Something wicked this way comes

With last week’s passing of Ray Bradbury, it is difficult to comprehend how he envisioned future society. The same can be said of Ayn Rand and George Orwell. How did these people know how society would progress? How did they know decades ago that one day we’d be living in a society whose primary concerns are meaningless, shallow entertainment and instant gratification?

We are on the precipice of the revelations of Bradbury, Rand, and Orwell. We’ve seen that Communism, Socialism, Marxism, and Fascism have crippled the peoples of the world, but still do not realize what it will do to America and Americans, once the Left Wing revolution is complete.

“The nuclear family will undoubtedly continue briefly after the overthrow of capitalism on a relatively broad scale. But even in this initial stage, we can predict drastic changes in the role of the family. Rapid development of a household industry, communal kitchens and dining rooms, free automated restaurants, free day care centers and free boarding schools will liberate women from the drudgery to which they are assigned under capitalism, allowing them to enter any field of work they choose, and making possible their active participation in politics on an equal footing with men. As with third world people, it is likely that many of the revolutionary leaders will be women.

Marriage will lose its legal sanctity. It is possible that legal (recorded) marriages and divorces could be handled by dropping a postcard in the mailbox. The prohibition against abortions will be scrapped and there will be free access to birth control for everyone beyond the age of puberty.



Over time, it is reasonable to expect that monogamous marriage and the nuclear family will wither away along with other institutions carried over from class society. Children in a socialist society will not “belong to” one set of biological parents, but will look upon all adults as their mothers and fathers. In turn, adults will view them as children of the whole community. During the years they require of extensive care, training and affection, the children will be raised by professionals who choose to specialize in such work” (Smith, 1969).

A precondition for the victory of the revolution will be the revolutionary temper of the men in the armed forces; the revolutionary reorganization of the army, navy and air forces will be part of the actual process of the revolution. Once power is secured, the new state may want to maintain at least part of these mighty forces under arms long enough to discourage resistance by the ruling classes in other nations to the revolutions that will occur there in the wake of the American success. After that the socialist societies of the world can begin dismantling their military operations together, and begin looking for means to dispose of the heinous chemical-biological-nuclear weapons stockpiled by imperialism.

Bill Clinton introduced the Socialist State that Barack Obama later codified in America, according to the William Jefferson Clinton Memorial Library. This means the government controls everything, including you. Socialism, like Communism, is a consolidate-and-control-the-wealth program; not a share-the-wealth program as many would have you believe. Many socialistic forms of government proposed by progressives, including Hillary Clinton, are illustrated in her book, It Takes A Village. The individual loses all rights and everything is done in the name of the commonwealth. The government owns and/or controls the basic means of production and distribution of services and goods. A federal or state police force will be created; the purpose of which is to put down disturbances, political or otherwise, “root” out political enemies, ensure the loyalty of the people, and enforce laws upon taxation, population control, religion, the workplace, and the family unit. The subjection or elimination, generally the latter, of all religious institutions will occur, with the exception of a state approved and mandated religion. Of course all of these socialist reforms are implemented for the greater good.

Conservatives agree with Sen. Bob Dole (R—KS), “The state is now more involved than it has ever been in the raising of children, and children are now more neglected, abused, and mistreated than they have been in our time. This is not a coincidence, and, with all due respect, I am here to tell you: it does not take a village to raise a child. It takes a family.”

A major campaign of the victorious American revolution, according to Lee, will be a crash program to provide every member of the society with a decent place to live. This will mean the construction of millions of light, clean, modern apartments to replace the decaying, squalid, pest-infested living quarters of people in cities all over the U.S. Along with housing, socialism will provide free, safe and efficient mass transportation systems to reduce reliance on automobiles.

Medical care will be one of the first things made free to all by the revolution. So, the revolution is underway and there are Americans who are not even aware of it. The Clinton presidency clearly presented a clear and present danger to the traditional American way of life that has been grounded in Judeo-Christian principles. The plan, which employs progressive/socialist tactics, is for Americans to give up their freedom willingly. Socialist reform is the only way that a one world order can be established without a direct military confrontation. “We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans …”—Bill Clinton (USA TODAY, 11 March 1993, page 2A).

Communists, Socialists, and Progressives tout what liberal Americans want to hear. These liberal Americans want to believe that they can live in a society where everything will be paid for by the state. They want to live in a society where they can receive 40 hours’ pay for 30 hours’ work. They want to live in a society where their every need will be fulfilled and their only purpose in life will be to eat, drink, and be merry. And who’s going to pay for all of this? These people actually believe that the “workers of the world” will control all facets of their own lives. Wait until the reality sets in; then it will be too late. In Act 4, Scene 1 of Macbeth, the second witch was right, “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” Indeed.
