00:00:26.020This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
00:00:56.020And, of course, before I begin, let me remind you that we are doing a conference this November.
00:01:01.020Go to newchristianright.com slash conference.
00:01:04.240Use the promo code Harrison to get 20% off, and I hope to see you there.
00:01:07.700So without any further ado, communism, the specter of communism.
00:01:13.300A lot of democratic socialists, so-called, have won elections in the United States recently,
00:01:18.740and this has caused a bit of a panic in the GOP and Republicans.
00:01:22.440and I'm here to try to instruct them on how to deal with modern communism because modern
00:01:29.420communism is very different than the communism that we're used to in the past but it's much more
00:01:34.520virulent and dangerous at this moment and it is a real threat that we have to actually contend with
00:01:41.480and I find this a little bit strange. I was born the tail end of 1989 meaning for my whole life
00:01:48.200communism has kind of been a joke. I remember being in high school and we'd make movies and
00:01:53.500we always made the bad guys communists because it was funny to have the hero be like, stop,
00:01:58.900communists, because it was this joke. They didn't exist anymore. They were a relic from the past
00:02:03.620that we'd never experienced in our own lives. That, of course, was because of the
00:02:07.720fall of the Soviet Union. However, ever since the fall of the Soviet Union,
00:02:12.040it feels like we've stopped playing defense. It feels like we've sort of assumed everybody knows
00:02:17.700communists lost you know communism is the worst ever everybody knows that we don't have to defend
00:02:25.340against it anymore we don't have to argue against it anymore it's been treated as an assumption
00:02:29.780that's no longer an assumption that you can make communism is coming back in a very real way
00:02:35.040and we're going to define exactly what communism is where it comes from what motivates it because
00:02:41.280it is not so much an economic system as a total inversion of life itself. There's a false dichotomy,
00:02:50.920I think, that's been put forward between capitalism and communism. Yet, if you look
00:02:56.320back through history, this was never seen as an economic battle. This was always seen as a battle
00:03:01.960of value, a battle of morals, a battle of who you are as a race, as humanity. What is humanity's
00:03:09.460purpose. This is much, much deeper than economics. Economics are sort of the springboard that it
00:03:15.580comes from. It's what inspires a lot of people today to be looking at communism and wanting to
00:03:22.740try it out, thinking, hey, maybe this time it'll work. But let me give you some examples. First of
00:03:28.140all, this has caused a very real sort of panic and sense of crisis for the Republicans. They're
00:03:36.420posting things like this from the House GOP. It's easier to like socialism in a college seminar.
00:03:44.200It's a lot harder to like it in the breadline.
00:03:48.560This is not going to work anymore. What I'm here to tell you, what I'm here to tell the Republicans,
00:03:53.880this is no longer sufficient to defeat the specter of communism that's currently bubbling up from the
00:04:00.440muck and threatening to kill us all. These little quippy one-liners are not enough to stave off the
00:04:07.100avalanche of economic uncertainty that they've been slowly building up and we're all just waiting
00:04:13.540to come crashing down on all of our heads. So they've decided to make this a central core of
00:04:21.040their messaging moving into the midterms and moving forward to 2028. Of course, following the
00:04:26.720victory of democratic socialists. You had headlines like this, democratic socialists
00:04:32.180are on a winning streak. Here's what that means for the Democrats. And of course, one thing we
00:04:36.100know about the Democrats, conversely, and differently than the Republicans, they embrace
00:04:42.880their radicals. The Democrats do not demand that their sort of more extreme elements of their
00:04:48.480party be totally ostracized and kicked out and forbidden from reaching any power. They actually
00:04:54.500work with the radicals. They actually are happy to collaborate with the radicals. I'm not even
00:04:59.160saying whether that's a virtue or not, but it is effective. And it does mean that this specter,
00:05:04.240the rising specter of Democratic Socialists of America, who are, of course, just communists,
00:05:09.760they're just communists. In fact, I think I have a video, but I may have. Yeah, we got it.
00:05:16.780We got it here. I'll pull it in and I'll show you because it's
00:05:21.380It's because I feel like I need to back this up because these people are so infinitely dishonest and it's a they wield strategies and methods that only work with a gullible and trusting populace.
00:05:41.940They are avowed communists. They are open communists. They are explicitly communists.
00:05:47.500But they say, but you know, not, but I'm not though. And it's like, okay, he's not a communist.
00:05:51.920So now if you say, well, the DSA are just communists, they say, whoa, whoa, no, we're
00:05:55.100democratic socialists. Okay. Oh, I'm sure. We're all, we're all falling for that one. Meanwhile,
00:06:02.640this is what they really sound like. Let me see if I can play this.
00:06:05.980I mean, our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism.
