Democrats and Communists

infiltrate (Cambridge dictionary):
verb [ I + adv/prep, T ] uk ​ /ˈɪn.fɪl.treɪt/ us ​ /ˈɪn.fɪl.treɪt/
​
"to secretly become part of a group in order to get information or to influence the way that group thinks or behaves."

​or

"to move slowly into a substance, place, system, or organization."

Actually, as for attacking the Democrats or helping them goes, it is a bit of each. CPUSA doesn't want to "take over" the Democrat Party. It wants to use it. And it wants to influence it. So it wants to "help" it win elections in order to have a viable political outlet to spread its agenda. It's like a more intelligent parasite which temporarily boosts its host in order to nourish itself on the stable healthy body until it is matured enough to thrive on its own. It can then discard its host and totally devour it and anything else that stands in its way. Eventually, the hope is the destruction of both the Democrats and Repbulicans, as well as any individualist, classically liberal, freedom loving, parties, notions or movements.

The CPUSA does not love the Democrats, whom it considers too corrupted by corporate money, nor wishes to become Democrats. It simply finds enough similarities, fellow travelers, and leftist trending politics in it and in the intellectual academic and media useful idiots that support it, to suit its purpose. The Republicans and libertarians have nothing to offer it, only total opposition.

The leftist trend of the Democrat Party has been spurred by the Marxist fellow traveler academics (most academicians teaching in the liberal arts) and by the journalists who have been educated by those professors. This has been going on for decades and is now bearing more and more socialist fruit. The total transformation of the Democrat Party into a purely socialist one is the long term aim of the of the Commies. Then, a fully Communist (devoid of errors of Stalinism or Maoism) egalitarian state, which is also devoid of capitalism, will be possible.

More and more Americans, especially the younger generations coming out of Marxist academe, are finding that idea attractive. The infiltration seems to be working.

This is like McCarthy reincarnated, when do the hearings start?

Many of them want 70% marginal tax rates on the wealthy, they want the loans they voluntarily agreed to, to be wiped out, and they want free everything. And many want government healthcare, with no ability to purchase healthcare in the private sector. And many want the government to order that every building/home/office in the country be retrofitted with green technology. And the kids on campus, are demonstrating less and less ability to tolerate dissenting opinions - ask conservatives who try to speak there. That doesn't all add up to heavy socialism?

No one is saying to bring back the McCarthy hearings. But let's show them how terrible those ideas might be.

I grew up in West Haven, just a few houses up from the fire house on Benham Hill Rd. I used to spend a lot of time in that fire station, my friend's dad was a fireman there.

Small world, thanks for your service.

I lived right at the top of Benham Hill. Every time I wandered into that fire house, one of the guys would buy me a bottle of coke from the old fashioned machine, and ask me where the snappers were biting.

From the young democrats? More like borscht on October 25, the anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Borscht, a few packs of smokes, and a few copies of Animal Farm and Chairman Mao's Little Red Book.
