You would be surprised at the extent to which communists have infiltrated our exceptional American government, infrastructure, and culture…

Communists, under whatever label they are currently using (Marxist, Socialist, Liberal, Progressive, Democratic Socialist, Leftist, Collectivist, Neo-Marxist, Maoist, Trotskyite, Leninist, etc.), have done a thorough job in discrediting and disgracing Senator Joseph McCarthy, who became well-known during the early 1950s for his efforts to identify and expose alleged communists and communist sympathizers in the United States. The sad truth is the communists won even though McCarthy was correct in his assertions.

Unveiling the Signs: How to Identify Marxists in Today's World

By paying attention to indicators such as a focus on class struggle, critiques of capitalism, talk of Critical race theory, “Trans rights,” Climate change, ESG–Environmental, Social and Governance, support for collectivism, and emphasis on social justice, you can start to recognize potential signs of Marxist leanings.

1. Advocacy for Class Struggle: Marxism emphasizes class struggle, asserting that society is divided into two primary classes: the oppressors and the oppressed. Everything is about a power struggle, and you must join the cause to address class disparities and inequality.

2. Critique of Capitalism: One of the fundamental tenets of Marxism is the critique of capitalism, especially by those who have profited greatly from the capitalist system and are now insulated from the consequences of their beliefs and behavior by their position and wealth. They are walking contradictions of the claim that capitalism equals exploitation.

3. Support for Collectivism and Social Ownership: Those who promote the idea of collective ownership and control over means of production often have little or n assets and thus have no skin in the game.

4. Emphasis on Social Justice and Equality: Individuals who strongly emphasize social justice and equality, aiming to create a society where all individuals have equal opportunities and access to resources, are excusing their lack of achievement because they are prevented from achieving their true potential or are virtue signaling.

1. Criticism of Imperialism and Colonialism: Outside of the British Empire and the Soviet Union, those who view imperialism and colonialism as extensions of capitalist exploitation do not understand history or recognize the progress that Imperialism and Colonialism brought to backward populations. They believe that the whole world is responsible for the economic and social inequalities perpetuated by these systems and advocate for wealth redistribution to address historical grievances.

2. Emphasis on Intersectionality: Intersectionality, the recognition of overlapping systems of oppression based on race, gender, class, and other social categories, is simply a method for compounding grievances and achieving superior ranking within the realm of marginalized individuals.

3. Support for Labor Movements and Unions: Marxism places great importance on the power and rights of the working class and regards organizing individuals as a means of achieving political power. Collective bargaining has given way to destructive political corruption.

4. Critique of Bourgeois Culture: Marxists often question and challenge the values, norms, traditions, and cultural practices associated with the affluent or middle class within a capitalist society.

5. Advertising: Marxists often advertise with symbolism. Feting pictures of Marx, mass murder Che Guevara, or sporting the logos of such groups as Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Democratic Socialists of America, and others.

The difficulty comes from identifying the useful idiots who have little or no clue about the nonsense they are spouting, the joiners who want to belong to something, the excitement seekers and those wanting to get laid, and the true believers.

Bottom line…

You can’t win the argument with logic or by citing facts. The opposition's emotionalism proves that emotion trumps facts.

The key is to point out painful situations like rising food and gas prices. Wonder if a regime change might fix things. Don’t argue; just walk away.

Remember, there will always be those who will listen to their friends, corrupt legacy media, and the guy in his basement as they refuse to take the time and effort to make their own inquiries.

We are so screwed as the elites manipulate the gullible minorities for their own tyrannical purposes.
