Forget the Marxists: Here's the Real Enemy of America
By Frederick Hink

To win any fight, we must first know our enemy. There are those who argue we are in a struggle with Marxism, though in reality, we battle the organizational and operational tenets of the Marxist tree, not the ideology itself. We know that this is not a Marxist movement because it ignores Marxism's core clientele: the workers. In fact, these people despise the Marxist's traditional constituents. Instead, they toil for a small minority of the "marginalized" in society whom middle Americans find to be fringe and anathema to their core values.

Even then, their movement doesn't seek a revolution of the marginalized. They define the ills of society so that governments can unilaterally impose restitutive "justice": defunding law enforcement and prosecution, promoting violence and riots, and forcing curriculum indoctrination throughout the educational system. They seek power through chaos.

If there is a power that wishes to usurp a democratic and free market society, then to attack with the chaos of a Marxist "revolution" will drive those most affected to willingly surrender freedom for security — You will own nothing and be happy! — and into the warm arms of the promise of a new civilization dedicated to the progress of mankind. Italy once succumbed to the promises and adopted fascism upon the bourgeoisie's and governing elites' fears from the encroaching evils of socialism, as had been witnessed in Soviet Russia.

Don't be fooled by rhetoric. Fascism is an evolution of socialism. The difference is how the economy is managed. Ludwig von Mises summarized the primary differences between socialism (the Russian pattern) and fascism (the German pattern). Socialism owns everything, and the individual is simply a serf to the state; fascism "preserves private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary markets," though these markets are highly controlled by the state. The German pattern, Nazism, introduced, through its barbarity, the dark specter of fascism, but fascism's evil birth was in Italy.

From the article:

We are not fighting Marxism, socialism, or communism. This is a top-down revolution. We are fighting a fascism that surpasses Mussolini's and Hitler's dreams of complete power over the people, for this is global in nature. The sooner we can develop the strategy to stave off these attacks and possibly even beat them back, the sooner we can start the long march toward freedom once again. Without defining and understanding the enemy, we will lose.

If it matters, I've been saying that it's fascism from the start. Some others around here - and elsewhere - have, also, and no doubt had as hard a time as I did listening the ignorant spout their marxist/socialist/communist claims.
But, as far as fighting back against it goes, outside of my vote and wallet, I'm at a loss. I don't have the kind of power or influence it takes to be a mover and shaker.

*As an aside, for some odd reason I was surprised to hear the the YMCA was a part of the World Economic Forum. Dumb to be surprised by that.
