What is the Difference Between A Democrat and a Socialist - Communist?

      This was the question recently asked of the head of the Democratic party Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. If there was a difference a person would logically think that there would be an exact response - but there was not. Instead the question was never answered. The subject was changed every time it was put to her - why? The explanation is simple. There is no real distinction between today's Democrats and Socialists and they know it. It's the common knowledge that no one wants to talk about. Newsweek, in 2009, ran a cover story with the headline: "We Are All Socialists Now." The silence was deafening.

                                                     Polls show that most Democrats are quite comfortable with

Socialism. A recent poll found 52 percent of Democrats had a favorable opinion about Socialism. The problem is that the word Socialism or Communism is still taboo with the older generation. The fact that older Americans vote at a higher level than other age groups was one of the reasons that they changed the name to "Progressive." From its beginning, the promoters of "Progressivism" have known they could be more effective if they concealed the Marxist nature of their work, hence the use of the term.

      Today’s “Progressives” are pushing the failed ideas that are nothing but retreads of the notorious 19 and century command-and-control tyrannies that killed about 120 million of their own citizens.  To push these ideas their preferred ploy is to ridicule critics when they out the undeniable parallels between the goals of today’s "Progressive” movement in the Democratic Party, and the of the early, and very much still alive, Communist movement.

      Their tactics have been to discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. Discredit the American Founding Fathers by presenting them as selfish aristocrats, slave owners who had no concern for the “common man.” They belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history in our education system. They belittle it by presenting "new facts" and that it our history was exaggerated and that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.”

      The slogan of "fundamentally transforming America” has become their rallying call. The final goal is Cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism as “a branch of western Marxism, different

from the Marxism-Leninism of the old Soviet Union. It is commonly known as ‘multiculturalism’ or, less formally, Political Correctness. Cultural Marxists endeavor to scrub America of her Judeo-Christian, constitutional-republican founding principles, subversion of the moral culture, especially the elimination of the natural family by means of government dependency programs, and to adjust, to their "new vision", the U.S. Constitution.

      

      That fact  is that the shift of the Democrat Party sharply to the left have helped to pave the way for the advent of the Progressive era. Democrats have a strategy, a battle plan they’re willing to do anything to advance. They set about changing America's culture and they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Today, the left controls virtually all of the

opinion-molding organs of American society: the media and the arts, public schools, foundations, seminaries, museums, libraries, higher education, the federal bureaucracy, and the legal profession. This era is highlighted by the willingness of the people to elect – and re-elect –the most anti-American, anti-constitutional, radically left, lawless president in American history and allow the government to pick and choose, rewrite, and selectively enforce the laws of the nation. It would appear that the progressive transformation of America is nearly complete. If we do not slam on the brakes and initiate a reversal of the transformation soon – very soon – then it will be too late and the United States of America – the most noble and successful experiment in human freedom the world has ever known.
