美国大选中的共产幽灵

【真相网2020.12.7】仅仅在一年前，共产主义几乎已经偃旗息鼓的声音，又在西方媒体响起。

2019年，《华盛顿邮报》（Washington Post）曾经刊文称：“不，中国和美国并没有陷入意识形态之争，还差得远呢。”文章解释说，中共“意识形态已经破产”，它只是“名义上的共产党”。《福布斯》（Forbes）杂志也发表了一篇题为《中国经济的成功证明了资本主义的力量》的文章。福布斯解释说，中国共产党对社会的控制只是一个正在消失的过去式的幽灵。

然而这个看似消失的幽灵，在2020年的美国大选中，却刹那间象一个怪兽般复活。早在上世纪初，被列宁称为英雄的谢尔盖·涅恰耶夫（Sergey Nechaev）曾公开宣称，“革命者可能而且必须经常生活在社会中，同时假装自己与真正的自己完全不同。”

2020年是不平凡的一年，从新冠疫情到美国大选，共产主义幽灵肆虐，真相被谎言混淆，世人难辨真假。疫情没有结束，大选仍在进行，正义与邪恶的博弈正难分难解。

从历史的传统上，西方世界及其媒体一直保持对于共产主义的冷战姿态，然而在中国经济融入全球一体化之后，这个界限却越来越模糊。尽管自川普2016年以来，已陆续将充斥中共意识形态的孔子学院、大外宣拒之门外，然而，在过去数十年的西方绥靖选择之下，“红色”意识形态的枝蔓已无形中攀爬到了西方世界的心脏地带。

在这一次的美国大选中，下面是已经发生与正发生的一些现象：

1、鼓动暴力，煽动仇恨

在大选之前，一场“黑人”维权的运动持续了整个夏天，被共产邪灵控制的主流媒体及左派政府官员们却打着“政治正确”的旗号，并没有呼吁制止暴乱，而是将矛盾推向川普。

暴力抗议者焚烧警车、打砸抢烧，全美共有16州的25座城市实施宵禁，包括纽约、芝加哥、西雅图、洛杉矶、三藩市、休斯顿等大城市在内的许多地区陷入半瘫痪状态，多人在骚乱中伤亡。

示威者提出的口号是，“砸烂一切，才能重建”（You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down）。即“废除现在的警察、监狱、法院和刑事司法系统”。

然而在一些州、市放任暴力蔓延，甚至禁止警察正常执法，有的还默认、参与对警察的歧视。视民意为无物，眼看民众利益受损，却不伸张正义。

从上世纪二十年代后期开始，中共“打土豪、分田地”，鼓动流氓无产者用违法的暴力手段从地主手中夺取土地，在杀害无辜地主的同时，放大人们“斗争”和“不劳而获”的魔性。而中共却在过程中骗取了民心。

“砸烂一切，才能重建”，这正是共产主义者的口号，中共在中国大陆夺权时的口号，同样是“砸烂一个旧世界，才能建立一个新世界”。隔了一个世纪之后，这个口号出现在了美国！

以自由、民主、法制立国的美国，今天居然也出现了类似的共产革命运动。一位网友问道：“这莫名其妙的共产主义在美国捣乱，背后是谁？“

2、颠倒黑白，隐瞒事实

过去的四年中，针对川普总统的谣言与抹黑持续不断，无中生有地编造通俄门、乌克兰电话门导致的弹劾案等猎巫行动，颠倒黑白。特别在本次大选期间，美国三大传媒ABC、CBS与NBC对川普的负面报道超过90%。然而，这些媒体对拜登的“电脑门”丑闻和“选票舞弊”丑闻却选择性失明，装聋作哑。

11月11日，美国《纽约时报》头版发表文章，题目是“大选官员发现：全国都没有欺诈”。CNN也做出了同样的报道“没有欺诈”。但事实上，一个又一个作弊的现场视频、人证、言证早已在自媒体播出，几乎全世界都知道，选票舞弊泛滥，然而媒体却把已经发生的事实一切归零。

