Since MSNBCs Rachel Maddow is still preoccupied with the supposed influence of Russia on President Donald Trump and the American political process, we suggest that the publication of a new book called Communism for Kids by MIT Press is worthy of her attention. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian revolution, this book offers a glimpse into an uprising that was global in scope and which has not only destroyed the moral fiber of Russia, but has also done enormous damage to America.

The author of Communism for Kids, Bini Adamczak, writes that the Russian revolution instilled new hope, particularly in women and people who did not identify themselves within the hetero-normative paradigm. The destruction of the family, she writes, was the goal. With the revolution, the right to legal abortion, both sexes right to divorce, the decriminalization of adultery, and the annulment of the sodomy law (which had previously prohibited homosexuality) were implemented and enforced, she explains.

In Moscow, one could find international communes led by gay communists, she says. Drag kings could become legitimate members of the Red Army. Participants of the revolutionary debates decided upon the destruction of the family, demanded the legalization of incest, and advertised the practice [of] polygamy.

Queer communism is the battle cry of these modern Marxists, who label themselves Queer communists and identify with the origins of the Russian revolution.

Its doubtful that Maddow, despite her obsession with Russia, will turn to this fascinating topic, since she is one of the liberal medias open advocates of the homosexual lifestyle. She is a favorite of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA), which now calls itself the Association of LGBTQ Journalists.

On Thursday, in New York City, CNNs Don Lemon will host a star-studded event for the NLGJA designed to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the organizations programs. More than 350 journalists, news executives, dignitaries and allies attend this event each year in what has become one of New York Citys must-attend media events, the advertisement for NLGJA says.

The corporate media sponsors include Comcast/NBC Universal, Fox News, ABC News, CNN, CBS News and the New York Post.

Despite the virtual integration of the corporate media and the gay rights movement here in the U.S., Communism for Kids author Bini Adamczak writes that more advances have to be made in the field of queer politics, using the strategies of Marxist revolution. Eventually, she says, modern reproduction technologies could be used to completely abolish the sexes.

Transgender liberation is the next major frontier. She notes that In her autobiographically inspired novel Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg grants readers a powerful insight into the connectedness of queer politics. Feinberg, a Marxist member of the Workers World Party, was identified as an anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist. Her last words before she died were, Remember me as a revolutionary communist. Hasten the revolution!

Another prominent advocate of transgender liberation is Bradley/Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. Army analyst sentenced to prison for espionage for his/her collaboration in the release by WikiLeaks of thousands of top secret intelligence reports. Former President Obama commuted Mannings sentence, which was originally 35 years in prison for espionage, and he/she will now be released on May 17, after only seven years in prison. Manning was an open homosexual in the Army before deciding to become a woman.

WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service, declared President Trumps new CIA director, Mike Pompeo. It has encouraged its followers to find jobs at CIA in order to obtain intelligence. It directed Chelsea Manning in her theft of specific secret information. And it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States, while seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations.

Yet Pompeo has not indicated whether the lax rules that are in place at the CIA and other intelligence agencies, permitting mentally disordered and confused transgender individuals to gain employment and get top secret security clearances, will be changed.

It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really isa non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia, Pompeo said. In January of this year, our Intelligence Community determined that Russian military intelligencethe GRUhad used WikiLeaks to release data of U.S. victims that the GRU had obtained through cyber operations against the Democratic National Committee. And the report also found that Russias primary propaganda outlet, RT, has actively collaborated with WikiLeaks.

In his article for AIM, CIA Funding and Recruiting LGBT, Alex Nitzberg wrote about how the CIA maintains its own employee organization called ANGLE, which stands for the Agency Network for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Officers and Allies. Last December 16, the CIA itself announced that ANGLE had received an award for promoting LGBT issues.

Obamas CIA Director John O. Brennan was quoted as saying, It is difficult to overstate how heartening this progress has been to me. Indeed, one of the highlights of my tenure has been seeing the LGBT community blossom under the leadership of ANGLE and its cadre of devoted alliesa group to which I proudly belong.

