The far left, when you boil their agenda down, always comes down to the same three things: “We want more stuff, less work, and control over everyone else.” Oh, they deny that, or at least, the less stupid ones do, in an attempt to deceive. But it’s interesting to see what socialists and communists say when the mask comes off. In Minneapolis, we recently had a great example of just that; remember, more stuff, less work, control.
Communist and socialist activists are increasingly joining broader liberal protest movements, where they are promoting a 20-hour workweek, rent caps, seizure of private property and confiscating wealth from billionaires.
The proposals, outlined in interviews with Fox News Digital at a recent Minneapolis demonstration, would mark a dramatic shift away from private ownership and free-market principles toward a worker-controlled model if they were ever to come to fruition and would fundamentally change the United States as we know it.
More stuff: Rent caps, seizure of private property, and confiscating wealth. They don’t bother to mention any legal means for doing that; therefore, we may very well presume that they intend to do this the old-fashioned, Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Castro way, at gunpoint. Less work. A 20-hour workweek, which we can presume comes with being paid for 40 hours. Again, the doubled wage will be required at the threat of gunpoint. And all of that requires they be in control.
This is who they are.

And this is one of the young knuckleheads who has torn the mask off.
“We are building a party of professional class fighters, people who are seriously looking at the system of capitalism and coming to the conclusion that we need a revolution… on a socialist basis,” said Owen Phernetton, a member of the Revolutionary Communists of America. He was holding a copy of the group’s newspaper, The Communist, and was wearing a sweater that read “Communism Will Win.”
“This means handing political and economic power to the working class.”
And:
Phernetton said their vision includes placing factories, mines and businesses under collective control, limiting rent to a fraction of workers’ income and using confiscated wealth to fund government-backed healthcare, education and housing.
All of that will be an utter disaster. These people have no idea how to “collectively control” industries as complicated and intensive as any major manufacturing or mining operation. They are, quite literally, advocating for turning over the entire economy to a bunch of Ethnic Underwater Dog-Polishing Studies majors.
Think about this kid’s statements, though. This means the far-left, the nutcase left, is intending to seize power. Notice they don’t mention anything like elections. They don’t intend to be voted into power. They intend to take it. They intend to overthrow the existing order, and they are letting us know it. We should believe them.
Here’s the fun part: This may have worked in Russia, China, or Cuba. It won’t work here. The United States is too big, too vast, with too many people in cities and just enough in the outlying areas to shut off supplies to the cities; and the far left, mind you, is mostly in the cities. And a lot of us are veterans.
