Trump’s Mandate of Heaven

A Referendum on a Postmodern Regime in the USA.

Leer en Español

The 2022 midterm election is a referendum, not on a government of a particular party with competing policy goals, but on a regime that is dead set on producing a systemic change. Left-wing radicals have sequestered the Democratic Party. The condition of “regime” is met by the auxiliary role that mass corporate media, the Big Tech cartel, woke capitalists, and the federal agencies of law enforcement (FBI, CIA, and DOJ) have in coalescing with the political power in a war to deconstruct America. 

Let’s be clear about the facts. The danger confronting the U.S. is not the potentiality of it transitioning into a social democracy. Socialism and social democracy are two entirely unique animals. The former destroys freedom. The latter undertakes a welfare-state approach within a democratic, capitalist system. The Nordic model, to stress the point, is not socialist. The leftist regime in power today is bent on establishing socialism within the postmodern context.

Without getting too bogged down in philosophical technicality, it becomes, however, inescapable to totally avert it. Every historical timeframe moves within a predominating intellectual paradigm. The Modern Era, for example, rested enormously on reason. Postmodernism, a frustrated child of cultural Marxism, is the intellectual framework in which we are living today. The postmodernist worldview argues that knowledge and truth are socially constricted and power springs from the emanating sociopolitical structure. 

The U.S. Continues to Fail Cuba.

That there is a brutal dictatorship still in power in communist Cuba, is an irrefutable fact. Popular expressions of discontent are a daily occurrence on the island. This is a sure sign that the totalitarian regime is in a state of decomposition. Despite the horrific crackdowns and onerous prison sentences, Cubans continue publicly to exhibit the will to be free. The U.S., an international force with a historical record of supporting liberty around the globe, is failing Cuba, yet again.

The 11^th of July Cuban Insurrection (11J), that epic event where hundreds of thousands of Cubans in over 72 localities took to the streets to demand their natural rights and an end to communist tyranny, presented the current American president with an unprecedented opportunity to facilitate regime change. Unfortunately, instead of acting decisively and in moral coherence with other foreign policy initiatives, such as the support for Ukraine (which is the right thing to do), the U.S. has done absolutely nothing to support the Cuban people. It’s response to the ensuing savage exercise of state terrorism carried out by the Castro-Communist kleptocracy, only produced symbolic verbal critiques and a lot of void drama by the American diplomatic corps. 

How Socialism is Gaining Control of American Business.

The weaponization of culture to advance Marxism, or as Karl Marx preferred to call it, “scientific socialism”, started gaining meaningful influence in the American business community in the 1970s. The Fabian socialists were always clear on this point. Their principal discrepancy with classical Marxists was that they had faith that capitalism could be subverted and made to work for their collectivist nirvana. Instead of controlling the means of production by direct ownership, Fabians (as well as Fascists) argued that business could be suited to fit their political purpose and stewarded through cooptation. The ongoing deconstruction of capitalism is evidence that radical leftism has made enormous inroads into the free enterprise system, once one of the West’s most prized possessions.

The fall of Soviet communism hastened the primacy that non-economic elements of Marxist theory would garner. The hegemonic domination of cultural, educational, civil, and legal institutions in democratic societies by advocates of modern (or cultural) Marxism accelerated the proposition that the market could be made to work for socialist objectives. If Vladimir Lenin could do it in 1921 with the New Economic Policy, a hybrid state-private (foreign capitalist) business arrangement that saved the Bolsheviks, the post-1989 Neo-Marxists, after all, were simply following him. This was precisely Deng Xiaoping’s argument in 1977 and 1978 as he rallied his comrades to help build “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” (the China Model) and thereby save communism in the world’s most populated country. Marx and Engels argued constantly in favor of the primacy of praxis over theory. By the 1990s, the intellectual and practical notion of privately owned production had been completely revamped. 

How Teaching About the Horrors of Communism Made Its Way into Florida Schools: Benjamin De Yurre.

AUTHOR JULIO M. SHILING  AND TOMÁS LUGO

As part of our series of short interviews, contributorJulio M. Shiling sat down for a conversation with journalist, economist, and political analyst Benjamin De Yurre, president of Teaching Anti-Communism in America (TACA), an organization dedicated to introducing the teaching of the horrors of communism into the public education curriculum in the US.

Led by De Yurre, TACA produced the anti-communist curriculum for Florida’s public education authorities and signed it into law by its governor, Republican Ron DeSantis.

Born in Cuba and raised in Venezuela, De Yurre knows very well the effects that communism has on society. He says his initiative was born “by chance” at a meeting of people of multiple nationalities in Miami, including Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. While addressing about a hundred people at that meeting, the economist thought of creating a subject to teach the horrors of communism to the next generations.
