On the Kulakization of the Deplorables One of the golden threads that connects Leftists everywhere and at every time is their seemingly limitless lust for power and their vengeful delight in the destruction of all who oppose them. In the Soviet Union, the Bolsheviks' appetite for complete and total control was immortalized in their first five-year plan, which called for the collectivization of all agriculture. The problem, though, were the Kulaks: the land-owning peasant, some of whom lived in relative prosperity, others in frugal comfort. They were a stumbling block politically, so they needed to be dealt with. The Soviet program to deal with the Kulaks was progressive. First, they were ideologically isolated and depersonalized. Using the "science" of Marxism-Leninism, they were proclaimed to be counter-revolutionaries and adversaries of the Proletariat. Next, they were systematically demonized: they were bloodsuckers, vampires, and furious enemies of socialism. Having been sufficiently dehumanized, they were next blamed for the economic calamities that were a consequence of the corruption and ineptitude of the Communists: plunderers of the people, profiteers who fatten on famine, hoarders and wreckers. This provided the "legal" pretext for the final stage of the process in which they were targeted for destruction. In the end, the Soviets declared they would "liquidate the Kulaks as a class"; at best they would be dispossessed of their land and deported to labor or prison camps, at worst they would be shot or imprisoned by secret police. If you think the alienated and brutal mindset of the murderous revolutionary could never arise in America, think again. Already in the rhetoric coming from the cabinet picks of Biden falls directly in line with first stages of eliminationist rhetoric that we've seen in the Soviet block, Maoist China, and Chavez's Venezuela. The message is clear: The deplorables are the new kulak. If we permit the Left any quarter in this toxic political action of vilifying half of America, we will see a similar course in our history, with the oppression of those whose only crime is to impede the Left's march toward complete and unassailable political power.
