Lady delivers one of the clearest breakdowns of modern political radicalism I’ve heard in a long time.

Wow. I don’t know who she is but she’s talented as hell.  She explains that communism has always sold the same simple, seductive pitch to young and idealistic people. It sounds good. It never works. Russia, the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, etc. She draws the exact historical parallel that exists today: – The Mensheviks were the mainstream, more moderate left of their day (think regular Democrats). – The Bolsheviks were the radical faction that treated the larger party as a Trojan horse. They entered it, radicalized it from the inside, and eventually seized control. That tactic is called entryism.

Today’s Democratic Socialists of America are running the same playbook. They are not simply “progressive Democrats.” Many openly state their goal is to dismantle American institutions and Western civilization from within, using the Democratic Party as the vehicle. The free-stuff messaging is the bait but institutional demolition is the goal. History is cyclical. And she’s right…the only way we stop repeating it is by teaching people what actually happened in the past. Watch the whole thing.

Smart Woman: “Communism I think communism sells. It’s such a simple idea and message. It obviously doesn’t work at all, but it’s something that you could so easily say to a young, naive college person or young person in general. You can say everything should be free and healthcare should be free and universal and education should be free, but people don’t really understand the ramifications behind that statement. So, I mean, this is nothing new. People have been trying to sell the idea of socialism and communism for years and years and years. I mean, obviously in pre-Soviet Russia, you had communism.

That’s where a lot of it started. You had the Mencheviks and the Bolsheviks. And the Mencheviks were kind of like your mainstream run-of-the-mill Democrat. And then you had the Bolsheviks. This was way back in like the 1800s, 1900s. And the Bolsheviks came in. They were kind of like the DSA activists of today. And they said, ‘Well, the Mencheviks and the Democrats aren’t being radical enough, and they aren’t promising you all the things that we’re promising you. We can give you free education and universal healthcare and all these great things,’ and then they never deliver. So that happened back in the day.

It’s just like a recurring ideology. History is a big fat circle and it’s happening again because it’s such an easy thing to sell but it’s never worked. Didn’t work in Russia or the Soviet Union or China or Venezuela. Communism never works but it’s such an easy idea to try to convince people to vote others in with. So, I hope that people read because those who know history do not repeat it. So, we just have to teach kids why it doesn’t work.” Shirley: “What does it mean to be a part of the DSA and be a democratic socialist?

What’s that actually mean?” Smart Woman: “So, DSA is the Democratic Socialists of America and it’s very, very scary. And the Democratic Socialists of America, they are using the Democratic wing of politics to Trojan horse all of their ideas through. But they’re very different than mainstream Democrats. What these Democratic Socialists of America want to do is usher in communism and destroy America from within. And I’m not being dramatic when I say that because there are many DSA members who are online all over X, you can look it up, saying,

‘We want to take down the American Empire from within. We want to destroy Western civilization.’ They’re vastly different from the left. They want to destroy all of the institutions that we hold near and dear here in America. They basically want to root out everything that our founders worked so hard to build and start again just like the Bolsheviks did way back in the day. Repeating cycle. It’s terrible.”
