Communists in America have taken their masks off. Under the old code word “Democratic Socialists of America” (DSA), they recently announced their new platform, which amounts to a blatant communist agenda. For starters, it calls for the fundamental transformation of America by erasing the Senate, the Supreme Court, the presidency, and essentially all the checks and balances in the Constitution itself.

When President Trump was asked recently about his warnings on communism, he replied that it’s an evil system that causes you to live in “squalor” and “die a horrible death” in squalor. That’s a good start, but I don’t think Trump went far enough.

Communism is slavery. That’s what we need to say, over and over. All of communism’s companion terms — socialism, Democratic Socialism, collectivism, Marxism, etc. — are weasel words for slavery. Socialist regimes always insist on controlling speech, confiscating property, undermining self-defense, disrespecting the rule of law, and invading private life — all via centralized and unchecked power. 

One of the biggest jokes in the DSA’s platform is that it calls for reparations for slavery while it incorporates all the features of a slave state, including unchecked power for the rulers and no guarantee of individual rights. It’s now clear that socialism adds up to a bait-and-switch scheme to establish slavery and injustice for all. So why don’t we hear this point expressed more frequently? I’ve said it before, and so have several others, including Turning Point USA. 

Equating socialism with slavery is far more effective than trying to engage in pointless debates with communists. Because even schoolchildren know what slavery is. But few Americans understand the theoretical gibberish behind the terms communism, socialism, Marxism, etc. 

Best of all, calling out socialism as slavery forces propagandists who have so much invested in rhetoric against slavery to defend the slavery that is at the very root of communism. 

At the same time, we should note that socialism always fails and has directly led to the murder of more than a hundred million people. Yet younger generations — along with ignorant and pliable masses produced by teachers’ unions and increasingly stupid........
