If I recall correctly (and I may not), early when Obama was in office, Van Jones was in his Cabinet. However Van Jones was so openly known as a Communist that there was pressure and Van Jones had to leave the Cabinet. And where did he end up? Well, he became head of another progressive organization that had an office in a particular office building in New York. And it was the SAME office building as where Occupy America had its headquarters, AND Van Jones‘s office and Occupy America were even on the SAME floor. No way was that a coincidence. I forget what the rest of the background was but I clearly had the impression that Van Jones‘s new job after he had to prematurely leave Obama’s Cabinet was being a coordinator and probably a paymaster for Occupy America. I believe there was another prominent communist agitators group that was also on the same floor.
Another interesting tidbit about Van Jones, when he became a commentator on CNN, they always had a caption that showed right below him when he was speaking, that said “Van Jones, Communist Party” or “Communist Party of America”. I remember being shocked that CNN so prominently featured an openly identified Communist commentator. But they clearly stopped labeling him that way a long time ago. Most CNN viewers have no clue that when they are listening to Van Jones, they are listening to a true Communist perspective.
I just want to add, that I actually respect Van Jones quite a bit. Today he is in the news for suggesting that the NY D.A. may not pursue the indictment of Donald Trump, as it is a weak case. He also made a good succinct point— “History will not judge Donald Trump by Stormy Daniels.”
It seems to me that Van Jones is indeed a dedicated Communist that truly believes in it and believes it would be good for America. There is a sincerity that radiates from him, and (tho many might not like this comment), I believe that that sincerity is an element of spirituality.
I would call him the most articulate and practical thinker among the Communist voices out there. He doesn’t appear to be driven by emotional hate for the right, and doesn’t engage in the self-righteous preening so many other Marxist voices do.
I have sometimes thought I would really like to sit down with him and have a deep discussion about Marxism vs. American freedom. I suppose I’m naive, because he is clearly a profoundly committed Communist, but I really think he is so essentially intelligent that he could be persuaded to realize how very precious and liberating for all mankind our American way of freedom is.
Communication among people is so important. I truly believe honest deep discussions could resolve most of the political divisions we face, and that’s probably why there’s such an extreme effort right now to shut down and avoid those discussions. Even tho such discussions would rarely lead to either side changing their position, I am certain that they WOULD increase mutual respect and establish a degree of brotherhood.
