Capitalism seeks to help others through a servce or product it provides. Free Market Capitalism is the most moral and fair economic system available to man.

Socialism redistributes ambivalence and greed.

When Communism Wins, You Lose
August 28, 2022 Leave a comment
“Ungodliness with discontentment is great gain” -a statement that seems to define the attitude and religious practice of the Left. Both mindset and praxis find their motivation in the communist confession of faith.
Ungodliness? “. . . communism is that stage of historical development which makes all existing religions superfluous and supersedes them.” We’ve seen the Left solemnize sex and sodomize the sacred.
Discontentment? “. . . we also see that the development of the proletariat in almost all countries of the world is forcibly repressed by the possessing classes and that thus a revolution is being forcibly worked for by the opponents of communism. If, in the end, the oppressed proletariat is thus driven into a revolution, then we will defend the cause of the proletariat just as well by our deeds as now by our words.” One can find the revolting “oppressed proletariat” on social media. There, you’ll find them whining, complaining, pillarizing, and plundering all day long.
By fomenting a what’s-yours-is-mine discontent with the possessing classes and picking winners and losers, communists “… work to replace the existing social order by community of Property”.
The most recent example involves divvying up the spoils of taxation: Biden Announces Student Loan Relief for Borrowers Who Need It Most. The communist regime signaled to 43 million borrowers that they should be discontented with their chosen plight – student loan debt. Therefore, taxpayer money (Community of property) is to be doled out to the “winners”, communist converts and votes being secured in the process.
The forced redistribution of private property is essential to the revolution of communism. Taxation makes it readily possible. As taxpayers, we are now being forced to pay for a bill we didn’t owe. And that makes Americans losers now and in the future.
Consider that the Biden regime is sending more taxpayer money to the corrupt nation of Ukraine- $3 Billion This while many veterans live on the streets. Biden is on par with Putin with his blatant disregard for the overall welfare of citizens of his own country.
Americans are burdened with direct taxation and with the indirect taxation of inflation created by government spending (not by Putin). It is tax-payers Who Need It (relief) Most. :‘A Tsunami of Shutoffs’: 20 Million U.S. Homes are Behind in Energy Bills

Picking winners and losers. During the COVID plandemic as it worked to replace the existing social order through social engineering, the media made it a point to show that winners wear masks, socially distance, get the jab and basically do what they are told. Losers were the unwashed unvaxxed masses who did not follow “the science”. The media presented Joe Biden saying “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Don’t forget. It was the communist Biden regime that directed OSHA to force the vaccine mandate on the public, as if we were community of Property under state control.
Picking winners and losers. During the 2020 presidential election, the state media and those who stole the election (“defenders of democracy”) decided that communism was to be favored over forms of Christian nationalism.
What is the aim of the Communists?
Answer: To organise society in such a way that every member of it can develop and use all his capabilities and powers in complete freedom and without thereby infringing the basic conditions of this society.
How do you wish to achieve this aim?
Answer: By the elimination of private property and its replacement by community of property.
Dividing people into winners and losers – the oppressed groups and the “privileged” oppressor groups – for the purpose of abolishing differences between estates and classes through the abolition of private property is the stated mission of the church of Marx. Community of Property will somehow set all of us free to be all that we can be – under the state’s control of course.
Preaching discontent of one’s situation and with others is essential to the ministry of the church of Marx (CRT is just one example.). Without discontent there is no communist religion. And without murdering millions of people in the name of that religion there is no great gain – for the ungodly Marxists.

My company’s Women’s Professional Network recently held an electric grid management panel session. The guest panelist: Mark Nelson, the managing director of the Radiant Energy Fund, which advises governments, nonprofits, and industry about nuclear energy.
You will want to hear Mark’s insight regarding nuclear energy.
Mark works tirelessly to prevent early closures of nuclear plants around the world and has attended the UN climate conference in Glasgow as a delegate from the American Nuclear Society. His efforts span the globe, working to save nuclear plants from Germany to California.
Mark holds an MPhil in Nuclear Engineering from Cambridge University and degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Russian Language and Literature from Oklahoma State University.
In this episode, Mark and Aaron discuss the differences between France & Germany, the complexity of the US electric grid, and reasons for hope.
Mark Nelson’s Challenge; Find out where you get your power from, what nuclear plants are nearby, and communicate to politicians that you don’t want them shut down.
“The grid does not currently have the capability to add millions of battery electric or even fuel-cell electric vehicles today,” Jack Brouwer, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCI.
