Communism is increasingly present in mainstream American Democratic Party politics, with organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) growing. Some openly identify as socialists, distinct from those favoring a Scandinavian model, while others may hide communist intentions behind the socialist label. This ideological trend is seen as a resurgence, despite past efforts to combat communism. Communist and Marxist ideas are reportedly thriving in various American institutions, an infiltration strategy attributed to Antonio Gramsci's "long march through the institutions." This approach advocates for gradual control of cultural and political bodies rather than violent revolution. The goal is to shift public perception so that communism, disguised as socialism, becomes the preferred path. The text highlights a controversy at the Smithsonian Institution as an example of this ideological shift, focusing on inclusivity of slavery and inequality over national achievements. Historically, American communism has roots dating back to the Bolshevik Revolution, with periods of suppression and revival, notably in the 1960s and 70s. International influences, including the Cuban Revolution and figures like Frank Marshall Davis, are also cited as contributors to the American radical left. The rise of socialism within the Democratic Party carries significant investment implications, potentially leading to higher taxes and changes to wealth and assets. Gold and silver are suggested as potential safe havens in this evolving economic and political landscape.
