The more things change, the more they stay the same….I still remember reading a blurb by the candidate from one of the communist parties in my riding from one of the elections in the early 70s. I think she was running for the Marxist-Leninist Party, as opposed to the “official” Communist Party. Her blurb repeating one theme over and over: “Make the Rich Pay!”. Her antidote to every problem was to expropriate money from the wealthy. Of course she never set a threshold defining when you became wealthy. I’ve heard manycampaign blurbs since then and they all make use of similar rhetoric: the better off are always going to have to do more to help those who weren’t doing as well despite the substantial taxes they are already paying. And just like the Marxist candidate I remember, they almost never say what “better off” is. Most people want to imagine that it is only therich – the billionaires – that will get their property plundered but the socialists/communists are always pretty careful not to specify. I am convinced that if they get into power, that dividing line is going to be alower than the billionaires. I think they’re going to pick the pockets of everyone making over whatever the official “living wage” is at that time. And if they do that, they willthe middle class. But they pretty much have to set the dividing line that low because we just don’t have enough billionaires – or millionaires – to fund the expensive programs they want. Peter Netterville. If you ever want an interesting experience, ask one of these hard Leftists who want to have communism in this country just what they will do differently than all the other clowns that have tried it elsewhere only to fail catastrophically. The most you will get is a sweeping assurance that they’ll do better. Try to get specifics out of them and they will change the subject or just plain run away. They have NOhow to make communism work! They have learned no lessons from past failures. They have not analyzed those failures and figured out what was done incorrectly. They are going to do exactly what all the others have done and it will inevitably fail again just as it has every other time. You will see this with your own eyes when they are unable to specify what they will do differently than Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Chavez or any of the other imbeciles that moved heaven and earth to try communism, only to see it fail. I think you will even see thatrealize that they have learned nothing when you ask that question, although they will be too embarrassed to admit it openly.The good thing about themoving way to the Left – just as the Democrats in the US have done – is that it becomes very clear to sensible people that they absolutely do not deserve to be elected.
