Sorry for the double post, just felt like I should maybe add examples because even though it is quite evident to me, people who are less familiar with this will think this is the product of some sort of conspiranoia trip (like I was accused in this thread before lol)
So, a quick example of how much money communists spend on expanding their territory and influencing other countries would be the
Podemos party in Spain. These guys called themselves socialists, according to their campaign they were fighting against the corruption of the 2 party system. They were running to defeat the "casta" which was the allegiance between the rotten political parties and the rich class. They were fighting against injustice, for basic human rights. They were trying to stop banks from evicting good people. They were inclusive: feminists, green, and pro-immigration. They wanted to reform the constitution because it was written centuries ago and didn't represent the will of the spanish people of today. They denied being communists on TV, of course, and elsewhere. They said they were past the right-left dichotomy, they were for the People. Their logo was not the hammer and sickle. Their color wasn't red. This was their flag:
Just normal people right? Right...
To a Venezuelan like me it was obvious these guys were communists and bad news. If you understand communist symbology the first red flag on the pictures above was the raised fist. This is a communist symbol. Every group who does this salute is communist, just as every group who raises the open palm is fascist. And yet people keep believing in the fantasy that the Black Panthers wasn't a communist group, for example, even though their symbol is a raised fist. You might call this just a coincidence but trust me, it isn't. Sooner or later the communist connection is found. The raised fist is easy to see because it is a visual symbol, but other things give them away too. The desire to reform the constitution even when it has been working pretty well for the past 200 years with excuses that "we didn't write it so it isn't good anymore". They kept calling the constitution "wet paper". And this is the thing, in order to progress towards communism laws need to be changed, reform needs to be done, the constitution needs to be invalidated in order to put things in motion. When I hear people talking about things like this with no real cause I know what I am in the presence of.
I hope I dont have to explain how the Black Panthers were communists, but here is what they found about our friends the Podemos party in Spain a couple of years ago:
The 3 top leaders of the party received over 7 million euros from the Venezuelan government and continued to receive funds throughout their campaign. How did they manage to do this if getting funds from foreign countries is against the law? They created a foundation called CEPS which supposedly gave the chavista government in Venezuela counseling. So they received payment for those services in a foundation that supposedly has nothing to do with the party even when it is the exact same people. They also received money from Iran for a TV show they had on a local TV station called Fort Apache.
This was a huge problem of course because you see, Podemos based their entire campaign on the fact that they were just normal people like you and me. They told all their supporters to fund them using paypal through a crowd funding campaign on their own website. They said they werent receiving funds from anywhere else, it was the spanish people who put them there and gave them the money for their rallies etc. Well turns out even the paypal payments were fake. They used the crowd funding mechanism to launder money they received from Venezuela by making the micro payments themselves.
So even when they denied being communists, denied having any connection to Venezuela other than the counseling they did at one point, even when they said their project had nothing to do with the left-right dichotomy, when they said they were working for the People, to bring justice, they were all communists. And they wanted to impose communism in Spain through the socialist method. They didn't fool me, mind you, I was the first journalist to start exposing these things about them in Spain, they didnt fool me because I know from the very start that I had heard those words somewhere else before, from Chavez, who also swore on every TV station he had no ties to Cuba and he wasn't a communist.
Now that Podemos lost the elections, they have less of a problem showing us where their hearts lie, but even before losing there was already all this information about CEPS and even this video going around:
So how, you might ask yourself, can a country be so stupid to continue to support a guy who blatantly lies to them, who is an obvious communist, who received 7 million euros from Venezuela, who sings the International hymn holding the communist flag? How can people still support him and claim he isn't a communist?
It is very easy to dupe people who want to be duped. Even when others would show their supporters videos like this I posted above, or give them all the evidence that they wanted to impose a regime like Venezuela's or Cuba's in Spain, they would insist he wasn't a communist. Their argument was: "we can't be worse than we are right now" or "we need to take a risk! these parties are so corrupt, what do you expect us to do, keep voting for them?" They didn't take the threat seriously. Why? I don't know, ask Jolene why she thinks communism is something to laugh about.
Groups like BLM do exactly the same thing, and it wouldnt surprise me to know they are receiving funding from communist organizations or countries as well, just like the Black Panthers did back in their day.