Brennan was also an ally of Muslim and pro-communist CIA employees. He personally voted communist before joining the agency in 1980.

The CIA has released a documentary ANGLE of Ascent, highlighting the key role CIA leaders have played in building inclusive environments and focusing on the cultural shift that occurred within the Agency since the signing of Executive Order 12968, which gave LGBT officers the right to obtain a security clearance and serve openly in the Federal Government.

The CIA exists to gather and assess intelligence in order to protect Americas national security, wrote Nitzberg. Americans must decide whether they believe the CIAs involvement in recruiting from and funding LGBT events serves to advance those objectives.

But Americans are not given the opportunity to pass judgement because they are kept in the dark by elements of the news media in bed with the homosexual and transgender movements. As part of this collusion, Pompeo will be encouraged to continue Brennans pro-LGBT policies at the CIA. He will be threatened with the charge of homophobia if he decides to return the CIA to its mission of protecting Americas secrets.

Queer Communism Finds its Voice - Accuracy In Media

Feeling a bit flabby? Worried about that spare tire you're carrying around? Stuck with 10 stubborn pounds you simply can't shed? Good news, everyone! We'vediscovered a surefire weight-loss recipe: communism!

As would-be British pol James Cracknell recently noted on the Beeb, only two countries in the whole wide world have "a handle on obesity": Cuba and North Korea!

Some would say that Cracknell's comments are shockingly tone deaf and deeply irresponsible, suggesting, as he is, that the west would do well to emulate brutally repressive dictatorships in order to get the disgustingly fat plebes soiling his view into better-fitting clothes. NotCosmopolitan, which, a few years back, published this delightful guide to dropping the ell-bees via heartless tyranny:

Between 1990 and 1995, thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuban people were forced to alter their entire lifestyles. They couldn't afford petrol, so the government provided them with bicycles. People started walking everywhere. Food was also in shorter supply there were no supermarket aisles stuffed with junk food or wallets stuffed with money with which to buy it.

In short, Cubans could no longer afford to be fat. In that five-year period, they lost an average of around five kilos per person, which is over 11lbs. As a result of people getting slimmer, they also started living longer, with fewer Cubans dying of diabetes and heart disease.

By utilizingthis One Simple Trickradically reducing the quality of life of the people trapped on your island nation and ruled over by a family of sadistic monstersyou too could lose OVER ELEVEN POUNDS! Unfortunately, it's not a short term fix; you need a real commitment to immiseration to ensure that this whole thing works:

All of which is fantastic except it didn't last. When the crisis ended, people started eating more and moving less and putting all that weight back on until, in the mid 2000s, they were right back where they started.

So sad. So very very sad. Ah well; if the Cuban Diet doesn't work for you,Cosmohas another suggestion for burning calories:

Cosmopolitan magazine is under fire Tuesday after itpublished a storyon its website with a headline suggesting a cancer diagnosis was a good way to lose weight.

The story headline, "How This Woman Lost 44 Pounds Without *ANY* Exercise," had the lighthearted tone of a piece dealing with healthy eating tips or calorie-counting shortcuts, but instead profiled a woman whose body image improved after she went through a series of health scares.

Cancer, communism; po-tay-to, po-tah-to. Either way's your window to weight loss!

The Upside of Communism: Hunger! - Washington Free Beacon (blog)

LISTEN TO TLRS LATEST PODCAST:

By Leo Timm, Epoch Times

All throughout 1917, the toils of war and cascading revolutionary activity overturned the Russian Czarist government and established the left-leaning but democratically principled Provisional Government. The new authorities made preparations to hold elections. For the many political philosophies and groups then existing in Russian intelligentsia, it was an exciting prospect.

In March 1917, Czar Nicholas II was deposed and forced to abdicate following major bloodshed in St. Petersburg, then the capital of the Russian Empire. But the vast nation, containing many different cultures and races across about 20 percent of the worlds land area, had never been a democracy and was unprepared to implement a universal, secret electoral system.

