That is the title of a piece by Stanislav Mishin which appeared in the 27apr09 issue of Pravda, a few months after Obama’s inauguration. It was then already clear to many of us in the US and also around the world that our new communist-nurtured president had every intention of fulfilling his promise to “fundamentally transform” America. The ensuing years have borne out our predictions and apprehensions. Nevertheless, our country’s electorate has a large and terminally mush-minded contingent that may well return Obama to the Oval Office for the final touches of his ambitious agenda.
In this context I want to reprise the piece by Mishin who is a correspondent and observer of world affairs uniquely qualified to interpret the arrival of collectivism in whatever form it takes – socialism, communism, Marxism, or even obamunism. His essay starts with –
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. …
The entire piece may be read here, and with the understanding that it was published under the graces of the autocratic Putin/Medvedev regime in Russia. The historical nuances make that clear. Mishin writes about his social beliefs here.
