Trump is right: Democrats really are ‘Marxist lunatics’
In some respects, today’s Democrats are more radical than Karl Marx himself was, especially in their antagonism towards the family and their disdain for the value of human life.
(LifeSiteNews) — After eight years of nonstop persecution—one groundless impeachment and phony indictment after another—one can understand why President Trump would label the leaders of the Democrat Party a bunch of “Marxist lunatics.” “The Radical Left Democrats … these communists and fascists think that they can control our glorious country,” said Trump recently.
Radical Left, Marxists, communists, fascists … is this political hyperbole? Or is it an accurate description of the Nancy Pelosis, the Merrick Garlands and, yes, the Joe Bidens and Barack Obamas who control the Democrat Party and carry out its policies?
Few would deny that Marxism, in both its economic and cultural variants, is now the party’s governing paradigm. Consider the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which includes 100—nearly half—of the Democrat Party’s representatives in the House. The CPC advocates for:
- “A universal health care system”—government-run healthcare, with its long waiting lines and accompanying shortages.
- “A crackdown on corporate greed”—using higher taxes and more regulation to throttle private enterprise.
- “An end to mass incarceration”—the kind of no cash bail, early release policies that Soros-funded district attorneys have adopted and that have unleashed crime waves in Democrat-run cities.
- “Reversing climate change”—radical controls on energy production and use that will impoverish Americans and circumscribe their freedoms.
- “Humane immigration policies”—an open borders policy that the Biden administration has already wholeheartedly endorsed.
- “Reparations”—cash payouts/payoffs to a major Democrat voting block for injustices ended over 160 years ago.
Further underlining the CPC’s radical character, its elected leaders are radical Left Reps Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Omar. Nancy Pelosi called Jayapal “a rising star in the Democratic caucus,” while arch-Progressive magazine, The Nation called her “a leader of the resistance.” As far as Omar is concerned, all you need to know is that her “idol and lifelong inspiration” is America’s most widely known communist, Angela Davis.
This is where the center of gravity of the party is today. These are radical leftist, openly socialistic and Marxist policies which, if not communist, are so close as to be indistinguishable from the real thing.
Like the one-party dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela that they so admire, the modern Democrat Party assiduously censors the internet, denying Americans freedom of speech. Their agents infiltrate peaceful assemblies and provoke violence. The major media in this country, though not state-owned, is ideologically aligned with the party and does its bidding.
The use of terror as a tool for political control is prototypically Marxist and has now been added to the Democrat playbook. The FBI—that the regime now runs as its own private Stasi—conducts pre-dawn raids on the regime’s political enemies. Their purpose is not only to sideline Trump and some of his key supporters but to create a climate of fear among the population at large.
Why else would the FBI consider orthodox Catholics, who merely want to be free to worship in the way that they choose, to be potential domestic terrorists? Why else would it declare just this week that the entire Maga movement—close to half the country—is under surveillance as a breeding ground for right-wing terrorists if not to terrorize those who support America’s founding principles?
The show trials of those the regime regards as enemies of the state are another sign of Communist praxis in action. Christian grandmothers in their sixties and seventies are arrested and given eleven-year prison sentences by Garland’s Department of Justice for protesting at abortion clinics. At the same time, left-wing district attorneys reward BLM rioters with hefty payouts for having “suffered police brutality” while they were burning down buildings.
In some respects, today’s Democrats are more radical than Karl Marx himself was, especially in their antagonism towards the family and their disdain for the value of human life.
All Communists, starting with Marx himself, have seen the family as an obstacle to their own plans to reorganize society. When in power, they invariably set out to weaken, if not entirely destroy, this basic building block of society to make way for their own restructuring of humanity into a giant collective.
Yet even Marx, Lenin, and Mao would be horrified by the Democrat Party’s unconditional embrace of the chemical and surgical mutilation of children in pursuit of the fantasy of an imagined “gender identity.” At least they would be until they came to see, as the Democrats have, its political utility.
