The Marxist Mindset

We had a saying in the military, Sierra Sierra, Delta Delta, S2D2. No, that is not a robot character from a Star Wars movie, it stands for “Same S!@t Different Day”. And truthfully, that maxim applies to the Marxist left. Nothing has changed with Marxists since the publication of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ book, “The Communist Manifesto.” Matter of fact, their plans are very evident in American society and policy. New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is the walking embodiment of Marx and his principles. However, nothing so clearly articulated the Marxist mindset as the absurd and revealing recent comments of one Robert Francis O’Rourke. His real nickname is Bob Frank, not Beto. If he is prancing around masquerading as Hispanic, then my nickname is Sven, and I am Norwegian.

On August 8th here in Texas, ole Bob Frank asserted, “There are no refs in this game, f!@k the rules, we are going to win, whatever it takes.” In other words, “the ends justify the means, and it is by any means necessary”. That is the essence of the Marxist mindset. It is about deception, abject lying, electoral fraud, coercion, instilling fear, intimidation, threats, and ultimately violence. They stand against any and every aspect of our Constitution and our representative democracy. But, hey, if you stand in their way and abide by the rule of law, you are a “threat to democracy.” How rich of them.

Funny, the Babylon Bee has an interesting vignette of a young white female leftist going back in time to assassinate Adolf Hitler. You can view it here. Yes, it is sarcasm, but it is also very serious and alarming for those who would reject this obvious truth. As the wise King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes, “there is nothing new under the sun.” Mic drop, Marxists, and National Socialists, then are the same as today.

When Bob Frank says “f’ the rules, he is admitting that leftists are not constrained by anything other than the pursuit of power and control…winning. This is why Marxists can look at the Constitution and do a complete rewrite, actually, disregarding our rule of law. Freedom of speech is not free speech; for Marxists, it is the freedom of accepted speech. The Marxist mindset has no issue with censoring and imprisoning citizens who say things that are not welcome by them. This is happening in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea right now. And we all experienced that with the Biden years through COVID censorship and collusion with big tech platforms.

Freedom of religion has been turned upside down because Marxists are also secular humanists, rejecting any belief in the Judeo-Christian faith heritage God. Marxists have no issue aligning with Islamic jihadists because they share the same objectives: totalitarianism, power, control, and hatred of Jews. But Marxists despise Christians, hence why they sought to shut down Churches during COVID, but you could still go to McDonald’s, Home Depot, or dismember a baby in the womb. Even Hitler praised Margaret Sanger. After all, he did borrow her ideals on eugenics and eradicating the “undesirables.”

Marxists do not want any means by which they could be opposed, especially by armed revolt, hence why they hate the Second Amendment. April 19, 1775, was the definition of why our founding fathers instituted the Second Amendment. As Thomas Paine wrote, “The duty of a true patriot is to protect his country from its government.” As the saying goes, you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out of it. As the Babylon Bee vignette showed, Hitler also embraced gun control.

The Marxist mindset believes in due process when it fits their ideological agenda. The millions of illegal immigrants in the Country that they allowed in deserve due process. But don’t be a Grandma who was on Capitol Hill on January 6th, 2021. You will be hunted down and jailed. And going back to the Second Amendment, Marxists believe they can just show up and take your firearms without any due process. They call it Red Flag laws.

Marxists believe in the subjugation of the individual to the power of the centralized government. That is not what the Declaration of Independence created. Then again, “f” the rules, and our founding principles.

So, why do people vote for Marxists? Simple, because we have not called them out in the past and allowed this cancerous political ideology to metastasize in our Republic. Too many of us have been afraid of being called names, identified as McCarthyists, or called racist. I find it humorous to hear leftists decry Black conservatives as “black white supremacists.” Hey, McFly, the Democrats were the ones who created the KKK, Jim Crow, and white supremacy, and white Marxists still have the mindset that they are superior. After all, we are nothing more than a “basket of deplorables.”

It is time we recognize, accept, and challenge the Marxist mindset. Look at our streets. This is not normal, riots supporting criminal illegal immigrants. Marches supporting crime and criminality. Professions of elected officials against law enforcement. The Marxist mindset rejects law enforcement. Remember, “f” the rules, so law enforcement is seen as the terrorists; the terrorists are not seen as terrorists.

The whole argument about Republicans and Democrats is fading away. It is being replaced by an ideological conflagration between Constitutional Conservatives (classical Liberalism) and Marxism/Islamic jihadism. It comes down to whether the individual is supreme and sovereign or some centralized government power. I found it laughable that Zohran Mamdani was speaking at a Black church this past Sunday, trying to align biblical scriptures with inequality. But the Marxist mindset is crafty, and that is how they have been capable of tricking millions into falling for their lies. Hundreds of millions have died because of those lies.

As the Executive Director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, and a former military officer, I will take a stand against those domestic enemies who say “f” the rules. I took an oath to do so back on 31 July 1982, and I will continue to support and defend that oath, which has no statute of limitations.

Steadfast and Loyal.
