Three More Things From Memeorandum We Won't Read

After however many yrs. of building the Ronald Reagan tearing down the wall w/ his bare hands myth, no one has learned the lesson? Really?

All that can be learned from the menacing threat of communism is that the state & its enabling pundits want to scare you w/ national security bullshit & attendant fear-mongering, distracting you from noticing that your rights & freedoms have been taken away in order to save them. Because, unless the army has mutinied & is, as we type, storming the Winter PalaceWhite House w/ a mob of Bolsheviks, there is currently sweet fuck all resembling communism (threat or menace) in these United Snakes.

Yet almost twenty yrs. on it's "Communism has fallen, but don't let down your guard: It's trickiest when it's down!" Who still writes this crap? It was starting to creak by the time of the double-knit leisure suit, you'd think it would be as long forgotten.

In parting, we'd love to explain to Bruce McQuain that neither big-c nor little-c communism had much impact on political discourse in the big-w West; why would the collapse of something routinely dismissed as bound to fail have had any impact beyond a rousing chorus of "Nyah nyah nyah," which we'll just bet is what we'd hear if we did read this trinity of turkeys.