00:06:08.360Yes, we know. Yes, we know. That was, I believe his name is David Jenkins, one of the main leaders
00:06:14.460of DSA. But yes, they are literal communists. This really isn't even a question. And again,
00:06:20.160we're seeing Trump and Republicans sort of wake up to this threat. They really should have been
00:06:25.400awake to it more and earlier. But again, what we're going to do here, not just talk about the
00:06:31.100rising threat of communism, I really want to try to instruct the Republicans on how to defeat this
00:06:36.980because there's one of two situations. Either they really are sincerely terrified by the
00:06:42.680specter of communism as they should be. We've seen communism in the past. There are no limitations
00:06:48.480to their behavior once they get into power. I'll show you a video in a second. Mike Johnson
00:06:53.040talking about communism. He actually sounds scared of this and he should be because they
00:06:57.920will drag his family out of their beds and throw them into gulags or hang them in the town square.0.92
00:07:02.180These people are vicious and they are planning a communist revolution. I'll present that to you0.99
00:07:06.080by the end of the show today. But what I want to point out is that these people, if they are either,
00:07:10.620they are sincerely terrified of communism, in which case they are not acting like that. They're
00:07:15.620not doing what's necessary. They're not actually solving the problems that are causing people to
00:07:20.800turn to communism. So if they're sincere about wanting to defeat communism, I have some ideas
00:07:26.220that I think could help, and I want to present those. But the other option is that they're not
00:07:30.780actually trying to stop communism, that they know that there's basically a communist uprising being
00:07:36.380planned. Again, I'll bring you this information by the end of the show. And that they think this
00:07:42.180will be useful in retaining power. So we're going to lay out all of this, but let's first look at
00:07:48.800some of the things Trump and people like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson are saying about
00:07:53.160communism. And then we'll go back in time and look at the history of America's combat,
00:07:57.980our conflict with the specter of international communism. And we'll see how we should really
00:08:03.620be approaching this because the economic approach is a losing one without some major changes.
00:08:09.620But first here is Trump giving a speech recently where he invokes
00:08:14.520the terror, the threat of international communism.
00:08:19.820As we're seeing now, communism is the greatest threat to our country, including,
00:08:24.160i believe this you know when i said it i said boy that's pretty severe but i
00:08:28.600think it's true it's the biggest threat to our country including world war one
00:08:33.340world war ii pearl harbor september 11th i think it's a bigger threat potentially a bigger threat
00:08:40.600than that because it's like a cancer that spreads and you better stop it fast we will never let the
00:08:47.160United States become a communist country. Won't happen. I mean, our goal is liberation. Our goal
00:08:54.500is communism. And of course, the scene of Donald Trump in front of a bunch of white guys dressed
00:09:01.920like Teddy Roosevelt is sort of the best image for this. Which again, I think he's sincere when
00:09:08.540he's like, this is the biggest threat we've ever faced and America will never become communist.
00:09:13.420It's good to see that this fight is happening again.
00:09:16.820Because like I said before, as soon as the Soviet Union fell, it's like we lowered our guard.0.90
00:09:46.960What you see is America struggling to keep its head above water as the communist influences
00:09:51.980in America, even during the heights of the Cold War, made major inroads into our major
00:09:57.540institutions, including our academia and politics.
00:10:01.300The art world has completely abandoned beauty.
00:10:04.600What used to point people towards truth now celebrates chaos, ugliness, and radical individualism.
00:10:12.620That's not an accident. It's the fruit of a culture that has ultimately rejected God.
00:10:18.100See, art is not neutral. It disciples people.
00:10:22.080Jacob Dinman of Dinman Originals is working to reclaim fine art for Christ and for America.
00:10:29.300His paintings aren't just decorations. They're statements.
00:10:33.300Pieces like A New Manifest Destiny and Heritage Revival present a vision of an American Renaissance rooted in Christian faith, ordered liberty, and the inheritance our fathers handed down to us.
00:10:49.180And there's something for every budget.
00:10:51.440You can start with high-quality art prints for just $40.
00:10:55.240You could purchase hand-drawn original sketches for only $100 or invest in a one-of-one original
00:11:03.140painting, each of these representing hundreds of hours of work.0.86
00:11:08.260If we're serious about rebuilding Christian civilization, we should surround ourselves
00:11:13.280with the things that remind us of what's true, what's good, and what's beautiful.
00:11:18.860Check out the link in the description below to see the full collection from Dimon Originals.
00:11:25.240Everyone's watching missiles and fighter jets, but the real bottleneck in modern warfare is
00:11:30.800our supply chain. Almost every advanced weapon system relies upon tungsten, and the United
00:11:37.240States has not commercially mined this mineral in nearly a decade. Washington knows that that's
00:11:44.100a problem. That's why the Pentagon has invested millions into restarting domestic tungsten
00:11:50.720production. And the Trump administration has just launched something called Project Vault,
00:11:56.620a $12 billion initiative to rebuild America's critical mineral supply chain. That's where
00:12:03.980Vault Strategic Mining comes in, trading under KNXFF in the U.S. and NOX, KNOX in Canada.
