Two things piss me off. Socialism and Communism. Our Constitution does NOT support either and was never meant to. Socialism particularly is on my shit list today. So why do I hate Socialism? Let’s look at the Webster’s definition of Socialism:
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
The Marxist conception of Socialism is phased in to displace Capitalism and be a precursor to Communism. As Vladimir Lenin put it, “The goal of Socialism is Communism.” One of the keys to changing a Capitalist system to Communism is the government control of the school system. The United States Government didn’t always “regulate” the public school system. Until the 1930s, the government only had enumerated powers. During the FDRs Presidency, that changed.
I hate Socialism because it tries to replaces the system that made our country great, Capitalism.
That said, do you know who is teaching your children? I do. I’ve been digging for the poop, so to say. I followed the stink to a name you probably don’t know, which is why I’m bringing her to your notice. Randi Weingarten is the President of the American Federation of Teachers union, or AFT.
Randi Weingarten, elected president of the American Federation of Teachers in 2008, has been president of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), which represents more than 140,000 active and retired educators in the New York City public school system, since 1998. She is also a board member of New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) and a member of the AFT Executive Committee. A vice president of the New York City Central Labor Council of the AFL-CIO, she heads the city Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for some 100 city employee unions. Weingarten serves on a number of boards, including the New York Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH); the Anti-Defamation League, New York Region; the United Way of Greater New York; The International Rescue Committee; The Albert Shanker Institute; and the newly formed Math for America. She is also on the advisory boards of Operation Public Education at the University of Pennsylvania and the Haan Foundation for Children.
Being on so many union boards and committees, is Weingarten looking out for children or unions?
In 2006, children were tested in Europe and America. When Weingarten was confronted with the fact that children of Europe out scored American children, she said, “they [the NYC school board] just don’t want to do the work that’s entailed.” Maybe it’s me, but isn’t it her job to make them do the work required? Oh, that’s right, a teachers union looks out for teachers.
It’s “just about impossible” to fire a bad teacher, says schools chancellor Joel Klein. “We tolerate mediocrity,” because “people get paid the same, whether they’re outstanding, average, or way below average.” One teacher sent sexually oriented emails to “Cutie 101,” his sixteen year old student. Klein couldn’t fire him for years, “He hasn’t taught, but we have had to pay him, because that’s what’s required under the contract.” It’s apparent the teachers unions are not to protect the children.
Weingarten followed in the steps of her mentors Albert Shanker and Sandy Feldman when she stepped up from the United Federation of Teachers union (UFT) and became President of the AFT. To know Randi Weingarten, you need to know her mentors.
Sandy Feldman
Before the age of 17, Sandy Feldman became active in socialist politics and the civil rights movement. In 1958, while working for the Brooklyn College literary magazine, Sandy met and married Paul Feldman. Paul Feldman later became editor of the socialist magazine “New America” and a member of the Socialist Party’s national executive committee. Sandy died in 2005.
Weingarten said, “Those who knew Sandy well knew just how hard she worked and how much she personally sacrificed so others would have “social justice” and economic opportunity.”
Albert Shanker
In college, Shanker was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League and chair of the Socialist Study Club. Shanker became President of the UFT and then the AFT. You can see his priorities with this statement made, “When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.”
In 1989 Albert Shanker spelled it out, “It’s time to admit that public education operates like a planned economy, a bureaucratic system in which every body’s role is spelled out in advance and there are few incentives for innovation and productivity. It’s no surprise that our school system doesn’t improve; it more resembles the communist economy than our own market economy.” Albert Shanker claimed to be anti-Communist, but again as Lenin said, “The goal of Socialism is Communism”, so since Shanker was the President of the AFT at the time, wasn’t it a reflection on him?
We also have to look at the Lefty Phraseology to understand Ms. Weingarten.
Social Justice
The American Federation of Teachers has a tradition of “social justice”. right Mr. Weingarten?
Social justice is a term, generally applied by the left, to describe a society with a greater degree of economic “egalitarianism” through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution, policies aimed toward achieving that which developmental economists refer to as equality of opportunity and equality of outcome.
Economic egalitarianism is a state of economic affairs in which the participants of a society are of equal standing and equal access to all the economic resources in terms of economic power, wealth, and contribution. It is a founding principle of various forms of “socialism”, communalism and cooperative economic organization.
Progressive
Another term to look at when judging Ms. Weingarten, progressive. Ms. Weingarten is known as a “progressive leader”.
“Randi Weingarten” “progressive leader”
Progressive leader invited to WhiteHouse.
“Liberals” today seem ashamed of the label “liberal”. “Progressive” is the preferred term. Liberalism is associated with taxing and spending without limit, and it’s true. So why not be “progressive”? It has a sound of looking ahead or moving forward or onward, when in fact it’s the same old tax and spend liberalism with a new name. So does a shit sandwich taste different if you call it an excrement sandwich?
Progressivism is a political and social term that refers to ideologies and movements favoring or advocating changes or reform, usually in a statist or “egalitarian” direction for economic policies (government management) and liberal direction for social policies (personal choice). Progressivism is often viewed in opposition to conservative ideologies.
There’s that word egalitarian again. I forget, doesn’t it mean Socialist?
In U.S. history, the term progressivism refers to a broadly-based reform movement that reached its height early in the 20th century, generally considered to be left wing in nature. The initial progressive movement arose as a response to the vast changes brought by the Industrial Revolution. Contemporary progressives continue to embrace concepts such as environmentalism and “social justice”.
Randi Weingarten has some great Socialist allies also, like the corrupt ACORN and the George Soros funded Center for American Progress.
“It is unfettered capitalism that created this, the biggest, toughest recession since the Great Depression, and it is unfettered capitalism that is fighting us tooth and nail on healthcare reform,” said Weingarten. The statement says it all. Capitalism is what the founding fathers based our country on. Does this statement mean she has a bias as to what is being taught in school? Are the founding fathers being portrayed as evil white men? Does Ms. Weingarten believe in teaching revisionist history?
Does Ms. Weingarten allow her loathing of Capitalism to influence the class rooms? I’m not sure, but she does allow for indoctrination.

All of this has happened on her watch. What has she said about it? Silence. But when it comes to teacher wearing campaign buttons in the class room, then she speaks out in favor.
In May of 2009, a group of NYC teachers, members of the International Socialist Organization (ISO) and the UFT marched together in New York City, fighting for a “socialist world”. Weingarten, President of the UFT at the time, can’t disassociate with Socialism because she is a Socialist. It’s within the school system.
You Commie libs that read this blog (I get their email), I don’t want to hear your COMMIE LIB CRAP telling me there is no indoctrination in our public school system. Your proof is in front of your face right now. I can see when you open your mouth, it’s full of shit. Weingarten is a Socialist who is in charge of teachers who are teaching our children. I want to repeat Vladimir Lenin’s quote one more time, “The goal of Socialism is Communism.”
Here are two more good quotes to end with.
“Give us four years to teach a child and the seed we have sown will never be uprooted. Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.” — Vladimir Lenin
“Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” — Joseph Stalin
