James Kirkpatrick - VDare: Donald Trump (And American Immigration Patriots) Against The Cultural Marxist Economy - "What unites the Left today is not support for the socialist economic model—government ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange—but a determination to 'put politics in command' (as Chairman Mao phrased it) and leave no public or private sphere to those who do not conform politically. Of course, this is the very definition of totalitarianism."


Donald Trump (And American Immigration Patriots) Against The Cultural Marxist Economy

Donald-Trump[1]

We’d call it Stalinist if that wasn’t an insult to the Communists. Boston Mayor Martin Walsh [Email him]has vowed that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump will not be allowed to build in his city unless he “make[s] some apologies” for criticizing the Mexican government’s policy of exporting criminals to the United States [Boston mayor: Donald Trump unwelcome without apology,by Marie Szaniszlo, Boston Herald, July 14, 2015]. This is simply the latest move by the totalitarian Cultural Marxist Left to impose a political test before Americans are allowed to engage in economic activity. The goal: to make immigration patriotism, or anything else deemed Politically Incorrect, not just controversial, but financially ruinous.
It’s questionable whether Walsh has the legal power to stop Trump. But his behavior is not new: a previous Boston mayor waged an almost identical campaign against Chick-fil-A in 2012 after the CEO expressed his opposition to homosexual marriage. The Main Stream Media was especially outraged because the company’s corporate foundations were donating to pro-family groups.
In one sense, the campaign backfired: Chick-fil-A has actually become the most popular fast food restaurant in the country. But taking the long view, the intimidation campaign worked. Chick-fil-A cut funding to conservative political groups and instead gave to groups like the United Negro College Fund. [Chick-fil-A’s Foundations Dramatically Reduce Anti-LGBT Giving (Updated), by Josh Israel, Think Progress, March 3, 2014]
You can sell your chicken sandwiches, but only if you keep your mouth shut.
The campaign to isolate Donald Trump economically has a similar objective. ...
