BOHICA The Magnificent (or How We Screw Ourselves)

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Nikita Khrushchev said in an address to Western ambassadors at a reception at the Polish embassy in Moscow on November 18, 1956, "We will bury you."

Later, on August 24, 1963, Khrushchev remarked in his speech in Yugoslavia, "I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you."

The reference is based on the Communist Manifesto, where the wealthy producers of society are portrayed as powerful plutocrats who use and destroy the working class to achieve the aims of their greed for riches and power.  Marxism calls for a rise of the workers, a rise to defeat the wealthy bourgeoisie and establish a society where there are no classes, no possessions, no riches, and no individuality.  "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism", reads the concluding statement in Chapter 1 of the Communist Manifesto: "What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable".

Khrushchev repeated this Marxist thesis once again at a meeting with journalists in the U.S. in September 1959.

While Americans interpreted the quote to mean that the Soviet Union would defeat the United States, or that the phase was a nuclear threat, the statement was ideological.  The phrase "We will bury you" peered deeply into history, accompanied by every utopian scheme ever conjured up.  Karl Marx believed that communism was a natural conclusion for humanity, and it was liberty that is a disease.  Liberty enables individuality and opportunity, an allowance for people to exercise their selfish desires, and separate themselves from the masses, elevating themselves to something above other people, using them, acting like a cancer devouring the lower class for the sake of their greed.

A hard life awaits those that fall into the trap of socialism, for while they believe they are working towards fairness and equity, instead of eliminating the classes, they are forming two new ones - the haves, and the have nots; the controlled, and the controllers.  The dreams of Marxism live on in Western Governments, acting as a caring and fair system, while actually a system Karl Marx envisioned.  The international leftists work toward the dreams of Karl Marx, and the American liberal democrats are trying today to put into place  the oppressive system in the United States.  Such a system requires administrators, overlords, and the Democrat Party politicians believe they are the members of that club of the ruling elite.  Despite the claims of Marx's followers, their push is for the slavery of the people. As the populace realizes the truth, they fight back, which is why we are seeing Mitt Romney taking over the lead in the upcoming 2012 Presidential Election.  It turns out that freedom is man's natural desire.

Humanity, however, easily falls for schemes of statism.  When the leaders call for democracy, the people flock like sheep.  They come to the trough, ready to drink the soothing waters of hope and change, not realizing that behind the promises are lies and enslavement.

Karl Marx once said, "Democracy is the path to socialism."

The Soviet Union is no more, but in the United States her spirit lives, calling for an end to our republic, calling the U.S. Constitution antiquated and no longer applicable to our ever-changing society.  The workers call out through the labor unions for statism, the politicians cry out for the rich to pay just a little more in an already oppressive progressive tax system.  The producers are told they need to pay their fair share, and the workers are promised higher wages as they become more and more enraged over the bonuses and lofty pay-outs of executives and CEOs.  America's capitalism has been proclaimed a failure.  The working class threatens to rise up, and those that can stop such madness bicker among themselves over the purity of candidates, and differences of personalities.  While utopian schemes threaten to end our way of life in America, we fight over minor differences.  We screw ourselves by not uniting against the leftist threat, leaving us only one option after the dust settles. . . to bend over and accept what we brought upon ourselves.

The Constitution is merely ink and paper if we don't fight for it, and liberty is merely an idea if we don't practice it.

In the process, we threaten to bury ourselves.
