CCP says, “If you chat on WeChat, then WE can see YOU!”

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.”
