Communist parties, thanks to the outcome of World War II, gained legal status in all the representative democracies of the West, including the United States of America. The conspiratorial work of international communism has remained the same since then: to use the democratic mechanisms of the free world to undermine and eventually destroy democracy.
Despite the irreversible military eradication of fascism, contemporary communists have struggled to adapt to the idea of living without their Siamese twin in times of peace. In fact, one defining characteristic of communists, whether they declare themselves as such or not, is their persistent denunciation of fascism everywhere. To oppose a communist is to be immediately delegitimized as a fascist. Communism does not tolerate rational opposition. Hatred is its innate element.
The result is that, a century after fascism, communist propaganda still assures us that the fascist danger is more imminent today than ever. Hence the importance of communists seizing power as soon as possible, by any means necessary. They deserve it since only the communist vanguard knows how to effectively cut off the fascist waves of reaction.
The Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) carries that battle of ideas at the heart of "North American imperialism," as they insist on calling their own country in the midst of decline, a nation that has been unable to win even the smallest military skirmish for decades.
In an end-of-year editorial, the CPUSA attacks for the millionth time the "anti-Cuban" policies of Donald Trump, a fascist who "cannot forgive Cuba" its "great advances in the well-being of its citizens," nor the fact that it "provides high-quality medical care to the poor countries of the world," nor its "exceptional example of solidarity," and even less that the Island "played a key role in the defeat of the fascist apartheid regime in South Africa."
Of course. F for F, fascism. A ghost is haunting the communist parties around the world: the ghost of fascism.
If fascism did not exist, it would have to be invented. Just as communism is incessantly invented. Insultingly. Rotten mush for the dazed generations of the new millennium, where finally, Marxism can easily do without its prophet Marx. Ideology is no longer necessary. All that's needed is the idiotic inertia of social justice, plus the necessary touch of class guilt.
In its pamphlet written in the Plaza de la Revolución, the CPUSA tells us Cubans the same old tale of the good pipe of utopia. The Hitlerian Donald Trump, thanks to the “200 new restrictions designed to harm the Cuban economy,” only wants to “affect the standard of living of the people,” while using that same money “to fund the tiny anti-government organizations active on the Island.”
Then the CPUSA dives headfirst into a campaign for, in every American city, the city councils and legislative bodies to "pass resolutions condemning the blockade" and in favor of the "international campaign to award the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize to the exceptional Cuban medical solidarity program".
Bravo! The communists really believe in massive popular participation. Right up until the moment when the communists are in charge, when the people suddenly no longer need to participate, as that would actually hinder the monopolistic participation of the State.
Socialism is the only social system that prohibits socialization. This explains why there is no authentic leftist thought—or any activism—within leftist totalitarianism.
Communist militants, if the outcome of World War II had been the irreversible military eradication of communism, would today be convinced fascists who, consequently, would not have managed to adapt to the idea of living without their Siamese twin in times of peace. They are two sides of the same coin. F with F, Fidel. And their common enemy is one: capitalism. Which, in Political Science, is also known as freedom.
Not without reason did the American leftist Susan Sontag, in a moment of clarity that earned her lifelong hatred from the American left (even today, mentioning her is synonymous with career suicide), write that communism was “fascism with a human face.”
As at the end of the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, we anti-communists are granted only the right to be like those “animals from outside”: spectators who, outside of historical materialism, marvelously observe “from pig to man and from man to pig and back again from pig to man,” knowing in advance that it has always been technically “impossible to discern who is who” between one and the other intolerance of the left.
