Socialism is a Farce

In this country today, you have so many ignorant young people screaming for the destruction of our nation and the resurrection of it as a socialist utopia. When that happens, a nation is always a zombie, a mere shadow of what it formerly was. Russia is one of the best examples. Out of Imperial Russia came some of the finest music and literature the world has ever known. One thinks here of names such as Tchaikovsky and Tolstoy. Russia also fought against Napoleon Bonaparte, the tyrant and upstart of the 19th century, and they defeated him, praise be to God. But what happened during the 19th century to mutate the Russian bear? Karl Marx and Friederich Engels happened. In 1848 they penned the Communist Manifesto. This was to have long-lasting consequences that reach into this present century. See, Marx and Engels may have created the Communist beast. But it was three Russians, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin, who made Communism what it is today. When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in 1917, starting with the royal family, they began a campaign of terror, murdering anyone who got in their way. This went on until Lenin’s death in 1924. Then it continued with Stalin. Now, many people see Stalin as the architect of Communist atrocity. But in reality, it was Lenin and Trotsky who started all the killing. Another one of their royal victims was the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, aunt to Tsar Nicholas II and sister to the Tsarina Alexandra. They took her and a group of her friends and threw them into a mine shaft with hand grenades hurled after them to finish the job. It was HORRIBLE! And as I said, the killing didn’t stop there. Then came the Russian Civil War, which lasted from 1918 to 1922. Interestingly, contrary to popular belief, the White movement in Russia was not Royalist, but Republican. The White Armies didn’t seek to restore the tsar, but to restore the constituent assembly, (the Duma, perhaps?) But they failed for lack of organization. And Communism reigned in Russia from 1918 to 1991. Now, people seek to implement the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky in this country. But they mustn’t succeed. Communism has failed everywhere, destroying anything it touches. “Let us try again,” the Communists beg. “We know we can succeed if we’re just given a chance!” That is a bunch of malarkey. Government without God never, I repeat, NEVER, succeeds. So don’t fall into the trap of Communism and socialism. Please, please, PLEASE, heed my words: it will not work.
