“Note that Lenin, who is the father of modern communism, equates democracy with socialism and communism. That is – democracy is socialism/communism,” explains author Cornelia Ferreira in the June 4, 2015 VisionLiberty YouTube video titled, “Cornelia Ferreira: The Perestroika Deception Updated.” According to Ferreira, “Bare this equation in mind when you hear Western powers or the UN say that they are going to war against a nation to install democracy in it. This might strike you as an arrogant idea, but it’s more than that. Because what they mean is that they are going to install communism.”

Information which is worth its weight in gold, both sides of the political aisle in the United States today regularly speak of the U.S. in terms of a democracy when in fact the United States was always intended to be a constitutional republic. “Unfortunately, our fellow Americans in that clip are wildly uninformed,” explains White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a March 31, 2025 Fox News YouTube video titled, “Karoline Leavitt responds to buzz about a possible third Trump term.”

“To the first woman’s comments, Elon Musk is not trying to dismantle democracy. Elon Musk, at the direction of President Trump and President Trump’s entire cabinet is trying to save democracy,” explains Leavitt. “The United States of America will cease to exist; our government will fail if we continue to go down the road of bankruptcy that we have been heading on for decades – it is a new day in America.”

Words worth revisiting again until it’s understood that a new day in America is the equivalent to the United States ceasing to exist as we once knew it to be, this “new normal” ushered in by the Trump administration increasingly appearing to be what life would be like under authoritarian rule.  

“And I think this is what every American in this country should be concerned about, the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is an attempt to summarily remove people from this country without any due process at all,” explains Skye Perryman in a March 21, 2025 MSNBC YouTube video titled, “’Be suspicious, concerned’: Democracy Forward CEO warns Americans over Trump deportation policies.”

“And then the doubly concerning problem, and something that should concern every American is the way in which the government has been operating in this case,” warns Perryman. “Suggesting at times that there is a question as to whether it has to follow a district court order from a federal judge.”

The continued disregard for the courts by the Trump administration described by MSNBC as a declaration of war against the American people; the tenants which have traditionally separated America from her enemies are being systematically eroded from within as a full blown totalitarian state is quickly emerging. The return of the same kind of tyrannical rule which initially led to America’s founding in the first place arriving to our doorstep like a salesman attempting to sell us a vacuum that we don’t need.

“Border crossings are at their lowest levels in decades,” explains host Ana Cabrera as the interview with Perryman continues. “The president even posted on social media at one point that the invasion is ‘over.’ So that is just another key piece of the puzzle I think as we are discussing this story and the Alien Enemies Act. There is some new reporting as well in The New York Times invoking this Alien Enemies Act, that the administration believes that this order lets immigration agents enter homes without warrants.”

Reviewing what we’ve learned thus far, Lenin equated democracy with communism. So with Leavitt explaining that the Trump administration is attempting to save democracy in America, what that should actually mean for the average American is that they are attempting to install communism in the United States. The totality of which can be seen in any number of the policies to come out of the Trump administration in the last 100-days alone, to include kidnapping immigrants in broad daylight, denying them their right to due process as they’re shipped off to third world mega-prisons and even entering homes without warrants. And as we’ve just recently learned this week, the Trump administration is even conceding in court documents that they’ve already made mistakes in the deportation process.

“I’m not paid to be here, because I only get paid when I do my job. I don’t think someone is paying attention to their work emails because we called a meeting,” explains Leif Cole in a March 31, 2025 Slingshot News video titled, “’You Know What My Phone Tells Me That’s Called? Treason’: Town Hall Attendee Calls Out Trump Admin.”

“So, I’m going to speak pretty freely here. I’m extremely frustrated with the way everything is,” explains Cole as he addresses a conspicuously absent Representative Jack Bergman (R-MI). “I’ve been reaching out to you for so long, I’ve been calling; I’ve been sending emails. You even rode here today in the car with me today. I was talking to you a lot, but you didn’t answer. So, needless to say I’m feeling pretty frustrated.

“We all have issues; I think so many of these issues have been eloquently stated. We’ve all been making calls; we’ve all been doing things, we’ve been talking to our neighbors - bringing up all of these issues. These issues are coming fast,” explains Cole. “And they’re coming hard and they’re extreme by design. They want us focusing on those small issues so they can push through their agenda behind the scenes. You know how I know this is true? They wrote a book about it. They told us in their campaign speeches. They told us that this would remain bloody as long as we didn’t get too noisy. Again, I’m anti-violence. 

“What we’re doing here is the right way to go about this; I think we’re asking the wrong questions. So I’m going to ask you guy’s some questions. I’m going to ask Jack but he’s not going to answer,” explains Cole. “So feel free to answer with your ‘Yes’ cards or ‘No’ cards. I’m not worried about you making some noise, so if you want to use your voices – that’s fine.

“Jack, do you think that there has been a crime that undermines our government?” asks Cole as the crowd nearly unanimously holds up their ‘Yes’ cards. “Do you think that our president is showing disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior?” asks Cole as the crowd once again holds up their ‘Yes’ cards. “Do you think that there has been an act of deliberate betrayal?” asks Cole as the crowd again holds up their ‘Yes’ cards nearly in unison. “You know what my phone tells me that’s called?” asks Cole rhetorically. “Treason!"

For those able to see the forest for the trees, a truly frightening scenario is unfolding in the U.S. as the vast majority of those in a position of authority remain silent. The Lefts long march through the institutions so wildly successful that an incalculable number of Americans on both sides of the political aisle have been ideologically subverted to the point that they are virtually indistinguishable from one another. Leaving little doubt as to how the United States went from a nation who once went to war to stop the flow of communism in South Vietnam to transitioning into a full blown totalitarian state; the systematic kidnapping of immigrants right off of the streets of America without any due process at all as agents literally enter their homes without warrants is democracy in action. Though one should, “note that Lenin, who is the father of modern communism, equates democracy with socialism and communism. That is – democracy is socialism/communism.”