By May, the Provisional Government had not been able to carry out an election, and dissent was mounting from all sides. The date was delayed multiple times and public opinion sank further.

After several violent anti-government actions throughout the summer, the radical Bolshevik Party under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin armed itself and mobilized. In their infamous October Revolution, 100 communist militiamen took the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, killing two people, and seized the Russian capital.

As a communist, Lenin despised democracy, calling it a capitalist tool of oppression. Yet to mollify the still-powerful opposition, the Bolsheviks agreed to go forward with elections.

The Bolsheviks would convene the Assembly, but were ultimately unwilling to accept its results. As claimed in one initial report, the proposed Russian parliament must right the historical wrongs and protect the working class from exploitation.

In a speech at the time, Lenins right-hand man Leon Trotsky proclaimed: Long live an immediate, honest, democratic peace. All power to the Soviets. All land to the people. Long live the Constituent Assembly.

There are conflicting reports on whether Lenin believed he would win the elections, or if he and his Bolsheviks were merely feigning support. In any case, their language provided an excuse for the Bolsheviks to later dissolve the Constituent Assembly.

Bolsheviks held power through underground Soviets, or councils of urban workers and soldiers. Lenins dictatorship of the proletariat was incompatible with the proposed democracy.

In November, elections for the Constituent Assembly were held and confirmed the Bolsheviks fears that theythe self-appointed leader of the Russian Revolutionwould not win a popular vote. Bolsheviks won less than a quarter of the total vote of 40 million Russians, losing badly to the Socialist Revolutionaries who had broad support from the peasant masses.

As described by Tony Cliff, a British communist writer, Lenin derided the election results, saying that obsolete laws had given the Socialist Revolutionaries (labelled as right-wing by the Bolsheviks) undue weight.

In the article The Constituent Assembly Elections and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, Lenin expressed his anger with the peasant population: The country cannot be equal to the town under the historical conditions of this epoch. The town inevitably leads the country. The country inevitably follows the town.

When democracy worked against the Bolsheviks, Lenin turned to violence. According to Cliff, revolution and the struggle between capitalist and proletarian forces boiled down to counting the machine guns, the bayonets, the grenades at their disposal.

The Bolsheviks were rejected by the rural peasants, but they gathered a large following among urban workers and soldiers who had deserted from the ongoing fight against Germany in World War I. Lenin and his political party had the military force to take power.

The Russian Civil War is readily understood as a fight between socialist Red and conservative White Russian forces, but this mischaracterizes the nature of the conflict and its participants. Tens of millions of Russian peasants, opposed to Lenins dictatorship, were the most numerous among victims in a war that by some estimates killed over 12 million people, or more than all combat deaths in World War I.

Bolshevik economic policies, or war communism, starved millions of people in the Russian countryside when their grain was seized. And after the civil war, millions more were fated to perish in the brutal projects of Lenins successor, Joseph Stalin.

How Lenin's Bolsheviks Brought Communism to Russia - The Libertarian Republic

There are many reasons that contribute to communism being the most pragmatic solution to the crises of world poverty, war and climate change.

Father of Economics Adam Smith has been accused of saying that individual ambition serves the common good. What this is often interpreted as is the notion that whatever is done in greed at the hands of the corporate overlords, is somehow good for the wage slaves. As if!

However, the soul of this statement isnt necessarily a fallacy. What is good for the individual is good for the group, provided that the individual strives to work for the common good.

As my dear colleague David Jenkins would say, the left is divided between moral high ground and the freedom to choose for yourself.

In the a capitalist democracy versus the communist democracy, the two are at different rankings in regards to importance; though both are very important in both.

For one person to be rich, another must be poor. No person is worth more than another. No one deserves more than another. No one should have the power to make another starve.

If such a power is given, the greediest people among us will use it to bleed people, institutions and the environment until these things are left empty.

This is the simple explanation for why capitalism has failed again and again.

For those who say that communism should not be attempted because it has never been successful, capitalism has never been successful except with some degree of socialism.

