What kind of country will America be when our grandchildren grow up? How will my choices today shape that future 20 years from now?



I frequently ask myself these two questions, especially with the country's direction as of late.



Though Communism is still an ideology of the minority here and abroad, its power grows in strength with each stroke of President Biden's pen and Mainstream Media's propaganda.



As Abraham Lincoln pointed out long before becoming the President, if America is to be destroyed, its own people will destroy it. His words have never seemed more prophetic.



At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum Address, 1838



As a grandparent, I'm afraid of what the world could be once our grandson becomes an adult.



In the past, it made sense to leave the politics to the politicians. But today, the politicians want to rewrite the constitution and dictate health policy, morality, and have the state become the church.



That's too close to Communism to ignore.



Is Communism really a concern for our country?



President Trump said that America would never become a socialist nation. Communism is even worse. Isn't it a little extreme to think that could happen here? Not anymore.



As W. Cleon Skousen wrote in The Naked Communist, 'When Karl Marx was asked what his objective in life was, he said, “To dethrone God and destroy capitalism!'”



The utopian society Communism promises comes at a cost. It requires the dismantling (you've been hearing politicians use that word a lot lately) of everything in a society that's based on capitalism, Christian values, and individual thought.



A successful Communist society eliminates those who disagree and does away with freedom of speech and thought.



How would that happen? Through their different writings, Marx, Engles, and Stalin outlined the process, which sounds vaguely familiar when you consider current events.




They (Marx and Engles) felt it could be done in three steps:



First, by wiping out the old order. “There is but one way of simplifying, shortening, concentrating the death agony of the old society as well as the bloody labor of the new world’s birth—Revolutionary Terror.”



Second, the representatives of the working class must then set up a Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Joseph Stalin described the things which must be accomplished during this period of the dictatorship:



Completely suppress the old capitalist class.Create a mighty army of “defense” to be used “for the consolidation of the ties with the proletarians of other lands, and for the development and the victory of the revolution in all countries.”Consolidate the unity of the masses in support of the Dictatorship.Establish universal socialism by eliminating private property and preparing all mankind for the ultimate adoption of full Communism.



Third, the final step is the transition from socialism to full Communism.



Socialism is characterized by state ownership of land and all means of production. Marx and Engels believed that after a while, when class consciousness has disappeared and there is no further resistance to be overcome, the state will gradually wither away and then property will automatically belong to all mankind “in common.”



Later Lenin explained how the Dictatorship of the Proletariat would pave the way for this final phase. He said the dictatorship would be “an organization for the systematic use of violence by one class against the other, by one part of the population against another….



But, striving for Socialism, we are convinced that it will develop further into Communism, and, side by side with this, there will vanish all need for force,