00:12:13.860Vault is acquiring historic American tungsten mines and bringing them back into production
00:12:22.880As America moves to secure the materials essential for national defense,
00:12:28.380companies' position to supply them could become increasingly important.
00:12:33.380So, to learn more about Vault Strategic Mining and its projects,
00:12:37.880check out the link in the description below.
00:12:40.220And a special thanks to Vault Strategic Mining for sponsoring today's episode.
00:12:45.600But that was, you know, Trump calling it a cancer.
00:12:48.320And that's sort of where we're at at this point is we've been to the doctor, we've been diagnosed with cancer, it's metastasizing, it's spreading, and right now it's like the patient, that is the Republicans, are sort of freaking out and running around being like, we have cancer, we have cancer, what do we do? What do we do about having cancer? We've got to do something about cancer.
00:13:09.000And it's like, okay, you have to treat the cancer. You have to understand the cancer so you can treat the cancer. So I'm the doctor. I will be your physician. I will be applying necessary remedies and instructing you and providing the diagnosis and prognosis moving forward to try to cure us of this cancer, not just run around screaming that we have cancer while it continues to grow and fester inside of us.
00:13:34.720we actually need to do something about it. Luckily, we have all the tools we could ever
00:13:39.860possibly need. This is, once again, folds into my common saying, and it's once again a factor
00:13:49.000of proof for it, is all America needs to succeed is ruthless application of existing law. We don't
00:13:55.520need new laws. We don't need a revolutionary new system. We have the laws on the books. As long as
00:14:02.520they're being enforced, we wouldn't have an issue. Many of the DSA members who got elected this year,
00:14:08.820many of their voters, they're foreigners. They're here by permission. They weren't born here. They
00:14:15.800don't have a birthright to America. They're guests of ours, and they can be kicked out,
00:14:21.560and they should be because every single person who becomes an American citizen swears that they're
00:14:27.200not communists. So if you swear you're not a communist in order to become an American citizen,
00:14:32.420but it turns out you vote communist and are a part of communist groups, you lose your
00:14:37.500citizenship. That's the law. It's just not enforced. Mom Donnie should not be mayor of
00:14:42.680New York because he should have been expelled from the country because of his ties to communist
00:14:47.180groups. And they don't have to be explicitly communist. This is another thing that it makes
00:14:52.100our law enforcement utterly impotent is that, I guess, it's illegal still, the Communist
00:14:59.860Control Act of 1954 is still in place, still illegal to be communists, so they just call
00:15:04.560themselves workers' rights, co-ops, democratic socialists of America, but they're communists.
00:15:10.340But for some reason, if they don't say they're communists, it's like we can't call them that.
00:15:20.840And this gets us to sort of the point of all of this, which is what is driving people to communism?
00:15:27.340If you don't understand the motivation for people who are moving to communism,
00:15:32.380how are you going to stop them from moving to communism?
00:15:35.920And of course, it appears as though the Trump administration and the current crop of Republicans,
00:15:41.060they're like actively hostile to the idea of understanding these things.
00:15:46.520Caroline Levitt was interviewed about a week ago about the economic situation, especially amongst Zoomers, but sort of the younger you get, the worse the economic system is and people are feeling hopeless. And, you know, her response was essentially pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It's your fault because you're lazy.
00:16:02.260This is the worst possible way to react to this because right now people are suffering. The economic system is completely demented. It is not working for anybody except the people at the very top. You have to be able to recognize that.0.76
00:16:16.240The problem is with this false dichotomy of capitalism versus communism, which is a false dichotomy, people think that any sort of desire to see our economic system better serve equality, limit inequality – we talk about the richest, getting richer, getting more and more share of the economic pie.
00:16:42.620That is not an inherently communistic idea. That's an American idea. And this will be sort of my
00:16:49.020thesis for this whole presentation is rejecting the false dichotomy of capitalism versus communism
00:16:54.720and embracing the third way, which is Americanism, which is why I said it's appropriate that the guys
00:16:59.720behind Donald Trump are dressed up like Teddy Roosevelt. He was the trust buster, right? Just
00:17:04.760like Andrew Jackson busted up the banks. This is not un-American. This is deeply American.
00:17:11.520The American government has been impaneled so that we Americans collectively can wield authority over people who want to do us harm.
00:17:23.100The point of the American government, the way it should be used, is to stop people from being exploited by corporations, being taken advantage of when the corporations donate to open the border so they can hire scab workers.