Communism has not yet been successful because there has been some element of capitalistic greed.

Therefore, it is pragmatic at first to strive for the moral high ground and make personal freedom second banana until materialism as a concept is wiped from the human psyche.

After this point, people would understand that they are morally responsible for the well-being of their neighbors and always choose that which is morally just.

German philosopher, economist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx was filled with rage at seeing the surplus that was made and thrown away day after day in capitalist Europe; but this is also precisely what gave him hope.

If corporate America would stop creating false scarcity by throwing out goods that are not sold, the environment and society would experience less of a strain.

If production of luxury goods were halted and the manpower, time and resources were allocated toward things that were necessary we would without a doubt have a surplus of things that people actually need.

Giving children clothes; the hungry food; the homeless lodging; is much more valuable than the illusion of personal choice.

Communism is the most pragmatic solution - Talon Marks (subscription)

One of Americas most prestigious universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has published a pro-communism book that teaches children in the United States to yearn to be free of misery of capitalism and embrace the new communism.

MIT Press one of the most prominent university publishers in the U.S. is publishing the book titled Communism for Kids that instructs American youth to shun the economic system that has made their country the most powerful economic force on the planet and embrace a system that has resulted in poverty and millions of deaths worldwide over the past century.

Communism good, capitalism bad

The books propaganda tells of the wonders of communism and villainizes capitalism in a fairytale setting so that Americas youth are led to believe that the former will end oppression, inequality and suffering.

Once upon a time, people yearned to be free of the misery of capitalism, the promotion of the book begins, according to WND. How could their dreams come true?

Children are led to warm up to the idea of communism in the book written by German author Bini Adamczak via a series fairy tales, which teach the Karl Marxs tenets.

Adamczak reportedly specializes in political theory and queer politics, WND informed about the author of the book that has been translated by Jacob Blumenfeld and Sophie Lewis. His thesis is that communism is not that hard, but has not been implemented in the right way.

The author attempts to repackage communism and sell children a new brand of the failed economic and social system of government.

This little book proposes a different kind of communism, one that is true to its ideals and free from authoritarianism, the jacket description reads, according to Amazon.com. It all unfolds like a story, with jealous princesses, fancy swords, displaced peasants, mean bosses, and tired workers not to mention a Ouija board, a talking chair, and a big pot called the state.'

Animation, euphemisms and scare tactics are all reportedly used to sway American youth to start a communist revolution.

The book uses cartoon drawings of lovable little revolutionaries to help convince kids of the evils of capitalism, WND pointed out.

MIT Press attempts to disarm American parents, educators and children to create a new openness to a communist form of government.

Offering relief for many who have been numbed by Marxist exegesis and given headaches by the earnest pompousness of socialist politics, it presents political theory in the simple terms of a childrens story, accompanied by illustrations of lovable little revolutionaries experiencing their political awakening, the university publisher states, according to Amazon. Before they know it, readers are learning about the economic history of feudalism, class struggles in capitalism, different ideas of communism, and more.

Breaking young Americans in to communism

The new childrens title reportedly discounts the many dangers and failures of communism as witnessed over the past century across the world.

The book lays out various approaches to communism, all of which fail, The Washington Free Beacon reports. However, Communism for Kids ends with the message that class warfare could still lead to a better world."

MITs new title is already extremely popular with Leftists even though the system it promotes is responsible for mass genocides over the decades.

The book is currently the number one new release in the "Communism and Socialism" category on Amazon, the Beacons Elizabeth Harrington informed. Communist regimes have killed approximately 100 million people over the past century.

Politicizing

With Leftists still in dismay over President Donald Trump beating their Democratic champion Hillary Clinton, liberal novelist Rachel Kushner insists that American children really need this book now.

"Communism for Kids, by Bini Adamczak, is in fact for everyone, an inspired and necessary book especially now, a moment when people feel that we are on the verge of the destruction of the world, and without any new world to hope for, or believe in," Kushner shared on Salon.com, which notes that she is a fan of revolutionary themes and often scares male critics. "Have 200 years of capitalism brought us freedom? Or just more inequality than has ever been experienced by humans on earth?"

