U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal tries to outdo Soviet censors.

Communists have a long history of hating Christianity.

Look at what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about the Soviet reaction in 1922 to the Christian churches:

The noxious fumes of Christianity were poisoning the revolutionary will. That kind of unity and that way of handing over the [church] valuables were not what the starving people of the Volga needed! The spineless membership of the Petrograd Pomgol* was changed. The newspapers began to howl about the “evil pastors” and “princes of the church,” and the representatives of the church were told: “We don’t need your donations! And there won’t be any negotiations with you! Everything belongs to the government–and the government will take whatever it considers necessary.”

And so, forcible requisitions, accompanied by strife, began in Petrograd, as they did everywhere else.

And this provided the legal basis for initiating trials of the clergy.

Worth Noting: The U.S. Democratic Party eerily alluded to the Soviets’ “Everything belongs to the government” mindset ninety years later with its “The government is the only thing we all belong to” video at its 2012 national convention:

Communists love the COVID police.

Multiple NYPD officers are directed to Queens Center Mall during the 2021 Christmas holiday to enforce COVID vaccination proof mandates!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Joseph Biden is to Antifa and BLM as Joseph Stalin was to common criminals.

Look at what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about Joseph Stalin’s use of common criminals against his political opponents:

And Stalin was always partial to the thieves–after all, who robbed the banks for him? Back in 1901 his comrades in the Party and in prison accused him of using common criminals against his political enemies. From the twenties on, the obliging term “social ally” came to be widely used. That was Makarenko’s contention too: these could be reformed. According to Makarenko*, the origin of crime lay solely in the “counterrevolutionary underground.” (Those were the ones who couldn’t be reformed–engineers, priests, SR’s, Mensheviks.)

And why shouldn’t they steal, if there was no one to put a stop to it? Three or four brazen thieves working hand in glove could lord it over several dozen frightened and cowed pseudo politicals.

With the approval of the administration. On the basis of the Progressive Doctrine.