11月14日，来自美国50个州的数十万民众，聚集美国首都华盛顿DC，举行盛大游行，声援川普，要求“停止窃取”大选。这样一目了然的事实，美媒《华盛顿邮报》写道：“‘数千名’美国总统川普的支持者，今天在华盛顿DC市中心上街游行”，CNN报导同样说现场“几千人”。在媒体的描述中，为正义而呼的百姓成为潜在的危险分子，而对于把支持川普者打得头破血流的受害者，却不着一墨。

什么样的人才可以面对真相却可以安之若素，把黑的成白的，把白的说成黑的？

就在年初，当中共病毒刚开始蔓延，中共的官员面对央视镜头却公然称“可防可控”，未发现“明显人传人现象”。全世界都知道中共病毒是从武汉传出，然而中共外交官公然称病毒来源于美国。

三十多年前的“六四”天安门事件，在坦克与军队碾压过广场之后，中共发言人面对全世界媒体宣称，天安门事件没有死一个人。而一夜未眠的北京市民仅仅从亲身经历、目睹，就已经知道了若干邻居、亲友被中共屠杀。

在六十年前，中共搞大跃进、大锅饭，发生了三年大饥荒，饿死三千余万人，数年后面对外国记者的采访，中共的回复是，中国没有饿死人的现象发生。

1999年之后，又煽动全国民众反法轮功，把精神病患者、意外事故死亡者嫁祸法轮功学员，制造1400例、天安门自焚谎言，极尽抹黑、栽赃之能事。

有良知的人，永远无法想象卑鄙者将要突破道德底线的边界在哪里。

3、假戴面具，包藏祸心

从2016年川普表明拒绝社会主义，去除“政治正确”起，潜藏于深层的黑暗势力就虎视眈眈了。

“政治正确”的具体表现是，把人群按照“受压迫”程度分成等级，“受压迫”最深重的要受到最高程度的尊重和礼遇。这种不问个人品行和才能、只问人群（肤色）归属的“唯成份论”被称为“身份政治”。

这和共产党国家把人按照财产分成阶级、“红五类”、“黑五类”，万恶的资本家，吃人的地主富农，如出一辙。

在“民主自由”、“政治正确”口号下，表面上是人人平等，实际上却是祸害众生。同性婚姻合法化、大麻合法化进社区；“跨性别厕所”男女同厕；限制警察对非裔罪犯执法等等，这些举措无不在“进步主义”、“平等平权”的旗帜下推行，实质上是纵容人无底线地放纵人的欲望，过分强调自我，追求绝对自由，使人不断偏离正统的道德标准。

中共打着“共产主义”的旗号，在夺取权力之前，将自己包装成“伟大、光荣、正确”的人民救星，是人民的公仆，一切财产公有共享，声称“为人民服务”；在夺取权力之后，却撕下面具，兑变为无官不贪，一切向钱看，笑贫不笑娼，贪官家里的钱点钞机都要烧坏几台。在无神论的肆虐之下，中共已将正常的社会道德远远地抛弃。

如果说苏联、东欧、中共是用暴力抢夺了政权，而美国则是在宪政体制下蚕食风化。然而，当把共产主义已经发生的一幕幕历史陈列时，美国大选发生的一切有如共产历史投射的镜像。在美国的宪法制定之初，立法者就曾阐明，宪法虽然完备，对于遵守道德的人来说，它是好的契约，但对于不道德的人却无能为力。也就是人们所说的防君子不防小人。美国正遭遇空前的宪政危机，此刻的美国已经走到了悬崖边上……

大选面临选择：或者让媒体沦为一党一派的工具，或者让言论自由、公平公正重归媒体；或者让这里沦为吸毒乱性娈童的乐园，或者维护自由民主繁荣的福地。

末法之世，世风日下，道德败坏，“假、恶、斗”横行。然而，在古老的中华文化中却有着这样的洞见，“物极必反，否极泰来。”历史的舞台，不是给邪恶搭建的。

大选看人心，善恶自己定。一位网友这样写道：“从来，正义会有些许迟到，但未见缺席！川普连任似有悬念，但那绝不是断崖。如果大选一马平川，正义的价值就不会显得弥足珍贵，如果邪恶不兴风作浪，正邪的较量就难以触及每一个人的心灵。不是神在退却，是神在选择。善恶分明后的拯救与喜悦将会给历史带来永久的见证。我们箭在弦上的心灵怦怦跳动，不是因为看不见前哨的光明，而是因那邪恶灭亡的时刻触手可掬。”

The Shadow of Communism Behind the U.S. Election
Nov. 27, 2020

(Minghui.org) How far is communism from us? Depending on how one sees it, it could be as distant as across the ocean in communist China, or it could be around the street corner.

