The Return Of Communism: Lenin And Stalin On The RiseIt started with the art world and intelligentsia, it spread to college campuses and then the streets of America. Now it has gone mainstream. The return of communism.
In 2017 the anniversary of the failed Soviet Union brought with it an unusual artistic response. In the United States, government run arts councils flooded museums and galleries with money if they would do exhibits of kitschy propaganda posters from the Soviet Union. Stalin became the rage for the art world.
In Russia however, the year was a time to remember those who died often for no reason by Communist oppression. Socialism, like any other religion, has many branches all competing for the title of the real socialist party. Marx was clear- until the entire world became socialist there could be no communism. To make that happen it would be up to the German worker to eliminate all practicing Jews, all Slavic people and all Blacks. This Marx believed, would make room for the German workers to colonize regions those groups lived in. Now you may be thinking, wait a second. How does that differ from Hitler? It doesn’t. Whether we are discussing National or International Socialism, which before World War 2 worked together and praised each other, keep in mind both Germany and the Soviets had agreed to attack Poland. Marx would have been appalled that the Soviet Union was the first nation to become socialist and would have most likely supported Germany. And he would have cheered on the elimination of the Russian people to expand the German state. Contradictions are just part of being a socialist. Why on earth would Black Lives Matter call itself a Marxist Leninist group, when both Marx and Lenin wanted their race removed from the planet? It is hard to believe now, but Marx at one point stated that socialism was to use the tools of science. If the programs didn’t work, they would be quickly changed. But as we in the U.S. have learned, the first job of a bureaucrat is to keep their job and get raises. Put another way, if a city kills its rat population, what happens to the people who work in that agency? Does that mean no real art came out of the Soviet Union? No. The real art I believe can be found in the silent movie posters which glorify no dictators or have more happening in them than people scowling or some dictator pointing the way to some make believe future.
As you may have guessed, no U.S. government arts funding was given in 2017 to any propaganda mills masquerading as "art centers" to show the above movie poster art. It is important to remember that socialists believe all art should be political. Any art that for example, proclaims beauty, is heterosexist and a capitalist model. Thus movie poster art can’t be real art, but art can be found in old Soviet propaganda and Red China art. And what used to be called editorial art.
Andres Serrano “Piss Christ”In the book: ORWELL YOUR ORWELL, A VIEW FROM THE SLAB (available at Amazon Books) we have what is lacking in American academia. Europe studies the different branches of socialism, in the U.S. we tend to not do that. We lump them all together and the Communist Party USA always comes out on top. (1) That Orwell believed 1984 was about what would happen to the progressive movement is lost on Universities and even high schools. A European can tell you the difference between Trotsky and Stalin, an American can’t. I ran across this quote that revealed to me that Stalin and Lenin are now in our bureaucrats’ heads: Miguel Cardona, Joe Biden’s secretary of education, gave a talk to explain “education department priorities.” Talking up a kinder, friendlier department, he said, “I think it was President Reagan [who] said, ‘We’re from the government and we’re here to help.’” I think that was intended to be reassuring. What Reagan actually said, however, as was pointed out about 10,000 times, was the opposite. “The nine most terrifying words in the English language,” the Gipper said, “are: ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’” Lenin would have known exactly what Reagan meant — that’s what he liked about government. The Communist methods to achieve socialism are returning. That should alarm us all. Be seeing you. (1) To those who think they know what George Orwell is all about, this book unpacks surprise after surprise. Orwell Your Orwell reveals an Orwell very different from the one most people think of. It gives an unexpected yet convincing picture of Orwell’s beliefs, every key point precisely documented. You're currently a free subscriber to Hidden Cold War History.
