Welcome to Anti-Communism Month!

          GREETINGS, my fellow readers! I would like to introduce to you today a very special project of mine, one which I have spent months preparing for. I attempted this at first a year ago, but my blog wasn’t in the right place for it to succeed. Furthermore, my knowledge and abilities hadn’t developed far enough to make it impactful. This being the case, I have opted to and prepared for the formal inauguration of Anti-Communism Month to reoccur now!

          Anti-Communism Month is, again, a passion project of mine that has been on the books for a while. The theme of the event is evident, it is a recognition of the evils, failures, and critiques of socialist/far-left ideology. March is the month I have chosen for this to occur because in this month five blows were dealt to radical leftism:

  1. Karl Marx died on March 14.
  2. Joseph Stalin died on March 5.
  3. The Republic of Lithuania was established on March 11, the first nation to secede from the USSR.
  4. Murray Rothbard, the great capitalist himself, was born on March 2.
  5. On March 9, 1776, Adam Smith first published The Wealth of Nations.

There might be other historical events that occurred in March that could be classified as “bad for communism”, but these are the five I know of, and they’re pretty cheeky. In recognition of these events, I have made March Anti-Communism Month, and for this month anti-communist actions will have a special aspect to them.

On this blog, Anti-Communism Month of 2022 will be observed through the publication of several articles that pick apart at the foundations of radical leftist ideology. I will also observe on it social media, such as Minds and Twitter, by the sharing of anti-communist memes and other media with friends who will be helping me promote this event. You can participate in the same manner, by posting memes and retweeting/republishing articles and other media that is critical of this foul ideology (good sources on Twitter are @mises, @TheHoppean, @AccidentLiberty, among others; on Minds, @MaxOgburn, @VolAnarchist, @SMetzeler, among others; I am one, too).

I thank everyone who helps assist this event by reading the forthcoming articles, interacting with the forthcoming content, and putting in their own effort. Socialism/Marxism/communism, collectivist anti-capitalism as all these synonymous ideologies should be called, is a foul thing and has been refuted by numerous skilled economists (such as Mises, Hayek, Böhm-Bawerk, Friedman, Sowell, etc.). It is only kept alive by elitist active measures and their domination of academia and media, which proliferates revisionist and negationist propaganda that is anti-capitalist, egalitarian, and pro-socialist in content. By promoting an informal holiday recognizing its failures and proliferating factual counterpropaganda, we are doing society a service.

            So, I thank you all for taking the time to read this article, and I thank you for whatever efforts you undertake to help out with this inaugural Anti-Communism Month. I think a quotation from the scriptures is a good way to end, from Joshua 23: “One of your men put to flight a thousand, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you, just as He promised you” (v. 10). Since socialism is fundamentally anti-Christian, I believe God is on our side in fighting the cadres of socialism, in liberating the minds of His children from its deceptive promises. He will empower us that one alone may fight off a thousand socialist ideologues.

Conquest's Second Law and Libertarianism

  IN political science there is a concept known as “Conquest’s laws of politics.” It is named after Robert Conquest, a conservative British historian best known for his books on the Soviet Union . Similar to Asimov’s “Three Laws of Robotics,” Conquest’s laws define three principles of political action that can be considered reliably accurate. These three laws are: Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. All these laws have interesting implications and can be looked at one by one. However, today the one law that I want us to focus on in particular is the second law, that, “Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.” It certainly sounds interesting and can have broad implications for political strategy. For libertarians in part

Active Measures: Part I, "Demoralization"

  This is the first of a planned three-part series that will focus on analyzing the origins, perpetrators, and fulfillment of Soviet-style subversive “active measures” in the United States and elsewhere in the West. Because of the amount of information that there is to talk about, owing to the enormity of data that is revealed through thorough research of this subject, this multi-volume approach has been taken. This first installment is focused on the strategy of “demoralization”.             BACK in the 1980s a now-infamous interview was hosted by George E. Griffin with KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov. This interview, little known to the general public, exposed the four-part strategy by which the Soviet KGB sought to subvert enemy nations. Many commentators, especially in recent years, have noted that these “active measures” that Bezmenov exposed are highly reminiscent of situations happening in contemporary society. Along with George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four , Bezmenov’s revelat

Divide and Conquer

THE  political situation in America is pretty awful, and has been for probably up to a decade (although, I’d argue it has always been bad, and has only become obvious in recent years). Every month, every week, every day even, we must watch on in an ashamed stupor as the assembly of people elected to direct with steadfast loyalty our country act like toddlers left alone in a classroom. A simply net positive GDP growth means nothing, because the cogs of the machine have grown greasy and old. As a great exhibit of the condition of our country, recent statistics show a very legitimate desire for secession among certain Americans. This is not good, it is as simple as that. Every nation-state, every civil society, is a human experiment. Locke, who I oft differ to, saw civil society as the consensual assembly of humans under common principles (Locke 2015, p. 77). The State, therefore, is consequently obliged to be sensitive of and accommodating to the human condition; not sensitive or acco
