Transcript
- 0:32Welcome to the live to shoot podcast.
- 0:33My name is Jeff There's a seventh of our bonus episodes on the 1776 report.
- 0:39If you haven't listened to the introduction, I encouraged the detail because it will explain a little bit about why we're doing this.
- 0:44This episode is entitled challenge to America's principles, communism.
- 0:48Communism seems to preach a radical or extreme form of human equality.
- 0:53But at its core wrote, Karl Marx is quote the idea of the class struggle as an immediate driving force of history and particularly the class.
- 1:02Struggle between the bougie.
- 1:04and the proletariat unquote.
- 1:06in the communist mind, people are not born equal and free.
- 1:10They are defined entirely by their class.
- 1:12Under communism.
- 1:13The purpose of government is not to secure rights at all.
- 1:16Instead, the goal is for a quote, a class struggle that necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat unquote by its very nature.
- 1:26This class struggle would be violent.
- 1:28The communist disdained to conceal their views and Ames, Mark Schroeder.
- 1:32They openly declare that their ins can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.
- 1:40Let the ruling class tremble at a communist revolution, this radical rejection of human dignity spread throughout most much of the world and Russia, the bloody Bolshevik revolution during world war II.
- 1:51Stablish the communist Soviet union communism understands itself as the Universalist movement of global conquest and communist dictatorships.
- 2:00Eventually seized power.
- 2:02Through much of Europe and Asia and significant parts of Africa and South America.
- 2:06Led by the Soviet union, communism even threatened or aspire to threaten our liberties here at home.
- 2:13What it could not achieve though through force of arms, it attempted through a subversion.
- 2:18Communists did not succeed in fomenting revolution America, but communism's Relentless.
- 2:23anti-American anti-Western.
- 2:25And.
- 2:25Aesthetic propaganda did inspire thousands and perhaps millions to reject and despise the principles of our founding and our government while America and its allies eventually won the cold war.
- 2:36This legacy of anti-Americanism is by no means entirely memory, but still pervades, much of academia and the intellectual and cultural spheres.
- 2:44The increasingly excepted economic theory of socialism.
- 2:48While less violent than communism is inspired by the same flawed philosophy and leads down the same dangerous path of allowing the state to seize private property and redistribute.
- 2:58Well, as the governing elite see fit.
- 3:00For generations, American stood as the bulwark against global communism.
- 3:05Our cold war victory.
- 3:06Was owing not only to our superior technology economy and military.
- 3:10And the end America one, because the Soviet union was built.
- 3:13It was built upon a lie as president Ronald Reagan said, quote, I have seen the rise of fascism and communism, but both theories fail, both deny those God given liberties that are the innate.
- 3:24We'll ride to the each person on the planet.
- 3:27Indeed.
- 3:27They deny the existence of God, unquote.
