Last Friday, The Blaze provided you with a first look into Paul Kengor’s soon-to-be released, provocative book published by Mercury Ink, entitled, “The Communist,” which closely examines the life of President Obama’s longtime mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.
After establishing why presidential mentors have, historically, been
of great import and consequence, Kengor goes on to explain how this
devout Marxist actually began his political path as a Republican, often
stumping for GOP presidential contenders on their respective campaign
trails. Of course, especially at the time, the GOP represented the party
of Lincoln while Democrats comprised the Southern racists so reviled by
black Americans.
Oddly, Davis took a turn for the hard-left after being duped into
believing that the racism he experienced as a black youth growing up in
Kansas, and, later on into adulthood, was the product of a diseased
Capitalist system, and that only the Soviet Union had managed to crack
the code of equality, thus creating a racism-free utopia for all.
Yes, you read that correctly. Frank Marshall Davis became a
card-carrying member of the Communist Party U.S.A. after being
successfully indoctrinated by a clever Soviet-led propaganda campaign
that targeted members of the American black community. The former USSR
achieved this seemingly impossible feat by manufacturing what were known
as Potemkin villages (or Potyomkin villages). These stage props were
created to showcase an “ideal” agrarian society flourishing under the
banner of Marxist-Leninism.
In the Potemkin, workers appeared thrilled with their positions in
life, homogeny fostered “tolerance,” agricultural output was bountiful,
and majestic birds soared on high through perpetual skies of blue.
Indeed, on the surface, it seemed Mother Russia had successfully birthed
a picture-perfect existence.
