The Democrat Party's Urgency To Reach A New Incarnation Of Socialism

 On July 20, 1944, a group of morally outraged German military officers led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in a plot known as Operation Valkyrie. The primary motivation was their growing disillusionment with Hitler's leadership, which they believed was leading Germany to catastrophic defeat in World War II. Many of these officers, part of the German resistance, were appalled by the regime's atrocities, including the Holocaust, and saw Hitler's reckless military decision such as the disastrous invasion of the Soviet Union and refusal to retreat from untenable position, as evidence of his incompetence. They feared that his continued rule would result in Germany's total destruction and sought to kill him to seize control, negotiate peace with the Allies, and restore some semblance of moral governance.

On July 14, 2025, far-left and totally irrational State Representative Josh Elliott, supported by far-left and totally irrational State Senator Saud Anwar announced Rep. Elliott’s candidacy for governor of Connecticut, challenging incumbent Governor Ned Lamont in a Democratic primary. Frustrated by Lamont’s vetoes of progressive legislation of affordable housing and pro-labor bills, Elliott and Anwar aim to radically shift the Democratic Party’s direction. They criticized Lamont’s resistance to tax increases on the wealthy and his lip-service to fiscal matters, which they argue neglects the needs of working-class families and underfunded critical services like education and housing. Their campaign was driven by a broader progressive discontent with Lamont’s leadership, which they viewed as too centrist and out of touch with the state’s pressing affordability issues. Both legislators who can more accurately be described as incipient Communists sought to rally support for a vague and far left-leaning platform that is beyond any rational comprehension. However, in launching this challenge, both aimed to force a reckoning within the Democratic Party, hoping to either defeat Lamont or push him toward bolder reforms.(https://www.courant.com/2025/07/14/ct-state-rep-josh-elliott-says-lamont-should-retire-what-to-know-about-the-candidate-for-governor/)

 Welcome to 2025, and the updated version of a Socialist manufactured political coup. Using the time-honored method of destroying the leader as was done in Nazi Germany eighty years ago, disgruntled and irrational far-left politicians have decided they need a regime change and they need one right now, even if it means assaulting the leadership of their own venerated Democrat party.

But first, we need to understand Socialism. What is Socialism, and why does the new Democrat Party at all levels of government seem to love it so much? And why has this passionate desire for full-blown Socialism accelerated in recent days? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Socialism as “any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, a system of society or group living in which there is no private property, a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state."  If one reads Marxist theories, Socialism is the changeover period from Capitalism to the acceptance and approbation of Communism leading to the destruction of private property and business ownership and the eradication of all personal freedoms.

But what has caused this race to the gutter? Like Hitler’s aides, the new and disgruntled Democrat Party of 2025 has seen a massive changeover to younger and angrier politicians hungering to take over the party and mold it into a new and even more enfeebled mirror of its recent failed Biden Presidency since the defeats of 2024. They are creating this latest look party with a renewed, radicalized hatred of our country, hate of personal freedoms and hate for the Capitalistic system we currently have in our economy. They are promising everything and anything to get you to vote for them. Whatever you want is for your asking with these new radicals, including but not limited to state run grocery stores, free food, free medical care, free cell phones, free housing, free public transportation (if you don't get stabbed as was seen recently on a Connecticut Transit bus in Hartford), free education, free day care, free school lunches, and much more.  Who pays for these items in a Socialism based system is anyone's guess, other than those proposing these bizarre ideas will never contribute one penny to their implementation. 

Looking in our country, this march to failure continues in many locations, as fellow-traveler states such as California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, we see equivalent irrational aspirants to power prattle on about a Utopia where government pays for all these "free" items promised in exchange for votes, but it is never mentioned that in exchange for these false promises the citizen will never be able to physically protest against any issue or ideology that stands in their way to this Socialist Utopian society.  For example, in ranked choice voting New York City, with (which eliminates one person one vote freedom), an avowed radical Socialist/Communist, Zohran Mamdani is leading the mayor’s race. His platform seems to be barbarically simplistic as he wants to tax the rich of New York City even more than they are now and fund even more "free" handouts for those "in need". New York City has an over $100 billion dollar yearly budget with over 800,000 receiving welfare benefits out of a population of roughly 8.5 million people(https://nypost.com/2024/10/19/us-news/nearly-800k-in-nyc-collected-welfare-checks-last-fiscal-year-most-in-decades/). Will welfare recipients increase under the Mamdani Administration? Mamdani also wants to create "city run" grocery stores. Will shoplifters and thieves be allowed in these "city run" grocery stores as they are in privately owned stores to ply their trade without worry of prosecution? Will there be a city surtax for the food lost due to theft? Will armed guards shoot grocery thieves? Or will the armed guards rob legitimate purchasers to fund their stealing? As impossible as that seems, please bear in mind that no idea is ever too bizarre for these irresponsible panderers.

