In a previous article, I outlined seven indicators that a politician or government is advocating destructive Marxist principles or actions.\u00a0Here are a few more that we should be aware of if we want to protect our freedoms as true American patriots.<\/p>\n

First: <\/u>Government giveaways.\u00a0Marxist governments seduce citizens for support by providing things, seemingly for free.\u00a0Examples:\u00a0 free healthcare for all, canceling student debt, providing guaranteed income for all, and recently, free down payment money for first time home buyers.\u00a0Of course, the government does not create wealth but merely takes from a person who earned it, and gives it to another who did not earn it.\u00a0This is actually wealth transfer which penalizes the hard-working person.<\/p>\n

Second<\/u>:\u00a0 Inflation.\u00a0Most, if not all inflation, is caused by excessive government spending that exceeds revenues.\u00a0The government does this by printing money that is not backed by actual economic growth.\u00a0 Printing money is the Marxist way of buying votes while at the same time devaluing the buying power of the currency.\u00a0This essentially amounts to a tax that makes citizens poorer.\u00a0The Harris campaign\u2019s recent announcement that inflation will be reduced by going after corporations who are \u201cgouging the public\u201d is misdirected and typical of trying to blame private companies for government caused inflation.\u00a0Price controls always lead to shortages and increased inflation.<\/p>\n

Third<\/u>:\u00a0 Suppressing dissent.\u00a0Controlling the press, limiting free speech, and prosecuting opposition occurs in all Marxist countries such as China, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela.\u00a0Alarmingly, this is now occurring in America.\u00a0Blocking people from social media platforms, falsely prosecuting January 6th<\/sup> demonstrators as \u201cinsurrectionists\u201d (while allowing actual rioters after the George Floyd incident to go free) are examples of what Marist governments do.\u00a0The most glaring example, of course, is the Biden\/Harris administration\u2019s persecution of Donald Trump for bogus crimes.\u00a0This has never happened before in the history of this country and represents a serious change which should alarm us all.<\/p>\n

Fourth:<\/u>\u00a0 Intentionally distorting the truth.\u00a0Truth is not a Marxist value.\u00a0Marxists will say anything in order to hide the truth from the people.\u00a0This includes mislabeling their destructive actions to hide the real impact.\u00a0For example, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act did nothing but increase inflation.\u00a0The Biden\/Harris administration spent billions of dollars on green energy and other programs that required borrowing more money, that the government did not have.\u00a0Another example, is the tragic effort to encourage the surgical mutilation of children.\u00a0They call it \u201cGender Affirming Care\u201d when it is the exact opposite.\u00a0Instead of encouraging children to accept and be content with their birth gender, they advocate gender hormone blockers and genital surgery in an effort to change the child\u2019s true gender.\u00a0Some states like California and Wisconsin (where VP candidate Tim Walz is governor) threaten to take a child away from the parents if they refuse to agree to hormone blockers or surgery.<\/p>\n

Fifth<\/u>:\u00a0 Open borders. Marxism always attempts to eradicate the national traditions of any country they control.\u00a0One way of doing this is to flood the country with immigrants who do not share the principles, values, and traditions of that country, thereby allowing the government to define the culture.\u00a0Demeaning a country by focusing on flaws from their past diminishes patriotism and love of country and ignores the positive accomplishments.\u00a0 This is especially destructive to the youth.<\/p>\n

The issue facing America in 2024 is whether there are enough clear-thinking patriots who recognize the destructive path we are on and are willing to do what is necessary to reverse course.\u00a0 The upcoming election will answer that question, once and for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