00:17:38.400This is a demented and twisted form of crypto socialism where all of the government benefits are given directly to corporations and the billionaires that run them. That's wrong and bad and is anti-American.
00:17:54.200and you know we're going to talk about violence in another episode left is violence but
00:17:59.320you know it makes me think of the killing of the health care executive by luigi mangioni0.95
00:18:05.420and this idea that he's a socialist and he murdered this cap this big capitalist pig0.71
00:18:11.400and it's like well what happened after that the only thing that happened was0.86
00:18:14.700the fellow executives got bonuses so they could hire security and keep themselves more separate
00:18:21.580from the average person. It's actually a great thing and a very American thing that millionaires
00:18:28.460and billionaires are walking down the street looking no different than anybody else. That's
00:18:34.040a deeply American concept that sitting at the bar or at the diner, you got a billionaire sitting
00:18:41.180next to a farm worker and they're equal in the eyes of the law and they're equal in the eyes
00:18:47.640of society. That's a really beautiful thing. That doesn't exist in socialist countries. The more
00:18:52.440socialist you become, the more isolated and separated the upper classes become because
00:18:58.720things get more dangerous as prosperity collapses and crime rises. The people who have the money
00:19:05.440pay for their own private police forces, pay for their own private security, helicopter from one
00:19:09.940roof building, building of one roof to the next. They never even have to walk on the ground with
00:19:14.500the peasants. It's actually a good and beautiful thing to have everybody of every class equal in
00:19:21.800your country and not being separated and upset apart from everybody else. Socialism leads us
00:19:28.040to that bifurcation. But at the same time, it's that inequality that's been created through the
00:19:33.700excesses of capitalism that provides the motivation for the people on the ground who want socialism.
00:19:38.920So long story short, you have to actually deal with the economic uncertainties. You have to actually provide a decent argument as to why our system actually serves the people and isn't just a tool of the capitalist manipulators to exploit everybody to a maximal degree, which is our situation now.
00:19:58.560We have to correct that. The government has to actually step in and stop private equity from looting the retirement funds so they can buy up profitable buildings, loot them, bankrupt them, and sell off the parts while firing thousands of people.
00:20:13.660The government has to stop H-1B visas being used to undercut American wages. The government has to stop bringing in foreigners to take up spots in our universities so that good jobs and good training can go to American people, not a bunch of foreign interlopers.0.91
00:20:28.560You have to actually do stuff to benefit the American people, to build up our economic0.98
00:20:32.920prosperity on the real level, not at the stock market level, which is totally disconnected
00:20:37.380and unassociated with the quality of life and the well-being of the average person on
00:27:09.840If only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different.
00:27:18.060So here's the actual speech the president and the press addressed before the American
00:27:22.080Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27th, 1961. So what he's saying, he's sort of half
00:27:29.580joking. But what he's saying is that basically because the newspaper had refused Karl Marx a
00:27:34.920raise, that's what sort of tipped him over the edge and caused him to write the Communist
00:27:38.960Manifesto. It's a big tongue in cheek, but what he points to is actually a much deeper truth.
00:27:46.040And it's actually something that's worth paying attention to. It goes to the heart of what I was
00:27:50.880just talking about with the marriage between the excesses of capitalism driving people into the
00:27:56.920arms of communism. Capitalism has to treat its workers well. You have to have something to
00:28:03.200motivate your workers. They have to actually believe in something. And interestingly,
00:28:06.640I was at a thrift store a couple months ago and I saw this framed image cut out of a Saturday
00:28:13.080evening post and framed up as an antique. I should have bought it because I talk about it all the
00:28:17.580time now. But this was actually an ad for American Mutual Life Insurance or something. But this was
00:28:24.660an ad from the Saturday Morning Post published in the late 40s, early 50s. And it says,
00:28:31.180Anarchy is the child of despair. Apart from the cranks, the money lusting exploiters of ignorance
00:28:37.040and the temperamental nihilist, nobody wants to go red. Nobody wants to become a communist. Men
00:28:42.220only go red if they are bitterly discontented. Let a man feel that he is oppressed and exploited,
00:28:48.760that his employer neither knows nor cares if he lives or dies, that whatever happens,
00:28:54.240he has nothing to lose. He listens with conviction to the agitator's vindictive foamings and to the
00:28:59.520promise of communist heaven on earth. But the contented workman with his family, his home,
00:29:04.820his savings, sure a fair treatment by his employer, secure against accident, is immune to the virus
00:29:10.100of the agitator. Class war, revolution, blood murder. What promise lies in these thoughts
00:29:16.420for the contented workmen. I mean, that's everything right there. You want to know
00:29:25.040why people are going to communism? It's because capitalism is failing them. It's because they're
00:29:31.140hungry for an alternative. And it's not enough to say, shut up and deal with it. It's not enough0.88
00:29:36.380to say communism lost, capitalism won, and we don't have to make the argument anymore. No,
00:29:42.140you have to make the argument and you have to prove the argument. Because the other thing I
00:29:45.580see is that people on the right, people in the Republican Party like to insist that people are
00:29:52.420communists because they've been brainwashed. And certainly there's something to that. I mean,
00:29:56.880the academies, the academic sector, the university system is replete with communists. There's no
00:30:02.560question about that. And they use their position in these organizations to push for their ideological
00:30:08.700capture. But also the effects are real, but also the economic effects are real and tangible. And
00:30:15.540affecting people's lives. And we see the exploitation, we see the consolidation, the
00:30:21.240universal gathering up into the biggest and most powerful companies, the resources of all
00:30:30.720of the smaller companies. I mean, we saw this during COVID where basically every small business
00:30:36.100in the country was forced to shut down. And we saw the most massive wealth transfer from the
00:30:41.380middle class and the lower class to the upper class than we've ever seen before. And hundreds
00:30:45.900of thousands of small businesses shuttered while companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target saw their
00:30:52.160biggest profits of all time. Still to this day, the average corporate monstrosity is posting
00:31:00.240record profits, but the wages are going down. This is an issue you have to actually deal with.
