The above quote came out of a statement from the alleged “conscience” of American politics, James Clyburn (D, S.C.), and House Majority Democrat Whip. The quip says a lot. It’s a “vision” similar to the end product of Marx’s Dialectical Materialism. For Americans who vote Democrat, are you aware that you’re voting for collectivist utopians? The debate over the pandemic relief bill brought this to light.
First, what’s the Marxist connection? Simple, it’s utopian egalitarianism in almost every sense of the word. Marx’s dialectic is essentially a series of interconnected episodes of class warfare with an apocalyptic final one (Proletarian Revolution) to usher in the world of equality. How’s that much different from the dream of the current leadership and base of the Democratic Party?
Clyburn’s remark speaks volumes. “Restructure things” comes dangerously close to totalitarian social engineering, reminiscent of Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Mao was really into “restructuring”. What of Clyburn’s “vision”? Of course, all secular prophets have a vision of a “better world”. But Clyburn’s, Mao’s, and Marx’s “vision” probably isn’t the one that you and I have in mind.
So, in the mind of Clyburn and company, for the country to get relief from the shutdown, the bill must be packed with the means to move us along the path to Marx’s end-state. The Dems aren’t happy with simply taking care of the sick and unemployed. They demand the measures that’ll cripple our economy and way of life, as in any place where it has been tried.
