Russian News Discusses Rise of Communism in New York City (Video)

They like to consider themselves “progressives.”
Via Breitbart TV:

Russia Today reported:

“As the economic crisis has gotten steeper in the country, it is not surprising that people are opening their minds to other ideas. Words like socialism and communism have been so stigmatized by the educational system that many people are afraid of those words. However, many studies have shown Americans support the redistribution of wealth but if you mention the socialism word they won’t agree with it anymore.”

In modern day America, the specter of communism hangs over the bottom floor of a brick building on the West side of downtown New York City. It’s the Brecht Forum, which started out as the NY Marxist School in 1975. Here, communism is certainly no bogeyman and its poster-philosopher so to speak is revered. “I am a Marxist and I wanted to be around other Marxists and just to talk with other Marxists,” explained Dale. In the US that may sound a little taboo, even unpatriotic to the average Joe. But these days, amid rising poverty and inequality in the country more and more people are joining in the discussion. “I think people certainly since the financial crisis hit home and some people realized there are some systemic problems, we saw a huge influx of traffic,” said Max Uhlenback, development coordinator at the Brecht Forum.

It’s attracting people opening their eyes to a different view. Here, whenever you look you can see a chapter of events not found in history books. Uhlenback gives the example of Haiti, referencing one of the posters on the wall. “People look at Haiti as oh this poor place why can’t they ever get it right but don’t realize Haiti was the first free black republic and has been punished because of it,” he recounted. Choose a door and behind it you may find any number of Leftist social movements left out of mainstream news. “Anti-apartheid carolers” as they called themselves were practicing for a holiday protest urging a boycott of Israel because of its policies towards Palestine.

For the record… Obama often attended the socialist lectures at Cooper Union in New York City during his time at Columbia University.

Holy Sheep dip Batman. That story sound like my dissertations here over the last 2 years.
LIBTARDS don’t know what it is they embrace. They don’t like to be called Marxists or Communists, but that is what they are. They have NO IDEA where this will or would lead them to.
Deadbeat LIBTARDS would be eradicated like vermin in a Marxist state.

Speaking of Obama, have you seen the recent pics of him from Hawai’i? He has lost a huge – really HUGE – amount of weight. His clothes literally hang, his calves have disappeared – he has cartoon stick legs like you see on famine victims.

People who support communism do not know what communism REALLY is.

Some before and after pictures so we could get a rough time line of his weight loss would give us a starting point at speculating what his ‘issue(s)’ are……….

I’ve got a rough idea, but, its not very PC.

Its time for a serious analysis of our Public Servant in Chief.

Too much golf, or maybe that’s what happens when you spend two years zooming around the White House trying to outrun a fearsome Wookie.

The real truth about communism is that IT DOES NOT WORK! Even Raul Castro has given up on it and has “fired” about 500,000 people because the “government” cannot handle to pay that many people and has even gone so far as to remove hygienic products fron the rationing book. The beautiful premise that everyone should earn the same and the utopia that is communism does not work and does not exist. People high in the “party” get everything but the workers get nothing except lower pay. Someone once made a comment about strippers in the US working towards a college degree because tuition here was so high and it was free in Cuba, I could not help but note that mauybe our strippers were doing that so they could better themselves, but in Cuba they might be doctors but they had to prostitute themselves to make a living.

I think that Sean Penn and Michael Moore should move to Cuba for about a year without their notiriety and live like a real Cuban and let them tell us a story when they come back.

Communism is Obama’s “Change”. Everyone understands that now. Funny how the commies in the video are talking about worker’s rights while at the same time drinking beer and playing cards. This is what the West Side of New York is all about. I guess that’s where all the pot is located.

Ed commented:

Being poor under capitalism is a massive step up from being poor under Marxism. It just so happens Marxists brainwash the poor under Marxism to believe they have it better than others. Why they think there is “no movement without papers” in Marxism? because they dont want people to SEE the death and destruction outside of their communities. There is nothing equal about Marxism – thats why they use propaganda and segregation, they need to keep people under the illusion they’re equal workers

Ed commented:

Also there are no incentives under Marxism to better ones self. Thats why the Marxist state assigns individuals to jobs. For example, MD’s are selected, they’re not manifested by individual free will. The end result of that is a bunch of sh*tty doctors, and the same can be said for any crucial job under Marxism. Here in the US we have great professionals because they as individuals worked hard to make the cut and it was THEIR choice to become who they wanted to be, not the states choice.

I Hijacked this from the youtube post!

Is there a law where all women liberal/communist/progressives have to all look the same? They all have that dirty unclean look with the same ugly-ass glasses.

Just a reminder: You should brine a commie at least four hours and apply a dry rub before putting them on the grill.

Lentenlands commented:

Freedom is the environment necessary for all that is good, but those freedoms are under attack. We are under attack by an ideology that will ultimately deliver us into totalitarianism, it is a cultural attack by marxist ideology that is about to turn into a political attack. Marxists are calling for riots and protests for revolution in America right now.

These attacks on America’s culture have been well planned, orchestrated and executed by marxists of the Frankfurt School. By using principles of “cultural marxism” as outlined by Gramsci and Marcuse to undermine the cultural institutions of America for almost a century, the goal was to corrupt America from the inside out and usher in marxist totalitarianism AFTER the cultural and family institutions were disintegrated and rendered Godless, immoral and depraved.

America’s people were predominately Christian, but predominately good, moral, family oriented and patriarchal, they would never accept the garbage that marxism has to offer, and because of this the assault was launched from all angles. Darwinism, abortion, critical thinking, feminism, sexual indulgence and rebellion against all institutions was sold to the American people by the college professors that had been taught themselves by marxists that infiltrated into the American education system. Think about it; if you’ve already been seduced into eating from a garbage can to begin with, you’ll have no problem accepting the garbage of marxism. That was, and still is, the strategy.

It’s time to wake people up to the truth.

They receive doses of communism 24 hours a day from the NEWS media and from their college professors and they don’t know it exists! They must be on a continual drug high.