Transgenderism, at its root, is an attack by radical Leftists on the family. It is promoted by the Democrat Party in order to divide children from their parents on matters sexual. But if it succeeds, it won’t stop there. There will be other “children’s rights” invented until all parental authority has been ceded to the state, thus achieving the perennial communist goal of making all children creatures of the state from infancy.
In its embrace of late-term abortion, even infanticide, the modern-day Democrat Party does Marx one better as well, although his ideological descendants such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong would heartily approve.
Communist regimes characteristically rule lawlessly, violently, and without regard for human life. Over the past few years of Democrat Party rule, we have moved closer to this state in America than most people realize.
But it’s not just the party’s leaders and policies who are flashing code red, it is the party’s organizational structure as well.
Over the last few years, the Democrat Party has increasingly been run from the top down. Similar to communist parties, the Democrat Party is increasingly a hierarchical organization controlled from the center, with a “central committee” characterized by ideological rigidity and imposing strict party discipline on its elected officials
“It is amazing how the Democrats never break ranks” Mark Levin recently noted about the party’s elected officials. Amazing compared to the often-fractious Republicans perhaps, but not surprising given how tightly controlled these officials are by party central.
The reaction of the “central committee” of the Democrat Party to the prospective candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., tells you all you need to know. They immediately began manipulating the rules governing the selection of delegates and the holding of primaries to favor their candidate (whether it will be Joe Biden or someone else remains to be seen).
In other words, the same party leaders who loudly demand “voting rights” for minors and illegal immigrants during the general election, are deliberately disenfranchising their own voters in the primaries.
Now it is true that the big city machines run by Democrat Party bosses have been stuffing ballot boxes since before the Civil War. And it is also true, as Bernie Sanders found out in 2016, that even then it was an uphill battle to fight the party establishment.
In the years since, under the tutelage of Barack Obama, Eric Holder and others, the party has become even more centralized, and thus far less “democratic.” Behind all the recent machinations is a small group of individuals who dictate what the party policies and procedures will be.
A Democrat Party “politburo,” if you will.
This “politburo” has so rigged the nominating process that, as RFK Jr himself has noted, he would have to win 80 percent of the vote in the Democrat primaries to secure the party’s nomination. The party’s voters are going to have no say in selecting the nominee.
The DNC’s national convention, to be held next year in Chicago, will resemble nothing so much as a communist party congress. The entire performance will be carefully choreographed, outcomes predetermined. Even so, it will probably still be a little more raucous than, say, the 20th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist party.
After all, the pretense of democracy must be preserved by the party of the same name, even as the reality vanishes into history.
So when President Trump warns us that we are dealing with “Radical Left Democrats”, “Marxist lunatics,” and “communists and fascists [who] think that they can control our glorious country,” we had better take him seriously.
Because the Radical Left has already taken over the Democrat Party, along with many agencies of government.
Ask yourself this: Why wouldn’t they hunger to complete their takeover of the United States?

Democrats Have Become The Party Of Authoritarianism. They Only Understand Power
The left isn’t bothered by blatant hypocrisy and injustice. So long as they have power, they’re fine with it.
Perhaps you saw the news last week that two women in their 70s, Jean Marshall and Joan Bell, are each facing up to 11 years in federal prison for blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic in 2020. Federal prosecutors charged the pair for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which Biden’s Justice Department has been aggressively enforcing against pro-life activists, convicting 26 people last year alone.
You might have also seen, a few weeks earlier, that a 42-year-old North Dakota man who ran over and killed an 18-year-old kid for being a Republican was sentenced to just five years in prison on a manslaughter charge, and with credit for time already served on house arrest, will spend only about four years behind bars.
Seeing these two things, maybe you wondered how it could be that two grandmothers might well spend twice as many years in prison for the nonviolent offence of sitting in front of an abortion clinic as a man who intentionally killed another man for his political beliefs. Maybe you thought, as @politicalmath put it on X (formerly Twitter), that the left needs “to start looking at this situation and admitting that this is not justice. They need to shake themselves awake and realize that their team is utilizing the justice system for political punishment and that this is destabilizing our entire culture.”
