The dangers of the Communist silence

We live in the Information Age. While there are still restrictions on freedom of expression, we have never been so connected, with access to the news, power to contribute and comment.

The strategy of the communist revolution which was previously perceived by your direct coercion between entities of power and  the “dominated” now in the information age needs to be renewed, since citizens are not merely passive agents, on the contrary, can organize themselves as opposition and resistance.

In an article published in 2006, Brazilian journalist Diego Casagrande wrote the timeless text:

“Do not expect tanks, rifles and siege. Do not wait concentration camps and radio stations, TVs and newsrooms occupied by agents of suppression of freedom. [...] Do not expect the regime officials in green uniforms and red starlet circulating in the cities. Do not wait because you will not find, at least for now. The communist revolution [...] has not historically known face. It is quite different. It is silent and sneaky today.”

So what’s the strategy?

In societies where social transformations occur, where large groups are organized in trade unions, political parties or even in social networks, the revolution happens in seeking consent of these groups. Exactly. You need to “join the enemy” to “gain a new friend.”

The Communist silence in fact is based on the constitution of a moral conscience. It creates a sense of cultural disorder that needs to be repaired, which, when understood (and accepted) by social groups, which become practical action.

In communist revolution, the moral conscience is the idea of ​​”dehumanization” of professional success. Still in his article, Casagrande strengthened:

“This revolution prevents people to dream of a better economic life, because those who grow in life, those who get to have more, stop being human and become a shameless capitalist and exploitative of others. Have is incompatible with being. This is the principle that we are witnessing. Everyone has to believe in these misrepresented values ​​that only hinder the development of people and, therefore, the awakening of a country and a people that should be there in front.”

So, what’s good becomes bad and, according to what Casagrande sees “collectivism in economic output for all ills. Never mind that this model [Communist] has not produced a single nation where their practices have improved the lives of the majority of the population. Instead, it always bogs down to genocide or absolute poverty to almost everyone.”

In modern revolution, there is no seizure of power that is not preceded by a change in mindset. Finally, Casagrande completes and presents the solution:

“Some even complain, but many [...] ashamed to be seen as different. They are not a minority, they are not wrong, but feel so. The silent revolution progresses and the deterrent is fear of what we may think of them. The antidote to the silent revolution? Put the whistle, alert, report, make you think, disturb the silent Stazi agents. There is no silence that resists the noise.”
