a great place that they had to build a wall to keep people from leaving.

This communist orientation indicates cultural Marxism. The assassination attempt, or indeed plot, against Donald Trump leads me to the term cultural Marxmanship.

The western left always ignore the fact that women never make it above mid-level management in communist countries, and the alphabet people go right back into the closet..
