In a rational world, killing a socialist the moment they self-identified would be as socially acceptable as killing a pedophile you found raping a child…

It absolutely disgusts me that we spent the decades from 1941 on fighting international and national socialism, only to find the fifth column within our so-called “intelligentsia” and elites had not only surrendered to them already, but were engaged in going them one better in all respects. Sadly, the smartest thing we could have done back in the ’50s was probably to surrender entirely, let them take over, and by now, the entire sorry enterprise would have collapsed. The only thing that’s kept socialism going as an idea has been the guilt-driven support lent it by our well-off, who seem to think that it’s a bad idea to emulate that which made their parents successful…

Kirk, They will never dwell in the hellhole of their ideologies as shown by the steak eating Maduro. Socialism fully implemented in the US would be no different for the little people while the young socialist leaders would wear $3500 suits and old socialist leaders would live in walled and gated estates.

One awaits with disgust the likely future similatly sympathetic treatment of Mein Kampf and Chairman Mao's Little Red Book. People who produce this sort of propaganda ought to be treated in precisely the manner that the multitudinous victims of these pernicious ideologies were, each and every time they have been emanentized by their believers. Deportation to Venezuela comes to mind, as a just solution. Let them actually dwell in the hellholes their ideologies create, and suffer the consequences accordingly.

And then was born Social Supremacism, where absolute power over others is the Final Solution. No self constraints. No power checks.

That primitivism of absolute power is the reason that most murdered Communists were by other Communists. And the reason that Marxism is nothing more than a reactionary movement against Modernity (power restraint).

I finally got around to reading The Communist Manifesto 14 years ago. It’s odd. Quite odd.

The Communist Manifesto was mainly Engels’ work, if I’m not mistaken.

It is a brilliant piece of literary work, filled with deathless phrases and a pleasure to read. It describes the raw vigor of capitalism attractively and accurately. It can be read as a poetic meditation — if you can forget the murderous mayhem that it unleashed in later years. There is no reason to turn this swell piece of prose into a comic book.

Marx’s The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon can also be read for interest, if not pleasure. However, anyone who thinks the Marx was a great writer, should read Das Capital. It is of the school of higher gobbledygook. And it is long.

This cartoonist should spend the next several years reading Das Capital turning into a comic book. That will be his punishment for doing this silly work.

It’s what he does best. He’s a cartoonist, not an analyst. If you take it too seriously, you’ve already missed the point.

I loved his mashup of Eliot and Chandler. Tiresias as a pervy hobo…