00:31:05.560This is an issue you have to actually confront. And you solve this problem by solving the causes
00:31:12.280of the problem. You can't just treat the symptoms, which is what communism does, right? It looks at
00:31:18.940the effects of inequality and says, this is bad. We have to forcibly, you know, solve this by
00:31:24.940just taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor. Theoretically, that's how it should
00:31:30.140work, that doesn't make any sense. You didn't get here that way. You can't undo it that way.
00:31:36.440You have to actually solve the problem, right? It's like my dad used to always say,
00:31:42.260if you have a headache, it's not because you have a Tylenol deficiency, right? There's a problem
00:31:46.440that the headache that's causing the headache. You have to solve that, not just patch it over
00:31:51.240or try to cover it up. And so you have to get rid of the illegal immigrants that are undercutting1.00
00:31:57.500wages. Get rid of the legal immigrants that are undercutting wages. Get rid of the corporate1.00
00:32:04.100regulation structure that stops small businesses from being created, but benefits big businesses.
00:32:09.400Stop private equity from taking advantage of our retirement funds to backfill their failures
00:32:17.920as they systematically bankrupt otherwise profitable businesses across the country,
00:32:22.960including Joanne's Fabric, whose stores, 95% of them were profitable, but goes into bankruptcy
00:32:28.280as soon as private equity buys them, closing down hundreds of brick and mortar locations,
00:32:35.260destroying communities, forcing people into retirement. This has massive negative societal
00:32:41.840consequences that go totally unaddressed by people who are focused entirely on the financial aspects
00:32:48.840Because I think this is not a financial situation. The financial troubles that people are in are causing them to look around and desire something else. The financial unfairness of our current system is what is causing a lot of the problems, but the problems themselves are the problems of a broken society.
00:33:10.880You know, this might be a little obscure, but it's the idea of, like, if a young person could create a family, could have a house, feel secure, feel like their efforts are being rewarded, you know, that could exist in a feudal system where peasants don't have money but live entirely off the street.
00:33:34.860It's not about the money. It's about what we don't have anymore, which is community and cohesiveness and common understanding of the world around us and a belief, at least a trust that our fellow Americans believe like we do and aren't just trying to exploit everybody, but we're actually all involved in this communal activity of building and establishing and maintaining a society that's fair for everybody.
00:33:57.820If you can't prove that, if you can't provide that, if instead you have a bunch of young people who can't get a job because they didn't get into the school, so they can't make a down payment on a house, so they don't feel like they're in a place to start a family, and they can't go out and meet people because they don't have any excess cash to go to bars or do anything fun, all of these things are problems.
00:34:21.080And they're all downstream from the exploitation of capitalism. And you have to recognize that and take measures against it so that you don't have people going over towards a wholesale destruction of the entire system as it exists.
00:34:34.820Now, this gets a little bit confusing and complicated when you get into the ideological aspects and when you remove it from the economic aspects and you look at, like, who are these people and what do they actually desire?
00:34:44.480It's all totally incoherent and inconsistent.
00:35:09.320And so when people like Marco Rubio talk about how what motivates communists is a desire to tear down civilization, that's because civilization as it exists, the civilization that we exist in in America, but really the only civilization that has ever achieved the level of progress and prosperity that defined the 19th century and 20th century, that was Western Christian civilization.
00:35:36.860By the time Western Christian civilization was entering into the Industrial Revolution and building steam engines, you know, Africa was still in the Stone Age for 90% of it.
