Why Is Communism Still a Respected Ideology?

Marx’s first crusade was not against capitalism but against soap. I guess every time he had to take a shower, he was too drunk to do it. Otherwise, he always lived off of other people’s money, he never worked, even when his own children were starving, and he drank enough to deform his liver along with his conscience. Surprise: The first Marxist was a shameless rascal, the type of person who would despise the working class.

Lenin was no different. “He was always the spoilt child of the house, surrounded by women who took him for a genius and supported him financially all his life. He never worked,” says one of the most influential and controversial Spanish journalists of the last half century, Federico Jiménez Losantos, author of A Memoir of Communism, a colossal work published in 2018 and not yet translated into English.

Jiménez Losantos attempts to answer the key question: “One hundred years and one hundred million deaths later, why is Communism still a respected ideology?”

Joe Biden won’t like the answer: It is socialists who have taken it upon themselves to excuse Communism’s crimes. For the first time, a book goes into great detail explaining the reasons for this historical complicity, which still stands, with the help of leftists everywhere, from the Democrats in America to the Social Democrats in Brussels. And it stands in spite of incontestable facts, as P. J. O’Rourke described them in Give War a Chance: “It’s impossible to get decent Chinese takeout in China, Cuban cigars are rationed in Cuba, and that’s all you need to know about communism.”

That Communism goes hand in hand with deceit is well known, especially now that we are suffering the consequences of a pandemic secretly exported worldwide by China, under the auspice of the WHO, which is as concerned about world health as Xi Jinping is about allowing the Chinese to go to Mass on Sundays. It’s worth remembering: If China were a free country, its leaders would have raised the alarm in time, and the coronavirus would never have spread to the extent it has today. It is Communism that is to blame for this world crisis.

As Jiménez Losantos reminds us, “the first lie about the Communist revolution” is that it was a “proletarian uprising” against czarism. “In October 1917, there was no czarism in Russia, but instead a democratic republic with the socialist [Alexander] Kerensky at the head of government,” he writes. “What Lenin overthrew was not a tyranny, but a democracy.” As Jiménez Losantos notes: “The only thing the masses really took was the palace cellar. To drink it dry.” Perhaps because, really, “the proletarians who were said to have been saved by Marx, Bakunin, or Lenin did not want to be saved, but to have their own houses, better wages and working conditions, work, life or accident insurance, in short: to be owners.” The truth is that, to be a Communist, you first have to be a millionaire. It doesn’t work the other way around.

Over more than 700 pages, Jiménez Losantos composes a politically incorrect profile of the Communist beast, supported by a very thorough bibliography. He knows what he’s talking about: He used to be a Communist. But in 1976, at the age of 25, after reading The Gulag Archipelago and traveling to China, he broke up with Communism for good. The political powers that be drove him out of the two Spanish radio stations where he’d worked and found success as an opinion leader — perhaps they drove him out precisely because of his popularity. After that, in 2009, he started his own radio station and newspaper, EsRadio and Libertad Digital. From these perches, he defends the role of the United States, where he often spends his summers.

It is socialists who have taken it upon themselves to excuse Communism’s crimes.

Why? Your posts and the article they come from provide no evidence for this claim.

I believe it's mostly false. But if you think it's true, justify it please.
