As always, the contents of this blog are a compendium of multiple media reports supplemented by my personal opinion, where indicated.
Did the Trojan Horse really exist? Or is it merely a mythological “tall tale?” Or is there an element of truth to it that has been exaggerated and embellished over the years? Historians have been arguing this forever, but whether it is truth, fiction or a combination of the two is of no consequence for this blog. The salient point I wish to make is that it was a classic example of deception that the radical left has been replicating to great success.
Briefly, after a ten-year war with the city of Troy the Greek army, unable to penetrate the walls of the city, pretended to give up. The bulk of the army sailed away leaving a large wooden horse. The Trojans, thinking it was a gift, dragged it inside the city. Unbeknownst to them, a select contingent of Greeks was sequestered inside the horse. During the night they came out and overwhelmed the Trojan guards. Then, joined by the returning army, they sacked the city.
Over the years the Trojan Horse has become a symbol of deception. I believe the commie/DSAs, aided and abetted by a compliant mainstream media, have been employing this Trojan Horse strategy to hide their true intent from the voting public. So far, it has been one of the all-time successful gaslighting strategies. They and the media portray themselves as “progressives” or “socialists,” and their candidates run under those labels, which, though leftist philosophies, are not extremely radical. Thus, they are fairly acceptable to mainstream Dems and many other voters, particularly those who are dissatisfied and frustrated with their lives and/or envious of others who are more successful.
On the other hand, their radically left communist policies, which advocate for fundamental, structural shifts in U.S. governance, economics, finances, and society would be anathema to a majority of voters. In reality, they despise the USA and everything it stands for. They are disciples of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. They want to end capitalism and free enterprise and replace it with a stateless society in which the government controls every aspect of life such as in Soviet Russia, Cuba and Venezuela.
Furthermore, the cherry on top is that they are vehemently anti-Israel and antisemitic. They don’t try to hide their policies they’re so arrogant that they come right out and state them. Thus, they are a combination of the two worst scourges of governance – Nazism and communism. As I have blogged many times history tells us American Jews, who have grown comfortable are at great risk, and many of them seem oblivious. I don’t comprehend why.
Once the radicals win an election, typically they disclose their true leftist policies. A good example of this is Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger. During her tenure in Congress and throughout her campaign she was a moderate Dem. Once she won, however, she transitioned to a progressive. Virginia voters were radically misled.
Below please find a sampling of the neo-communists’ policies. In my opinion most of these are inane, won’t work, lack common sense, and illustrate a lack of experience and knowledge of economics, politics, history and finance. Moreover, some of them are unconstitutional and have no chance of being enacted. As you read them, see if you don’t agree. Their purpose is just to feed their rabid lunatic base.
Most of these people have no practical work experience that would qualify them to govern; they have not built anything nor run a business; some are professional students, live at home and/or are supported by their parents. I wouldn’t trust them to manage a lemonade stand.
- Political Structural Reform: Radical changes to the U.S. government, including abolishing the Senate and the presidency in favor of a unicameral legislature and parliamentary system, packing or even eliminating the Supreme Court, eliminating the Electoral College, expanding the House of Representatives, adding DC and Puerto Rico as states, and instituting multi-party proportional representation.
- Economic & Labor Overhaul: A guaranteed 32-hour workweek without a loss in pay, expanding union protections, raising income taxes, instituting a wealth tax, reducing the power of large corporations, free universal healthcare, tuition-free higher education, canceling student debt, government owned and run grocery stores, free busses, and freezing rents.
- Criminal Justice Reform: Abolishing or at least curtailing the power of police and police unions, freeing all criminals from prison, and ceasing the deportation of illegals even those who have committed violent crimes such as murder and rape.
- Electoral Strategy: Operating not as an independent third party but rather taking control of the Dem Party to push the membership further left.
- Forgive all debt.
- Make comfortable housing a “human right.” No rent or mortgage payments.
- Publicly-funded retirement.
- Eliminate borders. Open the floodgates. Anyone can enter.
- Abolish ICE.
- Eliminate all foreign aid to Israel.
- Mandami wants to arrest Netanyahu as a war criminal and violator of human rights if he comes to NYC. He has no authority to do so, and he conveniently forgets or is not cognizant of the concept of diplomatic immunity.
- There will be no such thing as private property. The concept will be you didn’t build it; you don’t own it; and you don’t deserve it. The government will own everything. It can seize your assets and either keep them or redistribute them to those who are deemed more needy or deserving.
Conclusion
I fear that if these people were ever to seize control every aspect of life as we know it would be destroyed. The greatest country that ever existed would be no more. If this were to occur it would not be overnight. It would likely occur gradually over several election cycles, so gradually that most people would not be cognizant of it until it was too late.
What can be done to combat this scourge? Not to simplify, but I recommend two courses of action: (1) stay informed, and (2) VOTE. Pay particular attention to the off-year elections like 2026. Historically, voter turn-out is low and that is how many of these radicals sneak in. They are well organized, well financed and highly focused.