00:35:50.560China was still binding people's feet so that women couldn't actually walk anywhere and were selling people.0.87
00:35:57.840The Middle East basically hadn't progressed in 1,200 years.
00:36:01.720it was a it was european civilization that established what everybody around the world
00:36:08.840now understands as civilization so the people that are against this civilization they are
00:36:15.020genuinely literally against the concept of civilization what they're in favor of is some0.69
00:36:19.860sort of highly organized barbarism right china right now is communist yes their prosperity comes0.82
00:36:27.620from their capitalistic inclination and tendencies, but they are still ruthless. There are still0.91
00:36:34.280videos that come out of Chinese dissidents being chained to chairs and tortured
00:36:38.500because they opposed the Communist Party. That still exists there. It is still barbarous0.81
00:36:43.240to a disturbing degree. But when you look at the things that are motivating these people,
00:36:49.700It is a genuine hatred inspired mostly by envy and jealousy of Western civilization, white people, Christians, and men.
00:37:01.700It's an ideology of weakness, communism.
00:37:05.780However, do not let that fool you into a false sense of security.
00:37:10.780This is the real danger of the rise of communism is that people in the West, people in America, they genuinely think you can just sort of roll your eyes and scoff at it and that it goes away. It doesn't go away. And I'll show you the sort of history of communist revolutions here in just a second.
00:37:29.780But getting back to sort of the past and the Cold War and, you know, as JFK's talking, he's pointing out, you've got to treat your workers well or else you're going to have no reason to want to support your system.
00:37:44.260And it's not just that people who are treated well by capitalism have no reason to go communist.
00:37:49.260They actually have incentive to fight for the system they have.
00:37:52.160If you have a house and a family and a nice job and you're happy, you're going to fight like hell to keep that going.
00:37:58.980You're going to do everything you can to stop communists coming in and tearing that down.
00:38:03.220If, however, you're 30 years old living at your parents' house as an incel, there's not a lot of, you know, there's nothing to look around to go, you want to lose all of this?
00:38:16.420So, of course, you're going to go over to communism.
00:38:17.660But this was never understood as far as I can tell. This was never understood during the Cold War as a conflict between capitalism and communism because capitalism is just an economic system. It is a consequence of freedom. It is an outgrowth of liberty.
00:38:37.740capitalism is just what happens when people are free to barter and exchange goods they tend to
00:38:43.980do that and money and profit is the best way and really the only way we've ever found to
00:38:48.420successfully manage large populations especially in their collective activities profit is the key
00:38:54.820is the key to that and it's necessary for that but capitalism is not something that i'm fighting
00:39:01.540for it's not something i'd die for it's not a philosophy it's not an ideology it's a it's an
00:39:05.420economic system. And this is one of the things that no one's going to be motivated to fight for
00:39:11.460capitalism. You're motivated to fight for freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of association.
00:39:15.420Capitalism, like I said, is a outgrowth or a consequence of that. And I can illustrate this
00:39:21.420very simply with things like, in God we trust. That phrase, in God we trust, was put on our money
00:39:30.180in the 1950s as a direct response to the atheistic godlessness of communism. We didn't
00:39:37.820put money on our altars. We put God on our money. This was a battle of civilization,
00:39:44.220a battle of moral, a moral foundation. Are we a Christian nation that believes in humanity,
00:39:51.540the human spirit, human flourishing, or are we a communist, atheistic, materialistic nation?
00:39:55.920that's the divide that's the actual you know war that we're fighting here it's not for capitalism
00:40:02.740and capitalism in many cases in many ways is detrimental to our fight and has to be restrained
00:40:09.340and has to be controlled to some degree by the government again trusts have to be busted0.92
00:40:17.560monopolies have to be dismantled exploitation has to be prevented scab workers from around the world0.63
00:40:24.660have to not be allowed to compete with Americans to drive down our wages.0.86
00:40:29.640That's the job of the government to step in and make sure that those excesses aren't driving
00:40:33.780people away from capitalism and towards communism. Until you do that, all of the clever quips of
00:40:39.220yours are going to fall on deaf ears. And so you have things like this. This was the statement of
00:40:44.620President Dwight D. Eisenhower upon signing a bill to include the words under God to the Pledge
00:40:49.340of Allegiance. So in, I believe, 54, they added under God to the Pledge of Allegiance. And then
00:40:53.580in 1956, they added, in God we trust to our money. This was his comment in adding it to the
00:40:59.020Pledge of Allegiance. It says, from this day forward, the millions of our school children
00:41:04.220will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of
00:41:09.280our nation and our people to the Almighty. To anyone who truly loves America, nothing could
00:41:13.900be more inspiring than to contemplate this rededication of our youth on each school
00:41:18.380morning to our country's true meaning. Especially is this meaningful as we regard today's world?