But as is the usual case, Connecticut tries daily to make its way up to the Big Leagues to play in the Socialist Symphony Orchestra. The first prerequisite is to deeply hate President Donald Trump. At the extreme, disjointed, incoherent and twisted role-model United States Senator Chris Murphy has been bashing the President on a daily basis with little coherent thought being offered in his rants. "Murphy has called Trump’s decision to strike Iran illegal because the president did not seek congressional authorization. “I’ve been briefed on the intelligence — there is no evidence Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. That makes this attack illegal,” Murphy said in a statement in the hours after the attack. (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/chris-murphy-says-clear-trumps-strikes-iran-are-illegal-rcna215794). I am curious if Murphy understands the massive threat to our country that the new Axis powers of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran pose? Didn't both President Obama and Biden play down any nuclear threats by Iran, with Obama helping them by sending cash to this regime? That was perfectly acceptable to the Socialist Senator. Daily, Murphy is making a fool and embarrassment of himself with his incoherent gibberish, and he faces no criticism from the state-run media or seemingly anyone, anywhere in the political universe. As bad as all of that is, this is quite minor in comparison to what unbridled Socialism in government may bring.

Also in Connecticut King Ned Lamont, the unaccountable will be in a Governor’s primary with Communist/Socialist Democrat State Representative Josh Elliott assuming arguendo that the Socialist coup against Lamont does not materialize earlier. As far as Elliott is concerned, here are some notes on what he has done since being elected in 2016; "Rep. Elliott is working to ensure that Connecticut employs quality public health standards by pushing for a requirement that all children in the public education system receive proper immunizations. Rep. Elliott is also dedicated to improving the treatment of Connecticut's incarcerated population. He is an active advocate of banning the use of solitary confinement and has independently championed a bill that will provide certain telecommunication services at no cost. Rep. Elliott believes so deeply that the right to vote is a fundamental feature of government that he has sponsored several bills aimed at efficiently reforming Connecticut’s electoral system. Among these are a bill that would restore voting privileges of formerly incarcerated individuals on parole, and a bill that would implement a ranked-choice voting system, which would allow a voter to rank candidates by their preference. Rep. Elliott pushed Connecticut to be the first state to remove the cost for incarcerated individuals to make phone calls to loved ones. Prior to this Connecticut had the highest cost in the United States for these calls. Studies show a positive correlation between family communication and lower reincarceration rates. He has spearheaded efforts to legalize the use of recreational marijuana, sought to equalize property tax rates, and consistently supported establishing a more equitable tax structure." (https://www.housedems.ct.gov/Elliott/biography). Regardless of this saccharine and irrational blather, Connecticut has declined both socially and economically, with massive crime issues, massive drug problems and excessively high taxes nurturing a poor economic climate. Elliott needs to remember that since he has served over nine years, he has personally overseen a massive increase in spending on the state budget with no results in solving the never-ending problems in the state. This is his record. The fact is that Connecticut still has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities in excess of the venerated “fiscal guardrails” we often hear about. Elliott’s campaign for Governor should scare anyone who believes in personal freedoms and lower taxes. Voters should view his candidacy as a minor-league Mamdani effort with none of the charisma and the pizzazz of Mamdani but with all of the destruction and despair that Socialism brings.

In summation, I know of no "successful" Communist or Socialist country. contrary to how the new Democrat Party in 2025 wishes to portray this brave new world of destruction. In Socialist regimes, one has little to no personal or economic freedom. The new Axis powers of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran have some of the most ruthless and blood thirsty dictators running these countries. But now, we see that the new Democrat Party in 2025 aspires to that same model, as it is going about destroying their long time office holders while hating everything our country stands for. Yet any good Socialist has no problem doing whatever it takes to enrich themselves and their patrons. (Again, just think of Hitler's aides).

There is a need to understand the myths and realities of Socialism. The concept of Socialism is so vile that it even makes twisted, incompetent and failed office holders like Lamont, Andrew Cuomo, or even Joe Courtney look reasonable by comparison. That concept alone should shock any sane adult. Socialism has failed over and over again in our world. We must stop it in our country immediately or the freedom that so many Americans gave their lives for will be lost forever, along with the country itself.Connecticut, like other blue states, sits on a powder keg of an impending Socialist disaster. It is up to us to stop before things become much worse. Enough is indeed enough.
