Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller
If we’re going to win this (final) war, we must get over the distracting fantasy—or (as it were) red herring—that Karl Marx started it, and that the Kremlin has (somehow) been driving it
That life under the “new normal” is, or will be, much like communism there can be no doubt; and that “woke” ideology—especially Critical Race Theory and, to some extent, queer theory—derives in part from the works of certain Marxist intellectuals (as James Lindsay holds) is surely true. (I strongly recommend his book Race Marxism, on the rise of CRT.)
While both those things are true, however, it is certainly not true that this catastrophe was hatched by “Marxists,” intent on realizing “global communism,” as Lenin (say) envisioned it, and Trotsky spent his life pursuing it (a Bolshevik game plan that ended with the rise of Stalin). The retro conviction that COVID is a commie plot (along with all the other horrors of these last three years, including radical transgenderism) has all but taken over the health freedom movement, or at least its rightist membership. This is apparent in (to name a very few examples) Stew Peters’ rants, the fiery output by Emerald Robinson, Jesse Watters and others aiming endlessly (and only) at the CCP, and—most disappointingly—in Plandemic 3.
Now, let me state, for the record, that I am not now, nor have I ever been, etc. I am a dedicated member of the movement for health freedom, and do believe in fighting back against the propaganda used to wipe that freedom out. I don’t believe that we can win this war if we keep fighting the wrong enemy, nor can we win it by deploying propaganda every bit as bellicose, simplistic and repressive as the output of the Bolsheviks, or Peter Hotez. If the health freedom movement lets this anachronistic idée fixe distract it from such mighty players as (say) the Department of Defense, CIA and FBI, CDC (another military agency) and NIH, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Council on Foreign Relations and the eugenicists who formed the Club of Rome, and if our movement lets this anticommunist fixation further split the people of this country, it’s going to lose this war for sure—a danger that obliges us to wonder if this Great Leap Backward by our movement may not be encouraged, or abetted, by our overlords.
The role of “communism” in our current plight is an immense and complex question, which no single Substack post could even start to settle. All I want to do here is (as academics say) to put that question into question, and also call attention to this early essay by Karl Marx, which surely complicates the notion that this bio-fascist hell on earth sprang somehow from his thought.

Fog of war and information out of Russia next several days. Things to consider.
Any news on Gonzalo Lira? Is he being Assanged?
Miller is intelligent but seems to conflate communism with complete NWO globalism.
Similar but not identical.
“The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for “the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government.”
Harpers, July 1958
“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. ”
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876
Marxist communist gets a taste of Marxist communism applied to him, finds he does not like it, and proceeds to explain it away as not “real” Marxist communism.
If only there were a two word phrase for this.
” International Liberalism ” says CFR
Talmudic judaism?
Marxist Communism (in search of the miraculous)
I was going for “useful idiot”.
The NWO is not communism, it’s feudalism.
The correct way to counter it is not to attack communism, but to defend republicanism.
Communism is a means, not an end. Totalitarianism, or full-spectrum dominance, is the end. Any narrative that convinces the masses to stand down and accept rule is the same. Retain individual ownership. All collectivism aids those who seek to rule.
Flash’s insistence on “tribing up” merely makes one more identifiable and easier to target. Once the bravest tribal members are removed, the lesser ones do as they’re told. Decentralization is the best strategy.
“Communism is a means, not an end. ”
Right. Most things that people think are the target are actually just a tactic.
Be gray and have a list.
attack and defend can mean a lot of things. Libertarianism got us where we are today by tolerating the speech and actions of the((( communists))) and their fellow travelers.
Healthcare, transgenderism, transhumanism, and climate deception (i.e. scientism) are merely the means to sell the dream of a Rainbow Revolution transitioning into a collectivist utopia.
Peoplekind > God = [insert appropriate “ism” here]
That’s the connection.
OK, it’s the commie bolshies.
If you can’t connect the dots by now, you’re not going to make it.
It’s not “communism”, it’s (((communism))).
