Texas and Communism

Post Reply New Topic

Watching the National News concerning Texas . Am seeing Communist type legislation appearing
regarding new laws about abortion . Included in this law is the Paying off of Public informants
for turning in their neighbours and others for reporting Women that have ( post ) after 6 week term abortions. This is a very personal thing concerning women having control of their own bodies .
the Late USSR , had people informing on their neighbours .
But , i believe something else is actually behind this law . Traditionally the larger amount of the women population that have unexpected pregnancies . Are lower income and victims of violence people , i think. So if you make it uncomfortable for these same people to live in your State.
You also influence the people that vote for elected officials . So people with 'the interests' of the lower income population are much smaller in the voting Public. So you also affect the Outcomes of 'all elections' in the State of Texas .

It's totalitarianism, but I fail to see how it's like Communism.

Communism generally tends to be opposed to measures that the make women second class citizens, at least to the extent the society practising it is able to accommodate those ideas. Since most of the places where Leninism was practiced were backwards and deeply patriarchal they often failed to live up to those ideals, but I'd blame that failing on their existing norms, not on the new ones they've attempted to adopt.

Yes, Texas is passing a deeply totalitarian law, but it's much more in line with the what traditionalists and theocrats would prefer, not Communists.

I just looked up the Webster definition of Communism
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communism

Please don't chop my post , and try to address individual phrases or sentences . It was meant as
a entire concept . it is my best knowledge to understand, that in Russia s USSR was a communist based government as a whole of its various States . It is a widely held belief that . That Government
Would would look favorably upon any person that turned in anyone . For breaking any laws of the State . Whether in their home or not. ( to the best of my knowledge) . Texas is enacting a similiar
Law regarding womens bodies . Much more Private to any Woman. Even more so ,than anyones
private property . but this is merely my own conclusions , regarding this posting.

The new abortion law does smack of dictatorships. Including dictatorships that were communist in ideology (there have been other kinds of dictatorships).

In fact it smacks of the kinds of thinga the defunct regime that ruled Communist East Germany would be obsessed with doing- recruiting and rewarding the citizens for informing on you to the secret police.

But what makes a "Communist" regime "Communist" (as opposed to fascist, or whatever) is the creed that motivates the dictatorship. Communist ideology was about achieving equality - the working class rules- and creates a classless society. Its a seductive idealistic vision of heaven on earth. Trouble comes when you try to make it real. To actually implement communist ideals you get Stalin and the worst kinds of dictatorship.

The Texas legislature are capitalism loving anti communists (much like Hitler and Mussolini). So they are not motivated by communist ideals. So its confusing and misleading to call what they are doing "Communism".

Just call it "totalitarianism". Or "dictatorship". Or say that its "like both Communism and Fascism".

Don't worry, Texans are going to be punished soon just like Georgians were over those voter suppression laws. Punished in a way that wont sway the power-grabbing GOP lawmakers one bit but will hurt the average Texan including the women from Texas are pro-choice.
