Two Leftist Fantasies That Collide With Reality

Authored by Kathleen Dynan via AmericanThinker.com,

Many want to live with fantasies that contradict facts as their reality.

But facts can’t be ignored, and we are not required to accept their fantasies as our truth and reality.

Here are two such fantasies: that a man can become a woman or vice versa, and that Marxism is good for citizens of the country.

Let us examine biology and medical science facts to disprove the first fantasy.

Sex chromosomes are packages of DNA found inside most of our approximately 30 trillion cells that have a nucleus. There are two different kinds of these chromosomes, X and Y. When an egg is fertilized, the egg itself always contributes an X chromosome, while sperm can contribute either an X or a Y. Sex chromosomes are the genetic elements that define a person’s biological sex. Females have XX and males have XY chromosomes. Chromosomes themselves are made up of proteins and DNA that carry our genetic information from cell to cell. In addition to biological gender and the resulting reproductive systems, they determine other physical traits, e.g., eye color.

The reproductive systems of men and women are distinctly different. The male reproductive system mostly exists outside of the body. The external organs include the penis, scrotum and testicles. Internal organs include the vas deferens, prostate and urethra. The male reproductive system is responsible for sexual function and urination. The female reproductive system is a group of organs that enable reproduction, pregnancy, and childbirth. It also produces female sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. The system consists of organs and tissues inside the body and some that are visible outside the body.

Medically, it is not possible to transplant reproductive systems into the opposite sex. Drugs and mutilating surgeries change a person’s appearance, but do not change the biological gender.

To dispel a related fantasy, women are physically weaker than men because of a combination of factors rooted in this biology. Women have: less total muscle mass, different muscle fiber profiles, lower testosterone levels, higher essential body fat, and smaller, lighter bones. These differences are significant. In upper body tasks, women produce roughly 56% of the force men do; in the lower body, that figure rises to about 72%. The average gap is real, measurable, and driven by physiology that diverges sharply at puberty.

So, factual biology shows it is impossible for women to successfully compete against the strength of men in physical tasks and sports.

Now, let us look at history to disprove the second fantasy.

The Democratic Socialists of America is claiming Americans’ lives would be better under Marxism. Both socialism and communism are based on the principles of Marxism. The claim is that both are better for citizens than our form of government, a constitutional republic with an economy based on capitalism. But history shows this false claim is just a desperate attempt to seize control of Americans.

They claim Marxism would provide: a classless society; peace for all; and less labor required, meaning more leisure time. They consider the last the true measure of wealth. Capitalism, not any form of Marxism, delivers leisure time. Below are some results of living that fantasy.

Millions more citizens were stripped of all wealth and property, captured, debased and tortured under these governments. If they were able to escape these madmen, citizens fled their homelands.

To date, 11 countries have tried socialism. All have failed.

The sole equality for all was the anguish and suffering of citizens. Only the elites running those governments prospered.

The far left is trying to buy control of us by offering the same eight “free programs” they offered in 2019. These include: Universal Child Care; Guaranteed Income; Reparations to Blacks and Illegals; Affordable Housing; Medicare for All; Student Loan Forgiveness; Free Public College; and a Green New Deal. Their desperate attempt to pretend to have programs for all Americans was and is a sick joke. They can’t ever happen.

In 2019, the total world wealth was estimated to be $360.6 trillion; and the United States’ wealth (assets minus liabilities) at about 29% of that total, $106 trillion. The far left was promising to spend an estimated $81.9 trillion for these “freebies.” That was 77% of our wealth on “free stuff.” Common sense and logic said what facts proved, that none of those would materialize. (2019 Credit Suisse Report) Both wealth and costs have increased in the last 7 years, but that total wealth and costs comparison is still viable.

Unlike Marxist governments, American citizens are represented in our government. Do not let that change in the United States. Marxists can’t improve your life, but history shows they will destroy or end it.
