Mexican Communism an American Blessing?
September 15, 2006 09:00 AM EST


Despite the American Left's predisposition with multiculturalism and moral equivalence, there is scarcely a liberal who would long to live in Havana, Tehran, or Pyongyang. After all, it’s one thing to empathize with and extol the idealistic fallacies of communism, or socialism, or maybe a theocratic dictatorship while sitting in a coffee house or classroom in America. It’s another thing entirely to stand in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square without the surety that the driver won't run you over.

Whatever happened to the good ol' despotic dictator? The kind of man who would lord his will over people and force, at pain of death, absolute compliance. Life was far less complicated when evil was so clearly defined that all but the most radical leftists in America saw America as a good thing. Today so many are indoctrinated into this 'enlightened' state of liberalism that socialism and perhaps communism is more appealing in the United States than ever before.

To the American left democracy, liberty, and freedom are old style conventions. The very ideas and beliefs that shaped American culture and birthed the United States are seen out of date, antiquated, or behind the times. To believe in such things as individual accountability, individual responsibility, definitive morality, or the necessary use of violence is to be labeled a Neanderthal, a Neo-Con, a Fascist, and/or an uneducated simpleton. Society, perhaps even mankind, has progressed to a better way and America needs to adjust accordingly to participate in the more enlightened modern world. Only socialism or communism (not by name of course) offers the social values that American liberals feel America deserves. Democracy is the road to socialism. American liberals, knowingly or in ignorance, are striving to achieve this end to some degree. Self restraint is giving way to legislation. Pride in accomplishment is being over taken by imposed overwhelming guilt of having too much when others have not enough. After all, does not the liberal mantra in America ring something like "from each, according to his ability (taxes); to each, according to his need (welfare)?" Is not the liberal sympathy for those entering the United States illegally stemming from misplaced guilt over America’s success in contrast to the Mexican governments repeated failures?

Mexico has never been a true democracy. At its core Mexico has always been a socialistic societal model. Historically Mexico has suffered repeatedly from class warfare. Like Europe, Mexico has had numerous uprisings in order to redistribute its wealth. New governments have taken hold bringing new ideas, new politicians, and new corruption. The end result…an estimated 12 million illegal Mexicans in the United States and thousands more illegally crossing the southern US border daily.

If any country could benefit from a Stalinist or Khrushchev-like communist dictator it’s Mexico. Should Mexico ever fully be overtaken by a communist movement, it could prove to be the greatest thing to happen in that nation’s history.

Imagine what an iron-fisted ruler could do for the stagnant Mexican economy. All wealth, all property, all resources, and all commerce would be the Communist government’s possession to meter out as it sees fit. The livelihood of each citizen would be allocated according to what their dictator assesses his peoples needs are. Every Mexican citizen would be assured work, income, housing, and nearly suffocating nationalism.

America’s immigration troubles would evaporate as the Mexican dictator gleefully builds and militarizes his own wall. The dictator would ensure there was a huge and sturdy wall with guards and guns enough to protect his nation and his people from the evils of American industrialism. There would be no tunnels, no midnight crossings, no death from dehydration in the desert, and no drug runners. Mexican citizens, from an American liberal perspective, would have no reason (or capacity) to leave their utopian paradise since their every need is met by way dictatorial benevolence.

'Viva Revolution' would become a thing of the past for Mexico. A strong military presence would be established to keep order, coupled with a secret police weaved into every city and every sleepy dirt road town. This would ensure that the grateful citizens of the Peoples Republic of Mexico can't mistakenly deviate in thought or deed from the carefully crafted social model designed to provide for their every need. People would disappear by the thousands for a while, but that would provide even more jobs and more food for those Mexicans who, through allegiance to the state, deserve the extra rations or work.

Mexico would become the great social experiment that the American left has been struggling to achieve in the United States for so many years. It would be the resurrection of the parasitic social structure that has resulting in dozens of marginal underachieving, but leftist coveted, European nations.

The prospect of such a blissfully idealistic society forming to the south may have American liberals lining up for miles at the southern border. Once in communist Mexico, Liberals could actually experience those things they coveted in America like the enlightened repression of speech, the stress free absence of choice, the peace of unexpressed ideas, the contentment of prohibited movement, and the glorious equality of the bread line. A life long goal of social and financial equality achieved the repatriated liberals could finally stop trying to engineer of a better way of living in America and enjoy the mindless bliss of their marxist dream.

One can only hope.
