The Last Days and Words of Leon Trotsky
On this date in 1940 in Mexico City Ramon Mercader drove an ice axe (not an ice pick as some accounts have it) into the skull of Leon Trotsky. He died the next day. Here we read: Mercader later testified at his trial: I laid my raincoat on the table in such a way as to be able to…

Is John Brennan a Communist?
Sebastian Gorka thinks so. Brennan voted for Gus Hall, presidential candidate of the Communist Party USA , back in the Brehznev era. Or maybe Comrade Brennan is only a crypto-commie hate-America crapweasel. You decide. Either way, whether red or pink, it takes chutzpah for this deep-state operative to call Trump treasonous.

Seeing Red
If you want to understand the Democrat Party you have to study Communism. Here is a CRB review of three fairly recent books. I have read the first, the Radosh effort. A page-turner! I also recommend Sidney Hook's Out of Step. A review ofCommies: A Journey Through the Old Left, the New Left and the…

Why Did America Fight the Korean War?
Victor Davis Hanson explains in less than five minutes. South Korea is a model global citizen and a strong ally of the U.S.—and stands in sharp contrast to the communist regime in the North that has starved and murdered millions of its own people and caused untold mischief in the world community. Had it not…

Michael J. Totten on Cuba
Excerpt: As Christopher Hitchens once said of North Korea, communist states are places where everything that isn’t absolutely compulsory is absolutely forbidden. Mounting any kind of resistance against them is nearly impossible unless and until the state loses its will to continue. Don’t be deceived by Havana’s crumbling beauty, its upbeat music and people, its…

Man’s Second Oldest Faith
It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from…

Did the U. S. Defeat the S. U. just to Become another S. U.?
Not only are we slouching toward Gomorrah, we are sliding toward something like communism. Trump, I fear, is only a temporary brake. Excerpts from an article by Stella Morabito: Erasure of collective memory. Another crime of radical education reform is its attack on the study of history, civics, and the classics of literature. Today we can…

The Battle of Stalingrad 75 Years Later
Know your history. Despite the horrors of Soviet Communism, the Allied winners of World War II owed a great deal to the Russian people. Russia's male and female soldiers were most responsible for destroying Hitler's vast ground forces, having killed more than two-thirds of the German soldiers lost in the war. The Soviet Union lost…

The Russian Revolution and Communist Terror
Excerpt: The Marxists’ biggest targets have always been the family, religion, and civil society—institutional obstacles to the imposition of the omnipotent state. With the Bolsheviks in power, Lenin set out to destroy them. Sounds like the Democrat Party program. Obama did his damndest to undermine civil society. Luckily, he's history and his would-be leftist successor, Felonia von Pantsuit…

The Truth About Che Guevara, Mass-Murderer and Hero of the Left
50 years ago today: execution of Che Guevara by Bolivian government. Michael Totten: Che Guevara has the most effective public relations department on earth. The Argentine guerrilla and modern Cuba’s co-founding father has been fashioned into a hipster icon, a counter-cultural hero, an anti-establishment rebel, and a champion of the poor. As James Callaghan once…

Antifa are the Moral Equivalent of Neo-Nazis
Here: Neo-Nazis are the violent advocates of a murderous ideology that killed 25 million people last century. Antifa members are the violent advocates of a murderous ideology that, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” killed between 85 million and 100 million people last century. Both practice violence and preach hate. They are morally indistinguishable.…

A Plea to Conservative Bloggers
Please join me in promoting Prager U videos. They teach what isn't taught in the leftist seminaries that our so-called universities have become. And they are mercifully short, around five minutes in length. Do your bit. Here is the man himself in Why Isn't Communism as Hated as Nazism? Full Disclosure: I don't know Prager…

Mike Valle at Big Sticks
Mike Valle and I got together the other day at the premier cigar lounge in the East Valley, Big Sticks, to discuss Grundlagen des Marxismus-Leninismus, chapter 1, Der Philosophische Materialismus. Mike has read the entire stomping 800+ page tome. It is an outstanding manual of Soviet scholasticism. Originally written in Russian and published in…