You might have thought the same thing recently about the Trump indictments. The hypocrisy is after all outrageous. Questioning an election is okay if Hillary Clinton and Democrats do it (as they did in 2016, 2004, and 2000) but it’s a “criminal conspiracy” if Trump and Republicans do it.
Or consider the draconian prison sentences for Jan. 6 rioters (22 years in one case) compared to the leniency shown to Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters, one of whom was sentenced to just 10 years despite setting a deadly fire in a Minneapolis pawn shop during the 2020 George Floyd riots — and this only after federal prosecutors invoked Martin Luther King Jr. and asked the judge to show leniency.
Or again consider the role of Biden’s Justice Department and FBI in protecting Hunter Biden and the president from congressional investigations that are, as of this writing, still uncovering damning evidence of corruption connected to Hunter’s overseas business schemes. Just this week we learned that two payments totaling more than a quarter-million dollars were wired to Hunter Biden from China, and the beneficiary address listed on the wires was Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware. (At the time the wires were sent, Hunter was living in California.)
Surely, you might be thinking, not even the most rabid partisans on the left can think that this is justice, or that this will end well for the country. Surely they see the danger of supporting a politicized federal law enforcement bureaucracy that criminalizes the opposition and uses the justice system as a weapon. Even if they don’t denounce it publicly, certainly they’re talking amongst themselves about how terrible this is and how to stop it. Right?
Wrong. To think this way is to misunderstand Democrats and the left completely. No, they’re not worried about any of this. No, they don’t want it to stop, they want it to continue and intensify. They don’t want justice, they want power.
You don’t have to take my word for it. Increasingly, Democrats will readily admit as much. For example, nearly half of them don’t believe in freedom of speech. A recent RealClear Opinion Research poll found that while solid majorities of Republicans (74 percent) and Independents (61 percent) believe speech should be legal “under any circumstances,” only 55 percent of Democrats agreed.
The same survey found that a third of Democrats think Americans “have too much freedom,” and a majority of them “approve of the government censoring social media content under the rubric of protecting national security.” Worse, about three-quarters of surveyed Democrats think the government has a responsibility to limit “hateful” posts on social media, and they are far more likely than Republicans or Independents to support censorship of political views.
That’s just one survey of course, but it captures a growing trend of authoritarianism on the left. We see it in polls, on college campuses and corporate boardrooms, on social media, and in how the left wields the power of the institutions it has captured, like the FBI and DOJ.
When you see these glaring disparities in how opponents of the Biden regime are treated by the Justice Department and the courts, when you see how corporate media cover the Trump indictments versus how they refuse to cover the Biden corruption scandal, when you see them calling for government censorship of “misinformation” on social media, understand that they are never going to take a step back and consider whether all of this is justice or injustice.
Despite the outdated moniker of “social justice warrior,” leftist Democrats aren’t interested in real justice. They’re interested in gaining and using power. Once they have it, they’ll use it against their enemies. Appealing to their desire for civil comity is futile. They have no use for comity so long as they have power.
This is to say, they won’t stop this until what they are doing to their enemies is in turn done to them. You don’t like left-wing district attorneys indicting the Republican frontrunner ahead of election season? Better find some GOP state attorneys general to indict Hunter and Joe Biden.
You don’t lie Attorney General Merrick Garland using the Justice Department to protect a corrupt Biden administration? Better impeach him along with Biden. Don’t like a woke U.S. military funding abortions and gender surgeries on the defense secretary’s say-so? Better do as Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has done and use all available leverage to stop them.

Power is the only language the left understands. So if Americans on the right want to be anything more than a managed opposition — and let’s be honest, plenty of elected Republicans are happy to be exactly that — they had better figure out how to wield the limited power they do have. And they had better hurry.
