Infringed

 

One person’s rights cannot interfere with another’s.

“In talking about human rights today, we are referring primarily to the following demands: protection of the individual against arbitrary infringement by other individuals or by the government; the right to work and to adequate earnings from work; freedom of discussion and teaching; adequate participation of the individual in the formation of his government. These human rights are nowadays recognized theoretically, although, by abundant use of formalistic, legal maneuvers, they are being violated to a much greater extent than even a generation ago.” Albert Einstein.

“Trans rights are human rights.” “Black lives matter.” “Affirmative action.” “LGTBI+ rights.” Worker’s rights.” One person’s “rights” cannot supersede another’s rights. One person’s rights cannot negate the rights of another individual. A “right” is to be equally applied. No one can demand special dispensation in the application of his or her rights. Yet that is exactly what the left demands. Arbitrary application and acknowledgement of special privileges to those deemed favored by the mob. The oppressed vs. the oppressors. The aggrieved vs. the subjugators. The have-nots vs. the haves. Poor vs. rich. Black vs. white. It’s getting hard to keep track of all the aggrieved classes.

Each victimized class has one thing in common; They blame everyone but themselves for whatever woes they believe are afflicting them.

·         Reparations are demanded by African Americans for slavery that none of them endured, to be paid by those who never participated in that evil.

·         Taxes are demanded to combat climate change from countries that have reduced emissions exponentially, while China and India, that pollute with impunity, are exempt.

·          Mentally ill persons who engage in the fantasy of gender reassignment demand acknowledgement of chosen pronouns and acceptance of their delusional behavior. And virtue signaling leftists advocate for trans rights.

·          Affirmative action was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, so the left infuses DEI into the nation’s consciousness, disregarding merit and skill.

·          Entrepreneurs invest time, money, and talent, risking their finances to create wealth, products, and jobs while the Democrat Socialists of America advocate to redistribute that wealth in a fairer and more “equitable” manner.

The Marxist playbook uses the same tired strategy that demonizes those they oppose and pits person against person. Marxism destroys unity and fosters an environment of distrust. As long as enough people fall prey to ideology of hatred of their fellow man, Marxism can grow and thrive. And it has gathered quite a throng of believers. What was once a discredited ideology has gained traction among the 18-25 demographic. This newfound popularity helped elect an Islamist-Communist as Mayor of New York City and other avowed Marxists have defeated several long-tenured democrat representatives in Ohio, Colorado, and California. In Wisconsin the leading democrat candidate for Governor is a self-proclaimed Marxist-communist.

This societal drift has been enabled due to the apathy on steroids that has gripped the nation. Social media, with algorithms that rinse and repeat your favorite viewing patterns, has become the primary source of “news” for many people. Some are more interested in the rantings of influencers than paying attention to what really matters. For Marxism to thrive, the masses must be distracted from the priorities that enable a free society to survive. For communism to take root, God must be eliminated from the equation. For freedom to be destroyed, envy, one of the seven deadly sins, must be embraced by the populace. Accepting the premise that taking what is not yours and that which you did not earn, fuels the engine of “democratic socialism.”

A right relationship with Jesus Christ must be first and foremost in our lives. Living a life following Him will emphasize what matters most. Loving your neighbor will enable each of us to value our human rights without denying other people’s rights. My rights are no more important than any other’s and if imposing my rights on others violates their rights, I am in the wrong. Marxism will violate the human rights of those deemed subordinate, productive members of society, by the proletariat. Marxism is real. Marxism is here. Marxism will take over if we fail to awaken from our slumber. Marxism can be stopped and relegated to where it belongs, the trash heap of history.

We can make a statement this November. We can choose to reject the leftward lean of the democrat party. It is up to us to defeat Marxism. You can choose to be part of the solution, or you can sit by and let this nation fall. What say you?
