Communism Is Happening in America

My field of study in graduate school was communism. As a fellow at the Russian Institute of Columbia’s School of International Affairs, I was, if I remember correctly, one of seven students in the entire university to major in what was known at the time as “Communist Affairs.”

I cite this in order to make this point: In my wildest dreams, I never imagined what I was studying would ever apply to the United States of America, the freest country in world history.

I assumed that communism was, for various reasons, something that happened elsewhere — most obviously, Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia and North Korea.

What were those various reasons? One was the absence of freedom in the history of those countries. Another was that all those countries were, with the exception of Cuba, outside of Western civilization.

All these years later, I see that I was wrong. Communism — or if you will, left-wing fascism and totalitarianism — is coming to America and Canada, and (a bit more gradually) to Australia and New Zealand.

Incredibly — or maybe not so incredibly — more than two hundred years of unprecedented and unrivaled liberty and commitment to Judeo-Christian values and reason, and all the unparalleled achievements of Western civilization, have come to mean nothing to about half of the American people and to virtually every one of its major institutions.

Our universities have become moral and intellectual wastelands — almost as ideologically pure as Moscow State University was in the Soviet era. As of December 2022, there were seven times more administrators (15,750) at Stanford University than faculty (2,288).

Our medical schools are embracing Soviet-like science. In more and more of them, incoming doctors are instructed not to use the terms “male” and “female.” Harvard Medical School officials use the terms “pregnant and birthing people” rather than “pregnant women.” And children’s hospitals are using hormone blockers (which, among other dangers, can impair future reproductive functioning) and mutilating perfectly healthy teenagers.

Students at elite law schools such as Stanford and Yale behave as if they were members of Komsomol, the Soviet Communist Youth League. On the rare occasions that conservative speakers come to their campuses to give a lecture, students heckle, shout and curse at them, disrupting their ability to speak in ways reminiscent of the Hitler Youth in 1930s Germany.

The greatest of all freedoms, that of speech, is disappearing. Since Lenin, no left-wing institution or country has ever allowed dissent, and the Left in America — which is elected and defended by liberals — is no exception. Already almost half of all college students say they do not believe in free speech for “hate speech,” which, of course, means they are for suppressing all speech with which the Left differs.

Perhaps even more than in the Soviet Union, lunacy has replaced reason. In Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, the provincial agency in charge of education has announced that the notion that there is only one correct answer in mathematics is an expression of white supremacy. The Oregon Education Department has announced the same thing. The American Medical Association has declared that no American birth certificates should list the sex/gender of a child — the child will decide that later.

Teachers across the country are robbing children as young as 5 of their innocence. They are routinely taken to drag queen shows where men in women’s clothing dance for them (sometimes lewdly). Why? Because it is the aim of most American schools from first grade to postgraduate to have all American young people believe that sex/gender is “nonbinary” — that alone in the animal kingdom, human beings are not sexually divided into male and female.

In the COVID-19 era, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and virtually every other national medical and health agency largely abandoned science and even elementary decency (recall all the Americans who were forcibly deprived of any visitors and left to die alone in hospitals) and became tools of the Left. They and America’s Sovietized teachers’ unions ruined millions of American children by closing schools for nearly two years. In addition to the doomsday hysteria over climate change, the imposed gender confusion and the absence of religion, this has led to the highest rates of adolescent depression and suicide ever recorded in America.

Our justice department, about half of our judges and our security agencies are well on their way to becoming what the Soviet ministry of justice, Soviet security agencies and Soviet judges were: tools of the ruling party.

Our mainstream media, with few exceptions, are as uncommitted to truth as were the organs of the Soviet Communist Party, Pravda and Izvestia. The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and PBS play the same role for the Left and therefore the Democratic Party.

It was only a matter of time until the Left would arrest a former president of the opposition party.

… America’s electorate has lost control of its policy community. The United States of America is in a spin-out, out-of-control. The government in Washington DC no longer represents the United States of America –

I fear we are collectively doomed. We live in a Godless society, where feelings take precedence over thinking and wisdom is lost. Gone are the 10 Commandments and loving God and others.

During the McCarthy Era, Hollywood was suspected to have a communist under every rock, and that Hollywood progressives and mainstream media would be the very vessel to carry their manifesto to these United States.

I hope the author didn’t think he was breaking any sort of news by stating what has been readily apparent for at least the last 30 years here regarding our own federal government and MSM. Freedom and rights only exist for the individual as long as the population stands up to protect them for all. The vast majority of the American people have done neither for much of the last 50 years as they waited for “someone else” to do the heavy lifting. The problem of course is when almost everyone is waiting for “someone else” to do the work, nothing ends up getting done and the country gradually has shifted towards what the left wants. Which is either socialism or communism, depending on which leftist you happen to speak to at any particular time.

Up until very recently whenever I suggested communism was coming there were smirks or frowns…not from leftists who either deny completely or welcome it, but from moderates, independents and establishment conservatives. The dem media succeeded sixty years ago in convincing millions that fear of communism was a mental illness even as the education monopoly taught it to our kids. As others have said, we slept thru the incubation period. Now the thing is full fledged and we’re shocked. The moral of the story is that when things are going well people slumber.

Mr. Prager, you well stated the problem. I didn’t detect any promoted solutions. I offer one – which is of a global sort: Refuse to accept the lies. Speak truth to power. At Isaiah 5:20 this travesty of non-think was foretold. As you identified, it has been tried before, with deleterious results. Woke physics means the bridges fall down. Woke science means people die. Woke philosophy mean people die. The answer: TRUTH!

How dare you speak of the elderly the way you do! We have a lot to contribute! My husband who lived under communism until the age of 18 should be writing this. I do not know where you get your manners from but at the age of 82+ I have worked in countries where I saw first hand what the “commies” did to people who disagree with what the line is for the communism that day! You should not be allowed to write on this venue. But as my husband said years ago when we lived in the mountains of CA “you have to allow each person to speak or we will lose our freedom in this country”. And he was speaking about the NEW NAZI PARTY that was forming in our area! As I so believe in the Constitution that our Founding Fathers wrote and the Amendments to the Constitution I will fight you tooth and nail but I will never give up the right to free speech in this country. Now I have been given the diagnosis of Parkinson’s and my mind is still sharp so thank you for letting me speak MY mind. Carol

You have a list of mainstream media that you claim does not believe in truthfulness. That is too broad a statement & I do not believe that they never tell you the truth. Who do you recommend as the mainstream source of news that you believe tells the truth all of the time?
