טרבור לאודן: הסוציאליסטים-הדמוקרטים בארה"ב הם קומוניסטים גמורים שמנסים לרמות את הציבור האמריקני באמצעות שימוש בלשון נקייה

The rise of democratic socialism as the United States raises interesting questions about the actual goals of the DSA and what their vision for the country is. Joining us now live is Trevor Loudon, author, filmmaker, and public speaker. For more than 30 years he's researched Marxist movements as well as the influence of the CCP both right here at home and abroad. Trevor, it's great to have you back with us. I want to start with a brief soundbite from President Trump where he describes the expectations and reality of the socialist platform. Let's have a listen. Liberal became so tarnished, but now it's communist. You know, they say social democrats. No, social democrat is a communist. All right, just so you know. There's no, so if you look at the people that are running, it's crazy what they're doing, but we won't, we'll never let that happen to this country. It can't happen to the country. Canada, there's no appetite for it. Trevor, the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America, they describe themselves as a movement working toward the common good, promising a free, a society free from economic insecurity. In your research, how does that public framing compare with what the organization's own platform actually calls for and may result in? Well, DSA often has webinars on the communist manifesto. They're openly amongst themselves talking about the day that communism will come to America. They're aligned with the CCP. They've made ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Cuban Communist Party and several communist parties in Latin America and Europe, and they have cross-membership with Communist Party USA, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and about a dozen other US communist parties. The difference between democratic socialism and communism is about three years. That's all it is. They are communists. They are straight out communists trying to calm the American public by using a euphemism that can easily be seen through. You read their own publications. They talk about communism all the time, Marxism, this kind of thing. It's only for the public they're trying. Oh no, we're like Sweden. We're like Germany. No, they're not. They're like Cuba and China. That's what they're aiming for. Do you think it's going to work, and what might the nation do to protect itself from work? President Trump and others rarely call these people out for what they are. You've got Flanagan running in Minnesota, who is basically a Marxist. You've got the Senate candidate in Michigan, Al Sayed, who has been accused by members of Democratic Socialist America of being a DSA member and has regularly attended their events. And Francesca Hong, running for governor of Wisconsin, is openly a DSA member. She might be distancing herself now because that suits her, but she's been committed to their agenda for several years now. This is what we've got to understand. They lie. Communists lie. If it gets a bit hot, if the pressure comes on, they will backtrack. But as soon as that pressure comes off, they'll be back to their true selves. They are all communists, effectively. So Americans have got to not keep the pressure on, name them for what they are, and don't accept this democratic socialism garbage. It is communism. Call it what it is, like the president does, like Speaker Johnson does, and several others, because they are right. It's a fraudulent operation, Democratic Socialist America. It's a con job. They are a communist organization. They are more extreme, but they're abolishing the prisons, etc., than the Communist Party USA. Trevor, there's a lot of folks out there that might not realize the threat. Unfortunately, history books don't teach about communism the way that we probably should. So probably a lot of folks don't really know what's at stake or how serious this could ultimately be. Historically, how have communist movements used democratic processes as a path to power? Do you see parallels with the DSA's strategy today from history? What they're doing is really like what happened in Czechoslovakia after World War II. That was one of the few nations of Eastern Europe that didn't go communist through force. The communists got into the government and took over certain government departments, like the police, the security services, etc., and used that to shut down all of their opponents, a little like the Biden administration was doing in the last presidency. Then, peacefully and gradually, they shut down their opponents. They used the tax system to destroy their opposition. They used environmental organizations to destroy businesses that stand in their way, etc. In three to five years, you can have a democratic socialist government, even one with a lot of power in the Democratic Party. In three to five years, you could have Venezuela in America. No problem. That's what they intend to do. They did it in Czechoslovakia. They've done it in several other countries around the world. Not every communist revolution has been bloody. Some of them, like South Africa and others, have been much more slow and so-called democratic, but their goal is always the same—a full-on socialist state controlled by very few people, and mass indoctrination, mass persecution of enemies, mass persecution of churches, etc. That's what they fully intend to do. But they know they can't say that in modern America. They have to be like Francesca Hong and try and moderate their message and say, no, we're just like Sweden. We're just like Germany. I don't agree with all of DSA's positions. If she did not agree with all of DSA's positions, she went through a very rigorous vetting process by DSA. She's been a member for several years. Had she not agreed with all their positions, cancelling the police, all this kind of thing, they would not have endorsed her. She is basically lying before she's even elected. I will remind the audience this did not just happen overnight, although it does appear to have. You, one of the few who've been sounding the alarm for decades, and here we are.