In Seattle earlier this year, a protest organizer was interviewed. “I’m not here to peacefully protest,” he declared, “You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down.”

What kind of ideology is this? The closest one is what Karl Marx coined in the Communist Manifesto. “The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims,” Marx wrote, “They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”

The Manifesto, as we know, was the driving force behind the Paris Commune (1871), Soviet Union, East European Communism, and Communist China. So, where will this lead us to?

“If we add to this list the deaths caused by communist regimes that the Soviet Union created and supported—including those in Eastern Europe, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia—the total number of victims is closer to 100 million. That makes communism the greatest catastrophe in human history,” wrote a November 2016 Wall Street Journal article titled “100 Years of Communism—and 100 Million Dead.”
The Boiling Frog Phenomenon

While historians and scholars have reviewed what can be learned from history, many have failed to detect the emerging communism in the new era, including that on American soil.

“No, China and the U.S. aren’t locked in an ideological battle. Not even close,” declared Washington Post in the title of a May 2019 article.

“China's Economic Success Proves the Power of Capitalism,” announced Forbes in the title of another article two months later.

Now let us check what Marx said about this. In the Manifesto, he wrote, “A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.” That implies at least two things. First, as a specter communism could attach and occupy whoever fits its ideology. Secondly, it could disguise itself – wherever needed and whenever possible – to adapt to the environment, especially when running at large such as in Asia and the Americas.

History has proven this. From the Paris Commune to the Gulag Archipelago, from the Cultural Revolution to the totalitarian regime in Pyongyang, each has its own characteristics. And yet, their ideology, terror, and damage – socially and culturally – are largely the same.

So, how about socialism? Some people confuse it with communism and are not aware they are essentially the same thing. Sergey Nechayev, Russian’s socialism pioneer, was a loyal follower of Marx. Vladimir Lenin referred to him as “titan of the revolution” and required all communists to read Nechayev’s writings such as “Catechism of a Revolutionist.”

Nechayev listed 26 aspects in this piece. In the 14th item, he wrote, “Aiming at implacable revolution, the revolutionist may and frequently must live within society while pretending to be completely different from what he really is, for he must penetrate everywhere, into all the higher and middle-level social formations, into the merchant's commercial establishment, into the church, the gentry estate, and the world of the bureaucrat and military, into literature...”

With these approaches, he would achieve the goal as described in the 26th, and last item, “To weld this world into one single unconquerable and all-destructive force – this is our organization, our conspiracy, our task.”

During the Cold War era, Western society was weary of the communism influence and maintained a political division. But the communism ideology's infiltration had never stopped since John Reed in 1917 and Edgar Snow in the 1930s. After Western society loosened its guard on the communism and nurtured its growth, China quickly grew to become the second largest economic entity in the world, all the while actively pushing the communism ideology worldwide. This includes the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), high technologies such as Huawei, and a goal of Community of Common Destiny for All Mankind (a term from the CCP which was later called Community of Shared Future for Mankind).

Although the current U.S. administration has taken actions to counter the CCP through trade talks, ban of Huawei technologies, closing of Confucius Institutes and so on, the Boiling Frog phenomenon caused by the decades-long infiltration was already deep and wide. As the coronavirus epidemic broke out in China in late 2019, hardly any country or organization was able to safeguard against the CCP’s massive disinformation and continued cover-up.

By the end of November 2020, over 60 million people in nearly 200 countries have been infected with coronavirus with a death toll of more than 1.4 million. This is the price of our trust in communism.

And it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Shadows of Communism

Defending the free world is not easy. In addition to external challenges from the CCP, the communist elements also surfaced inside the U.S. as shown in the past few months, especially during the presidential election.

