It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless … people.
Liberals hardly notice when Rush Limbaugh makes a statement like that; its all in the Conservative talk radio noise. But when Russian journalist Stanislav Mishin makes it, every American ought to tune in and listen as intently as they would if E. F. Hutton opened his mouth. The quote is the opening sentence in Mishin’s article,
American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper, which appeared in the April 27, 2009 edition of
PRAVDA On-Line1, a Web-based reincarnation of the former official organ of the Soviet Union’s Central Committee,
Pravda, which Russian Federation President Boris Yeltzin ordered shut down in 1991.

Mishin derides America’s capitalist arrogance and inability to arrest Marxism’s influence. His article evinces sarcastic admiration for the speed with which upstart Marxist rookie, Barak Obama, and his comrades are showing up Russia’s Bolsheviks, who “wrote the book” on social revolution. In particular, Mishin cites profligate Government deficit spending and private industry takeovers by the Obama Administration as examples of their bold and aggressive style.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
Mishin continues, citing various social strategies statists have implemented to weaken American resolve against totalitarianism:
… the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years … Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters … First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture … Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses …
Mishin concludes by exhorting fellow Russians who own businesses and industries in America to “look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.”
One of the things I take away from reading Mishin’s article, and it is telling, is this: When the Russian media become a more accurate and reliable source of information about goings-on in America than the American media, it is time to stop indulging America’s mainstream media by absorbing their spin on the “news.” Otherwise, the results can be disastrous—well-meaning Americans who would otherwise oppose the statists’ pernicious revolution, were they accurately informed, end up being its willing accomplices.
I would encourage everyone who reads this to go to Pravda On-Line and read Mishin’s article. If you happen to be one of the American mainstream media’s hapless victims, it is time to de-neutralize yourself and engage, as Mishin exhorts Russian business owners, “as fast as possible” and “while there is still value left” in the American dream.

1 PRAVDA On-Line is an Internet-based newspaper run by former Pravda newspaper employees and is unrelated to Pravda. (Source: http://www.wikipedia.org)
2 Pravda (Russian: "Truth") was a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party between 1912 and 1991. The Pravda newspaper was started in 1912 in St. Petersburg. It was converted from a weekly Zvezda. It did not arrive in Moscow until 1918. During the Cold War, Pravda was well known in the West for its pronouncements as the official voice of Soviet Communism. (Similarly Investia was the official voice of the Soviet government.) After the paper was closed down in 1991 by decree of President Yeltsin, many of the staff founded a new print newspaper with the same name, which is now a tabloid-style Russian news source.
