Bolsheviks Then & Now

“For example, a tourist can secure clear information about the Russian boast that they have equalized the status of women. Their boast is quite justified. Americans do not really treat their women with equality. They do not allow them, for example, to mine coal or to perform heavy manual work on the roads. Such tasks are kept solely for men. There is no such bourgeois discrimination in Russia, and tourists to Russia may observe that this is so. One tourist told me that when he came out of a theater at eleven o’clock at night he saw a group of old grandmothers working in the rain laying blacktop on the roads. As he travels in the train, the tourist may see women swinging their picks in the railway gangs, usually under the supervision of a male foreman.”

You Can Trust The Communists to be Communists – p. 118


It is almost comical in a quaint way to read this paragraph from Schwarz’s 1958 published book. It is quaintly humorous because it is so clearly not true in 2020 and hasn’t been for a very long time here in the USA. We do now allow (and even demand) that our women do the work of men. We treat our women as shamelessly now as the Bolsheviks treated their women in 1958.

I lived with this “equality” myself during the 15 years I worked for a major Airline. When working in a line station there is a good deal of heavy manual labor that had to be done. We were loading and offloading heavy freight, mail, and of course, luggage. While working on the ramp women could not keep up and yet there they were out there trying to be equal with men. It was always a frustration to the conscientious men because it was not as if we could let the women working on the ramp with us take their time. The airlines ran on a strict schedule and if we were responsible for not getting the aircraft out on time we would hear of it from management. Consequently, the men had to do their work and the work of the women on the ramp if we wanted to get the Jet out on time. Women were in no way equal but they were being paid an equal salary and the larger culture could look upon our work and be satisfied with how American women were equal in the same way that Russian women were equal in Schwarz 1958 account.

We continue to lie to ourselves as a culture just as the Bolsheviks did in 1958 that women are equal. We put them in the military where they aren’t equal. We make them Cops and Fire-fighters where they are not equal. We now put them on road crews and in factories where they are not equal. In each case the overall performance of the working unit is lessened so that we can pursue the same nonsense equality that the Bolsheviks had in 1958 and which the feminist demand today.

Women are not equal to men and men are not equal to women. God did not create women to do the same physical labor day after day, week after week, and year after year that God created men to do. Women are not men with different plumbing and it is an insult to women to suggest they are.

Of course the equality thing here in the West as gone far beyond anything the Bolsheviks might have imagined in 1958. Here we have so much equality that men can become women and women can become men just by their fiat say so. The whole world has become part of the Kinks famous, “Lola.”

“Well, I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola”


Of course all of this is in pursuance to a New World Order where men and women all meet in the hermaphrodite middle were all men are effeminate and all women are Butch.

I already miss the good old days of the 1958 Bolsheviks.