00:41:23.580Over the globe, mankind has been cruelly torn by violence and brutality and by the millions
00:41:28.240deadened in the mind and soul by materialistic philosophy of life, by a materialistic philosophy
00:45:18.080Like people don't understand how many times this has been tried.
00:45:21.600So the idea that like it could never happen here,
00:45:23.680it's happened just about everywhere else.
00:45:26.500And so you see everything from the Paris Commune,
00:45:28.500the French Revolution, the Mexican Revolution,
00:45:30.500the Russian Revolution obviously was a major one
00:45:32.540starting the Soviet Union. And the other thing you have to understand, people have this assumption
00:45:36.760that communism will intrinsically fail, that it will inevitably fail. That is not at all true.
00:45:41.560And I'll prove that here in just a second. But even just take the example everybody knows,
00:45:45.420the Soviet Union existed for 80 years. It was the most brutal form of communism you could ever0.52
00:45:51.560imagine. And yet it existed for generation upon generation upon generation during a time in which
00:45:57.760the most powerful country in the world, was diametrically opposed to it and working on
00:46:03.140every front to disable, dismantle, or destroy it. So if the communist revolution in Russia,
00:46:09.800the most brutal, inefficient, retarded version of communism, could last for 80 years with a primary0.99
00:46:16.640rival trying to destroy it the whole time, how long do you think it would last if it took over1.00
00:46:20.860America and there was nobody else in the world fighting to free us? It could feasibly last
00:46:26.260forever. Similarly, you know, look at South Africa. South Africa, they're having protests
00:46:31.560and riots today dealing with illegal immigration. South Africa has collapsed. It is in a state of
00:46:39.680total freefall. They can't keep the lights on half the day, yet people are still moving into
00:46:46.060South Africa to try to take advantage of their welfare system. They're still leftists in South
00:46:49.760Africa. My point is people have this assumption, especially in America, that either communism will
00:46:55.820be tried and it will collapse under its own weight inevitably. And it's not even really that big of
00:47:00.660a threat because it's such a dumb system or that if a collapse occurs, it will happen instantly.0.75
00:47:05.720And you'll be able to get all of your prepper gear and go hide out in the mountains and come0.98
00:47:10.140back and rebuild society. It's not how any of this works. Communism, when instated, when installed
00:47:14.940can last for an excruciating long time, excruciatingly long time, potentially forever.
00:47:23.120The collapse when it comes is not a instant thing that suddenly the lights are off. That could happen, certainly. But much more likely is the South Africa style where things just steadily degrade and get worse forever and there's never any impetus to reverse it.
00:47:36.740So when studying communist revolutions, understand they happen a lot and they're often successful.0.83
00:47:49.120Whether the state is successful, we'll get to that.
00:47:52.540But again, I'm using ChatGPT to just sort of parse through large amounts of data here.
00:47:56.660And these are the numbers that we're interested in.
00:48:00.140So the number of attempted major communist socialist revolutions is between 35 and 40.
00:48:05.660succeeded in taking national power 11 to 13. So that's like a quarter of them. So 25% of the time
00:48:13.520that a communist revolution pops off, it works. It succeeds. They take national power. Initially
00:48:19.780succeeded, but later collapsed or were overthrown only three to five. That includes Afghanistan,
00:48:24.200Hungarian Soviet Republic, Paris Commune, Bavarian Soviet Republic. So very small,
00:48:28.020very sort of inconsequential examples, you know, don't always last. The ones that last are ones
00:48:35.280like Russia. Here's the important part. Defeated militarily 20 to 25, including Finland, Germany,1.00
00:48:43.020Spain, Greece, Malaya, and we're going to look at these. Only two to three were ever ended by
00:48:48.200settlement or political compromise. Are you starting to see the lesson I'll be teaching here?
00:48:55.560So of those that succeeded, only around three lasted under five years. Three of them lasted
00:49:01.320five to 20 years, but seven of them lasted over 20 years with Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, China,
00:49:07.880and North Korea still under communist control. So the idea that communism has been tried and
00:49:14.260it's never worked, it's not true with China. I could point to China and say, here's a communist
00:49:19.440revolution that succeeded. And you could say, well, it's not real communism, but it's like,
00:49:24.080okay, and? And that's interesting because that's sort of the inverse of what you typically hear,
00:49:29.180You hear a right-winger say, communism's never worked. And the left-winger says,
00:49:34.100that wasn't real communism. And then you flip it when it comes to China, you go,
00:49:37.420China works, it's communist. And the right-winger goes, that's not real communism.
00:49:40.900All right, well, squabbles, squibbles. These are semantics. So how did the attempts fail?
00:49:50.200Of the 25 to 30 unsuccessful attempts, 85 to 90 of them were destroyed by military force.
