Looking back on the horror that unfolded in countries like Russia and China when communists took power, we console ourselves that it couldn’t happen here. But it could and will, if it is up to some of the new crop of Democrats.

The Washington Free Beacon shines a light on Chris Rabb, who has called for the death penalty for corporate CEOs:

“The gangs some of the above culprits lead are far more devastating to a much broader and larger group of Americans than the Crips or Bloods ever will be. So, they’ve got [sic] be taken down on behalf of hard-working, tax-paying American families,” wrote Rabb, a socialist running for the open House seat in Pennsylvania’s Third Congressional District, one of the most Democratic districts in the country.

Rabb won the Democrat primary in this white minority Philadelphia district.

By “above culprits,” he is referring to the heads of corporations. Rabb doesn’t like it that they make so much money.

“I’ve changed my previous stance in opposition to the death penalty and now think that it should be administered more frequently and swiftly than ever,” added Rabb, the founder of the activist website Afro-Netizen.

Just not against criminals.

Other Rabb positions that have endeared him to progressives are direct cash payments based on race, abolishing ICE, socialist grocery stories, and a “Palestinian right of return” that would eradicate Israel.

Rabb recently called to “free” Mumia Abu-Jamal, a black nationalist who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981, the Washington Free Beacon reported. If elected in November, Rabb’s district will encompass the street corner where Abu-Jamal killed Faulkner.

This is comparable to having Rabb’s fellow up and coming Democrat, the obsequiously pro-Islamist Brad Lander, represent the site where the World Trade Center once stood.

“Evil people always support each other,” said communist gulag survivor Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. “That is their chief strength.” This wouldn’t surprise him:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and fellow “Squad” members Summer Lee (D., Pa.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), and Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) endorsed Rabb, as have Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) and 2028 presidential hopeful Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.). And Rabb has campaigned with Hasan Piker, the extremist social media influencer who has praised Hezbollah and said that “America deserved 9/11.” …

Piker recently said Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO who was allegedly murdered by Luigi Mangione, was guilty of “social murder,” a Marxist concept that blames capitalists for social ills that befall the working class.

Imagine a government run by Luigi Mangione, and you can see how communists have managed to run up such a high body count.

If they manage to get Mangione off, he might exploit his rock star status among moonbats to follow Rabb into politics. He would fit right in with a list of rising Democrats that includes James Talarico, Mai Vang, Brad Lander, Graham Platner, Maureen Galindo, Shelby Campbell, and Raymond Chandler.

On a tip from Jester.

It would be hard to overstate the sheer vileness of the upcoming crop of Democrats. Consider their candidate for US Senator from Maine, Graham Platner.

In response to a video of an American soldier being shot four times by the Taliban, Platner posted the following on Reddit in 2019 — via Magdi Jacobs of the Editorial Board

“This video never gets old. Dumb motherf***er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible sh** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

The context:

The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.

Imagine how much you would have to hate this country to put people like Platner in charge of it.

The Maine Monitor has the complete collection of his reddit posts:

The collection spans more than a decade — from when Platner was ages 24 to 37 — and provides a rare glimpse into the thinking of a candidate at a time when he betrayed no political ambitions and could not have known how future voters might have viewed his online commentary.

Platner stated outright at age 37:

“I got older and became a communist.”

He offered the following advice to women to prevent being raped:

“Holy f***, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f***ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for f***s sake.”

This from the guy who blames being drunk for getting a Nazi tattoo.

Considering the tattoo, no one will be surprised that Platner has referred to Israel’s self-defense against Hamas as “genocide” — a favorite talking point of the hard left and horseshoe right.

Twitchy asks regarding the Reddit revelations:

How is this not enough for Democrats to realize this is a bad guy?

Oh, it’s more than enough. That won’t stop them from voting for him.
