"Commonism" Replaces
Communism
New Name, but Same Subversion
Washington, DC - The new buzzwords in vogue include global commons,
global village, environmentalism, interconnectiveness and other terms
designed to suggest that the earth must be seen as a single unit in need
of a global government.
In reality, says Tom DeWeese in the November issue of The DeWeese
Report, published by the American Policy Center, "Commonism" is
the new name of Communism. "Commonism advances the idea that problems
cross national and local boundaries. In that way, natural and political
boundaries are conveniently overcome through treaties, legislation and
policy statements, all explained as necessary for improvement of the
common good."
DeWeese, president of the Center, a grassroots, activist think tank,
issues a warning in a lengthy expose of the new face of Communism. Citing
the President's Council on Sustainable Development as just one example,
DeWeese quotes its own statement of purpose that binds together more
environmental protection with greater opportunity for the poor and
disadvantaged. The program, "mysteriously transforms itself to engage
in racial, economic and equality issues."
The Council and the programs it advocates, says DeWeese, are
"nothing more than a methodology to render local or state elected
officials incapable of making development and other decisions for their
communities and constituencies."
Reviewing the recent history of the fall of the Soviet Union and the
Berlin Wall, DeWeese warns that the so-called "death" of
Soviet-style Communism "allowed the movement to free itself from its
negative baggage. As long as the title 'Communist' was not hung around
their neck to raise Western fears, the ideas of International Socialism
could move forward unhindered."
The chosen instrument for this is the United Nations whose September
Millennium Summit signaled its transformation from "an international
organization of sovereign nations to that of a global government."
This is the true face of "Commonism"
as the UN seeks to assert control over the "global commons."
Other examples cited include the effort to meld European nations into an
organization that supercedes their individual sovereignty.
Citing NAFTA and GATT documents, DeWeese
notes that they are "literally indistinguishable from the
agenda" set by a series of 1980's international commissions headed by
dedicated Socialists to establish common regulations, common currency, and
a common Socialist agenda. The U.S. has agreed to be a party to these
economic policies.
Commonism, the New Face of Communism
"The double-speak of Commonism has lulled too many" says DeWeese,
but he holds forth the prospect that, just as Soviet-style Communism was
defeated, re-emerging as Commonism, so shall this new manifestation.
"Commonism's greatest weakness is that Socialism doesn't work."
Calling for a renewed effort to confront
the new face of Communism, DeWeese says Americans must fight on four
distinct fronts; education, the right to privacy, private property rights,
and the protection of our national sovereignty.
"Today the drive to get the United
States out of the United Nations is beginning to take hold," says
DeWeese. "End U.S. involvement in the UN and the Socialists will lose
their center of power. Stop them on those four fronts and Commonism, too,
will find its way to the ash-heap of history.
