The term ‘Useful Idiots’ was originally invented in Soviet Russia to describe people who, while Lenin and Stalin were committing atrocities against their own people, blindly supported them and their cause out of ignorance.
Today, the term is usually used to describe unthinking proponents of communism and socialism in America and the west. You can usually find them participating in riots to promote tolerance or sitting at Starbucks with their friends discussing how capitalism has been the downfall of America over their $4.00 Grande Caramel Macchiato.
Useful Idiots are mostly brainwashed Marxists, 60′s hippies (now Ivy League college professors), rich Hollywood celebrities, Michael Moore and recent graduates with B.A.degrees in Stupid which they completed in fives years and was paid for by mommy and daddy.
Today, they are participating in the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest. Most of them don’t seem to know why they’re there, but they know capitalism is evil, so why not? Some of them are actually comparing themselves to the protestors in Tahrir Square. I think most of these self-indulgent revolutionary wanna-bees would pee in their pants if they were suddenly dropped in the middle of a real revolution.
The really laughable part is most of them are probably Barack Obama supporters despite the fact that Wall Street contributed more to Obama in 2008 and since than to any other president in history. They also don’t know this whole “protest” is being promoted by the likes of George Soros and the professional left who are just using the ignorant masses for their own purposes.
What these useful idiots don’t understand is the difference between true capitalism, where an entrepreneur risks his own capital risking failure and crony-capitalism where politicians are bought off by big business in return for guaranteed success.
It’s too bad these products of our colleges and universities never learned history. It would have been a lot easier than making the same mistakes of past generations. Unfortunately, there will always be a use for useful idiots.