She argues that people who stick to capitalism are enslaved to it.

"Global capitalism is not human destiny it merely is," Kushner contended. "To think beyond it, with the help of Adamczaks primer, is to take a first step toward freedom, at least the freedom to imagine other worlds."

MIT says its newly published books opens up minds young and old to freethinking and a new sense of social and economic liberty.

At last, the people take everything into their own hands and decide for themselves how to continue, the publisher concludes on Amazon. Happy ending? Only the future will tell. With an epilogue that goes deeper into the theoretical issues behind the story, this book is perfect for all ages and all who desire a better world.

Reviews tell it all

Communism for Kids, which Amazon is selling for $12.95, received approximately 60 customer reviews so far, and the comments have not been kind for the most part, as the 101-page book received an average rating of only two out of five stars.

However, it currently appears on Amazons top-five bestsellers lists in the Government category (ranked fifth) as well as on the Communism and Socialism category, where it has fluctuated between first and second place.

Even though some Leftist reviews remarked that the childrens book makes Marxism cool again! many who posted submissions last week gave it a one out of five rating and used their comments on Amazon as buyer beware warnings, as seen below:

This is really embarrassing, wrote Chad and Kristen. Please, if you're going to propagandize, at least don't mislead our children. Communism has killed more people than all the wars in history combined.

Another reader took the opportunity to warn children and parents.

Children's books are written for the naive, of course, but this one was also written BY the nave, wrote JoeQPublic. While done in a cutes-ey style, the book is idiotic and almost unreadable. Its timing is ironic, given that Venezuela is currently melting down even as the book releases, another country fallen victim to the very economics pushed in this book. And lest we forget, 2 million people have starved to death in the past decade in North Korea, the world's last fully Communist state. Many of the dead were children. This ideology has murdered or starved over 60 million people how about we don't pass the virus on to the next generation?

One reader noted the irony behind selling the book on the website.

If communism is so great, why are they selling the book? long time IT guy asked. Isn't that capitalism?

One reviewer used personal experience to denounce the book.

I grew up in communism and believe me, the idea of communism will never work, commented B. Lszl. This idea is based on mass murder. I was a kid and I know what communism [is] for a kid. My family didn't do anything against [the] regime, and this is why they w[ere] not killed, just imprisoned and abused every day. The police br[oke] into our home every week and made a mess and br[oke] our stuff just for fun. And this is communism. Communism for Kids is simply: you have no right to have dreams. No matter what talent you have, you will do what Party order[s] you. You cannot study, you cannot choose ... you have to obey.

Another parent reader was livid about the books promotion in the public schools.

What a disgrace I'm assuming this is sold as fiction? asked Jacob Emery. I'm willing to bet public schools and teachers unions buy every copy of this book. If my kid ever brings this home

One reviewer appealed to history to justify her condemnation of the book.

[E]very time someone says they 'perverted the theory', or that 'this is true communism', I load my gun and hide my wallet, commented Cliente Amazon. Communism is social CANCER. It was made to fail, it was designed to be perverted. If you think a government should have enough power to take people's possessions and 'redistribute them', congratulations, you've just supported an autocratic dictatorship, as it ALWAYS HAPPENS, EVERY TIME AND EVERYWHERE IT WAS IMPLEMENTED. The conclusion is simple: with pretty soft talk, with good looking images [not in this case, btw], a politician tries to amass enough popular support to get into power. After that he will NOT fulfill any of his promises [or at least will do it until the money ends] and will install a crisis, which in turn will justify the increase of his executive power until he becomes the state. This story repeated itself DOZENS OF TIMES. But 'the theory was perverted'.... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!

Another used semi-serious humor to prove a point against the problematic book.

I'm pleased to see the cover of this book contains pictures of children smashing things with hammers, wrote Rich Peacock. It is reminiscent of the time Chinese Communists trained school children to kill their bourgeois teachers and a number were beaten to death.
