Take it from an insider, David Horwitz. The Leninist rot in the US has been cultivated patiently for over 100 years now: a way for the corrupt Elites to harness the childish (and largely harmless+) illogical ideas of "Marxism"/Communism, put them on violent steroids, and use them to get ORDINARY PEOPLE to ENSLAVE THEMSELVES.
"Leninism" actually has next to nothing to do with actually bringing on “Communism”. It has EVERYTHING to do with capturing an idea meant for naive children and turning it into a tightly run and violently executed tool of ENSLAVEMENT. Enslavement? Yes, effectively enslavement of the Eloi by and for the pleasure of the Morlocks.
Slavery is so old school when one can merely control the system, the government, the military, and the schools, to get children to enslave THEMSELVES.
And that is what they did. And, except for Trump, the US would be wholely captured, without a shot, by now. Certainly our "military" was not going to do anything about it. Indeed, most of our former military (at least as represented on this board) has approximately no idea that they larged served as the tool of the Republic's enemies.
Yeah. Russia, Russia, Russia! Still.
Remembering David Horowitz And Bolshevism
Our last post ("Remembering David Horowitz") drew some spirited comments.

This passage in particular, from David Horowitz's son Ben's eulogy for him, struck a cord with one commenter (emphasis ours):
In his continued mission to save the world, in 1968 David became co-editor of the new left magazine Ramparts. While at Ramparts, David developed a close friendship with Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party. As part of their work together, David helped raise money for, and assisted the Panthers with, the running of a school for poor children in Oakland. He later recommended that Newton hire his friend Betty Van Patter as bookkeeper; she was then working for Ramparts. In December 1974, Van Patter's body was found floating in San Francisco Harbor; she had been murdered by the Panthers for knowing too much.
The murder forced David to confront a truth that he had long suspected. It made clear to him that the pursuit of a Marxist utopia was a false and unachievable goal. Diabolically, the goal created a religion. The religion then cloaked the movement’s leaders with an invincible moral standing enabling them to commit atrocities with impunity for their own gain. He was horrified that he had been part of it and it caused him to rethink his entire life.
In response, our commenter wrote:
He does not mention the name of the religion.
Maybe because he has it backwards - his parents religion created the goal - which is openly admitted to be Bolshevism.
You know what the religion is.
58 million pus slaughtered in the USSR by the Bolsheviks from 1914 to 1958. the greatest "holocaust" in all of human history - until, of course, the covid shots.
Of course, Ben Horowitz wasn't referring to an actual religion above, but the ethical blindness that comes with adhering to a radical political ideology religiously. Leftists ignored a horrific crime, because to acknowledge it would reflect poorly on leftism and leftists' fellow travelers.
But our commenter is obviously referring to Judaism. Horowitz's parents were Jewish (ethnically--they were atheist Marxists), as were many early Bolsheviks. Ergo, Jews are responsible for all the horrors of Bolshevism. That brought to mind a recent interaction involving the popular rightwing Russian podcasters, Russians With Attitude (@RWAPodcast).
