Why America scares me right now : Mahagathbandhan of Islamism and Communism sweeping the US

There are two extremely important reasons why Indians should always keep an eye on US politics. First, America not only shows the way for the global economy and technology, but it also shows the trajectory that liberalism will take in the years to come. As such, America functions as a kind of time machine: issues that face their democracy today are the ones which will affect us 10-15 years from now.

Secondly, while I do not support every single action of the United States, I believe that the Americans have been a force for good in the world over the last 100 years. America has been a bulwark of democracy and freedom. If America goes down, it is a serious setback for freedom loving people everywhere. One day I would like to see India emerge as the light of freedom in the world, but that day is not now. We cannot bear this enormous responsibility as of 2018; for now the honor of carrying this weight shall remain with the USA.

Which is why, frankly, America scares me right now. In fact, it is beginning to give me nightmares.

Do you know who this is?

Her name is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and she is the official Democratic candidate for the 14th Congressional district in New York. Given how solidly this seat leans Democrat, becoming the party nominee from here means that there is no doubt that she will become a Congresswoman after the November election.

And there is no name hotter in American politics right now than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She is filling arenas with passionate supporters, young and restless. Members of Congress and even candidates for governor are queuing up for her endorsement, practically begging for her to campaign for them.

She’s a “Democratic Socialist.” Her campaign platform is to abolish capitalism. Yes, those are the exact words used by the Democratic Socialists. She plans to abolish capitalism, abolish the border police (ICE), she openly demands that workers take over the means of production and that every single American should be given a job by the US government. Yes, every single American should be employed by the government.

They are not even making an effort to hide the fact that they are Communists. This is their vision of America:

Public Sector 100%

Private Sector 0%

An America where everything from soap to TVs are made by the government. Total abolition of profit (yes… they say that openly too). They are not centrists, they do not seek to temper their views in any way, they are openly and unabashedly supporting Communism.

And in the land of the free, these are the people who are filling out arenas, mostly with young people who treat them as rockstars.

Shit scary.

I always knew that while Bernie Sanders lost out to Hillary, his campaign wasn’t really going anywhere. The outpouring of youth support  for an openly socialist politician was unprecedented in American politics. The genie has come out of the bottle. People like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez are now setting the stage on fire.

The young and college educated in America don’t consider socialism a bad word. In fact, they love it, they yearn for it. The Soviet Union ended 30 years ago. There isn’t a big contemporary example of the failure of Communism in the world around them. And their professors have scrubbed out the massacres of Communism from their college textbooks. This is the golden generation of American Communism. It scares me even to say it. But the writing is on the wall.

Last year, a prominent right winger was invited to speak on the campus of U C Berkeley. He was prevented from doing so by violent leftists who actually set parts of the campus on fire. This is U C Berkeley, one of the greatest universities in the world, burning. Literally.

Do you see how big that fire is? It is nearly two stories high.

That’s free speech on fire, folks. And it tells you what a sick place America has become.

I like to think that India would actually be better than this. Indian academics are mostly leftists, just like in America. But yeah… if violent leftists were trying to burn down a big Indian university, say IIT Delhi, in a huge public spectacle, I would expect some real pushback even from hardcore liberal circles. At least our leftist intellectuals have the sense to stoke the fires in Bastar from a safe distance away. They wouldn’t bring the fire to their own backyard and burn down their own homes and offices.

Not so in America. The left realizes that the monster is now beyond their control. The mob has formally taken over. Not a squeak of disagreement was heard from the American intelligentsia against the effort to burn down Berkeley. There is no option left for them but to submit to the monster now.

Of course, there is a deep economic trigger for why the college educated in America have become Communists. The foremost problem for American youth today is thousands of $$$ in student debt that they have accumulated. The payment could often be as much as $1000 a month. That leaves college educated youth struggling to make ends meet, unable to buy houses or cars. Or even go out on a date. In other words, it leaves them out of the American dream.

Of course, who caused this student debt? The colleges and their left wing professors did, through their endless greed. They flooded the job market with useless degrees, which were financed by loans from the government. Politicians like to hand out money for college … it’s great optics. The economics be damned.

From 2000 to 2018, inflation in the US was 2.09% but college costs rose 5.23% every year or twice as fast. How is a college graduate in the US supposed to eat now?

Of course, the college graduate should be blaming his left wing institution for overcharging him for a worthless degree. But that’s not how the human mind works. Instead, the average college graduate in America today blames capitalism for not being able to make ends meet!

So leftist intellectuals profit both ways. They pocket trillions of dollars (literally) selling useless degrees. And when the kids graduate and have no job, they end up getting angry at capitalism and signing up for the Communist Party their professor was supporting!

This is why Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is so hot right now. And there are hundreds of copycats springing up across the United States. The red storm is coming.

And the red storm is coming hand in hand with the Communists’ allies : the Islamists.

Of course Abdul El-Sayed was neck deep in his work for Muslim Students Association (MSA) and even far left sites like the Huffington Post admit that the “the Muslim immigrants who founded the first MSA chapter in 1963 were sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood.”

In case you don’t know, the Muslim brotherhood is a dangerously fascist and very powerful organization that toppled all those regimes during the Arab spring, leading to even stricter impositions of Sharia law in those countries.

But this stuff does not matter in America today. Among large sections of the American public, the fear of Islamophobia (a souped up version of ‘white guilt’) is now greater than the fear of Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Muslim brotherhood.

That’s how you get Sadiq Khan, mayor of London and poster child of the Leftist-Islamist nexus. Sadiq consulted on the defense of a terrorist who is now serving a life sentence in Colorado for being part of the 9/11 conspiracy. That’s right. 9/11. Not all activist Muslim lawyers are out there defending innocent Muslims who want nothing more than to love their “Mulk” like media wants us to believe. Some are defending 9/11 terrorists also.

The West is going down to this Mahagathbandhan of Communism and Islamism. Of course, we have our historical issues with the West. But we have to care. We cannot deny that our democratic values are aligned with theirs at the moment. If they fall to a mixture of Communism and Islamism, the world will become a really scary place. India, Japan, Israel and perhaps tiny Singapore etc will be left as the only democracies in the world. Would you feel secure in such a world? What is happening there could be happening here soon.
