Newly elected far-left Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca has stated that she is "excited to usher" in communism "by any means necessary." CdeBaca, who won in an upset runoff election earlier this month, said in late March during a candidate forum for City Council District 9: I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new.

While she is enjoying her flight to Cuba there are tens of thousands of books written on the failure of communism. Might as well spend that flight time educating herself.

There were witches in 17th Century America and they remain today, demanding their rights. There have been and remain, communists in the highest levels of Government and Industry since mid-nineteenth Century. Using those terms for what's being done to President Trump belittles the seriousness of the offense. Click Here if you Like this Comment 8 people like this. people like this.

Of course, once the communists gain real power, the violence is brought to the people, whether they tolerate it or not. Where and when has it ever been otherwise? Russia and China both lost tens of millions of their own people after the communists gained control. Click Here if you Like this Comment 14 people like this. people like this.

But the enemedia have been the primary co-vector for the commie conquest of this country (along with the public school system and the environmental movement) since the Sixties. Getting cornered by Trump has emboldened them through desperation. I sense a decisive conflict is in store before this thing ends.

Reply 18 - Posted by: hammondb3 6/17/2019 12:09:48 PM (No. 100013) IF people were basically good, then communism would work wonderfully well. Liberals believe that people ARE basically good despite the entirety of human history that clearly demonstrates that people are indeed fallen and self serving. Just look at what happens in the heart of liberal cities when the power goes out, or when some natural disaster strikes. Sure, some people will do the right thing, but as a whole it descends into chaos. And that is why no communist country has ever succeeded. Only capitalism has harnessed the power of selfishness and turned it into something that is good for all who participate in it. There is a reason why Soviet farmland was about 25% as productive as U.S. farmland in the 70's and 80's. No Soviet farmer had anything to gain from greater crop yield. Our farmers could take greater yields to the bank. Click Here if you Like this Comment 9 people like this. people like this.
