Arthur Miller Crucible socialist trio of atrocities

Arthur Miller’s play "The Crucible" is an unintentional condemnation of socialism/communism. The Crucible (1953) describes the witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, an event that Miller wanted to use as a metaphor for 1950's McCarthyism. Most theater-goers did not comprehend Miller's intended pro-socialist and anti-capitalist message. Later, the play became a darkly humorous, condemnation of socialism/communism when Miller's naive attempt at propaganda became widely known. http://rexcurry.net/crucible.html

Another well-known play by the same author is "Death of a Salesman." http://rexcurry.net/deathofsalesman.html

In his 1996 article "Why I wrote The Crucible: An Artist’s answer to Politics" Miller never mentions that no one was ever killed by McCarthy, though the greatest slaughter that ever occurred was in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the People's Republic of China, and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, the Khmer Rouge and by people like Stalin, Mao, Hitler. That was followed by Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge and others. That slaughter by socialists/communists occurred during McCarthy’s life, and continued to be committed after "The Crucible" was written.

The following from R.J. Rummel's article in the Encyclopedia of Genocide, 1999): (1) Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, ~60 million deaths, 1917-'87; (2) People's Republic of China, ~50 million deaths, 1949-'87; (3) National Socialist German Worker’s Party, ~20 million deaths, 1933-'45;

Compare that with the Salem Witch Trials (19 deaths?) or McCarthy (zero?). http://rexcurry.net/socialist-vampires.html

McCarthy was no libertarian. As a U.S. Senator, McCarthy did more damage promoting socialism then did Miller. During McCarthy’s term, federal socialism grew, and McCarthy made no effort to end the social security scam, to reverse F.D.R.’s massive socialism, to end government schools, or to reduce the federal government. In comparison, Miller wrote famous plays in which socialist/communist propaganda is so vague it is invisible.

Miller doesn’t fault McCarthy for the growth of federal socialism. Miller faults McCarthy for persecuting fellow travelers and useful idiots (like Miller?) for the world’s socialist trio of atrocities. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.jpg

Miller’s play depicts trials wherein children accuse adults of evil abuse in furies of fanaticism and paranoia.   Similar scenes are replayed a million-fold in historic documentaries about the cultural revolution under Mao in the People's Republic of China, about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and about other socialist and communist countries and their modern witch hunts for non-communists.

Miller was interested in the tragedy of people who, under social pressure, lose their integrity. The Crucible explores this theme in the context of the Salem witch trials. Many citizens of Salem lost their sense of decency and community when they went along with the crowd to continue persecution of the innocent.

The crucible of communism replayed such tragedies millions of times in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the People's Republic of China, and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party before and after 1953.

Today, Miller’s play is used in classrooms to impeach McCarthy, and not to expose the real-life show trials and mass-slaughters of millions under the U.S.S.R., Communist China, and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party by socialists and communists.   The play “The Crucible” should be renamed “The Crucible of Communism.”

*************

Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote about the "civil religion" that inspired the French Revolution and the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, ~60 million deaths; People's Republic of China, ~50 million deaths; National Socialist German Worker’s Party, ~20 million deaths. In Rousseau's profane brain religion is “a purely civil profession of faith of which the sovereign should fix the articles, not exactly as religious dogmas, but as social sentiments without which a man cannot be a good citizen or a faithful subject.” He added, “It [the sovereign] can banish from the state whoever does not believe them — it can banish him, not for impiety, but as an anti-social being, incapable of truly loving the laws and justice, and of sacrificing, at need, his life to his duty. If any one, after publicly recognizing these dogmas, behaves as if he does not believe them, let him be punished to death: he has committed the worst of all crimes, that of lying before the law.”

The Rousseauist dogma of the “civil religion” was the theology of the socialist Wholecaust. Francis Bellamy, an American proponent of Christian Socialism, boosted the same vision through his Pledge of Allegiance and as a daily religious ritual in government schools (socialist schools). http://rexcurry.net/pledgespeech.html

Compare Bellamy's bloviating to those he inspired later in the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/filmrev-triumph-of-the-will.html

**************

Many people marveled at Adolf Hilter's "hypnotic" powers of propaganda, as if he was the first of his kind as head of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Adolf Hitler's propaganda had already been pioneered by Francis Bellamy, Edward Bellamy and American socialists. Francis Bellamy's original Columbus Day program was a blueprint of nationwide propaganda for socialism in government schools. They put government flags over schools, in classrooms and everywhere.

They even put flags (and chanting to flags) in churches in another eerie parallel followed decades later by socialists in Germany.