Violence and Hatred

In the name of fighting racial discrimination, riots occurred across the U.S. in a few months earlier this year. Instead of calling for peace, left-leaning news media and officials redirected the conflicts to President Trump.

Police cars were burned with stores ransacked or ruined. Twenty-five cities in 16 states were forced to impose curfews. This includes almost all the largest cities in the U.S. such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle. Many of these cities were paralyzed with large numbers of injuries or even deaths.

Experts familiar with communism activities saw similar traits in these riots. This includes Dan Powell of the Victims of Communism. “When you see the violence, you're seeing the people who are anarchist, Antifa and communist,” he said on June 1 in an article titled “Local anti-communist leader says some among protesters want ‘destruction, chaos’” on KMOX Radio.

“They'll take advantage of this situation to create chaos,” he added, “They want death to the police. They want to abolish the police, we saw that in Ferguson where someone had a sign with an anarchy symbol that said, ‘Abolish the police.’ They want destruction, they want to break things because they want chaos.”

This is similar to the situation in China, when communism stirred up chaos in the early days. The slogan “You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down” mentioned above is not only part of the Manifesto from Marx, but also has similar phrases in CCP doctrine, “Only by smashing the Old World, can you build a new world.”

Strangely enough, few city governments in the U.S. challenged this situation and some even blocked law enforcement by police. This highlights that the acquiescence of communism goes beyond those looters.

Misinformation by News Media

While the Trump administration intended to correct the appeasement policy towards the CCP, the resistance he has been facing is huge. Since he became president in 2017, the Left has constantly launched activities against him, including the Russia investigation and impeachment.

The situation deteriorated during the 2020 election season. Statistics show that over 90% of reports about Trump from the three major news networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) were negative. On the other hand, these media hardly covered the laptop scandal of Biden and the election fraudulence.

Most other major media have also played a similar role. From New York Times to CNN, none of them questioned the fairness of the election or followed up with investigations.

On November 14, hundreds of thousands of American citizens gathered in Washington D.C. for a large rally to support Trump and call for an investigation of election fraud. But the Washington Post and CNN decreased the estimated number to thousands and depicted the peaceful event as one with potential danger to the public.

What kind of news media has done something similar in the past?

After the coronavirus epidemic broke out, the CCP officials suppressed information, punished whistleblowers, and openly denied the human-to-human transmission.

But this was not the first time the CCP has done so. After the Tiananmen Square Massacre, CCP officials also denied the slaughter despite a large amount of evidence and video footage. Similarly, after 45 million people died in the Great Chinese Famine between 1959 and 1961, CCP officials also denied it and treated it as taboo for scholars.

Vladimir Lenin said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” How far are we from the threshold of communism?

Political Correctness

By now, many people may have realized the seriousness of political correctness in the West. But few people understand its deep connection with communism.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small,” wrote Theodore Dalrymple, journalist and psychiatrist, “In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.”

“When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity,” he continued, “To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed.”

But rectifying this issue is very difficult. Once Trump announced his intention to do so, he has been under attack almost all the time. Under the umbrella of political correctness, however, same-sex marriage became a norm, legalization of marijuana faced minimal resistance, unisex restrooms are considered an improvement, and law enforcement by police is treated like a criminal activity.

In the name of equal rights or progressiveness, culture is ruined, moral values have deteriorated, and the free world is on the verge of collapse.

Scholars have found that all these had happened in the past in communist nations and every time it has brought dire consequences. As the CCP suppressed the landlords to take over their lands, it labeled them enemies of the state; what happened next was the confiscation of property from business owners, and mistreatment of intellectuals – until all the traditional values and human dignity were wiped out just like that in the Cultural Revolution.

The manifestation of communism mentioned above requires our diligence and joint efforts to resolve. On the positive side, the Berlin Wall has already come down, the Soviet Union has dissolved, and communism in East Europe has also ended. Inside China, over 360 million people have announced to quit the CCP organizations after the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in 2004.

As long as we can follow our conscience and act uprightly, we will be able to drive away the specter of communism, for it to die out under the sunlight. At that point, what waits for us is a brighter tomorrow.