00:49:59.180This is the point of this entire video. The communist revolution is being built as we speak.
00:50:07.180They are going to try it here in America. They're building their political power.
00:50:11.420They're insinuating themselves into our institutions. They're making plans for a
00:50:15.340nationwide strike to cripple the entire American economy for an indefinite period until they get
00:50:21.660the demands they want, which include fully communistic, you know, recreations of the
00:50:27.900the healthcare system, and a bunch of other stuff. They're doing this.
00:50:32.540Throughout history, the only thing that has successfully crushed communist revolutions
00:50:38.380is violent military intervention. That's the lesson you'll learn from history when you study it.
00:50:46.020Okay? One notable pattern, before 1917, almost every socialist proto-communist uprising failed.
00:50:52.800After the Bolshevik revolution, success became much more common, largely because communist
00:50:56.840parties had proven an organizational model, Leninism. The Soviet Union provided ideological,
00:51:01.260financial, military, or diplomatic support. Many post-1945 revolutions occurred in the context
00:51:05.860of decolonization after the Cold War. So a lot of these communist revolutions,
00:51:10.120whether they happened at the late end of the 1800s or early 1900s, it was a new thing. They
00:51:15.880were trying to figure it out. It was messy and not a clean surgical operation. It'll be different
00:51:23.460this time. They're putting things into place. They're planning in a very sophisticated way.
00:51:29.020And don't forget that the American military has been purged year over year of their patriotic
00:51:35.460recruits. I know that sounds crazy that there aren't patriots in the army, but remember,
00:51:40.040they went around and claimed that you were an extremist and kicked you out of the army if you
00:51:43.980had a Gadsden flag or a Betsy Ross flag. And they did a couple rounds of this, and they did expel
00:51:50.280people from the army. They expelled people who they thought had sincere dedication and
00:51:56.000understanding to our Bill of Rights and our founding history. They are working to purge
00:52:01.900the military of anybody who would resist unlawful communistic orders. And they've been doing this
00:52:07.100for years. All of this stuff has been preparing for years. So the question is, when they actually
00:52:11.440launch the attack, what is our response going to be? If it's informed by history, it must be
00:52:16.400military in nature. And honestly, we shouldn't wait for the revolution to pop off. We know how
00:52:21.940this goes. We know where it ends up. So again, we can go through some of these revolutions.
00:52:27.900And what I was asking was about worker strikes. And you can see that in some of the most effective
00:52:34.960and successful or nearly successful revolutions, it always involves and starts with and is initiated
00:52:42.200by massive strikes. Russian Revolution, mass strikes nationwide. Russian February Revolution,
00:52:48.540general strike crippled Petrograd. Russian Revolution in October 1917, worker Soviets
00:52:54.860provided legitimacy. That just means worker conferences, worker committees. German Revolution0.58
00:53:02.6201918, probably the most important one to understand for our purposes. Massive worker and soldier
00:53:06.960councils formed. So it follows a familiar pattern. Communists get into workers' co-ops,
00:53:16.820get into the workers' unions. They agitate. They cause strikes. They cause economic downturn. The
00:53:23.360government, usually an act of desperation, tries to violently crush it and shut it down. That
00:53:27.600inspires a violent pushback. It spirals out of control. Soon the whole state is in a state of
00:53:33.820civil war and you have the official authorities trying to fight back against this uprising swell
00:53:39.800of worker extremism, but they're hampered in doing that because the communists have already
00:53:45.140infiltrated into the army and various aspects of the government and the workers' unions have
00:53:51.180already established methods of communication and shared information. So this is the way that it
00:53:57.900works. And this is ultimately important in understanding at this moment because of what's
00:54:03.440coming next. This, and actually I should start with this, why everyone should be preparing for
00:54:12.760May Day, 2028. If we're going to build enough collective power to win universal healthcare
00:54:17.820and the right to retire with dignity, then we need to tighten up. So on May Day, 2028,
00:54:24.780Every major union in America is planning on going on strike at the same time.
00:54:31.060This is being led by the largest union, the United Auto Workers, but involves a bunch of other unions as well.
00:54:37.200UAW President Sean Fain sure seems serious.
00:54:40.340As he wrote in these times in 2024, if we're to build enough collective power to win universal health care and the right to retire with dignity, then we need to spend the next four years getting prepared.
00:54:49.580Fain first announced the idea in fall 2023 after the UAW's historic stand-up strike won substantial gains from Big Three automakers.
00:54:55.360The UAW had previously aligned their contracts with the Big Three to expire together, but this time, the UAW is also asking unions from these sectors across the country to join and, as Fain put it, flex our collective muscles.
00:55:08.200The Chicago Teachers Union, the American Postal Workers Union, and other major unions have publicly supported the effort.
