Is Rep. Rob Nosse a Communist?

Can we find actual communists within the Oregon Democratic Party or the political establishment? Would anyone wear this on their sleeve and admit it?

Yesterday I was browsing Elon’s App, an increasing delusional and sad place, there I stumbled across a tweet from a self-proclaimed lifelong liberal who said they've never met a Communist. “How interesting” I thought. They’re like cockroaches here in Portland: turn on the lights they scatter before you might notice, but if you look for them, you’ll find them everywhere.

Greg Kafoury proudly displays his political affiliations in his office.

Sarah wore her ideology on her dress, but she sure wasn’t shy about explaining “I am Antifa” - Look at how far her career has gone.

I regularly enjoy the stupid shit said at the public forum of Willamette Women Democrats, and on their January 17th meeting it featured Oregon State Representative Rob Nosse and Oregon State Senator Kate Lieber talking about Measure 110.

And the decorations in Rob Nosse’s background sure stood out to me:

Rob Nosse, at what I assume is his home office, where he hangs his Bolshevik propaganda poster and Che Guevara art.

No one within a group like W2D or the DPO or the political establishment would even think it notable to have a communist revolutionary glorified on your wall. It’s sort of like when southern politicians hang a Confederate Flag and they’re earnestly confused why someone would find that offensive. It’s like “Owning a Confederate Flag and decorating my office with Confederate memorabilia has nothing to do with my politics or views on race.” Yeah, we’re all buying that buddy - it’s just innocent iconography.

Edit: it’s come to my attention in the comments that the Bolshevik picture can be read as satire.

Let’s just assume Rob Nosse is the only one.

It’s really a shame W2D meetings aren’t more often recorded and put online. You really get a behind-the-curtain insight into how fucking stupid these people are that are running everything into the ground. For example, after listening to these two articulate dolts ramble for an hour they still don’t have a concise plan to fix Measure 110 - and this undoubtedly means the DPO doesn’t have a plan. After this hour I learned from Kate Lieber that repeal of M110 is off the table, but she emphatically makes it clear that the “promises” and “the funding” can’t go away. Personally, I’m not sure any Oregonians have a real problem with Measure 110, what they have a problem with is rampant criminality and vagrancy - Measure 110 is in that nexus - but if we “fix” Measure 110 it doesn’t matter if we still have rampant criminality, graffiti everywhere, repeat felon psychos pushing kids on to light rail tracks. If we just, uh, locked people up for crime the public concern for Measure 110 would evaporate. I don’t care if there’s a junkie, I care if that junkie smashes in my car window or blights my neighborhood.

Oregon doesn’t have the meritorious capacity to solve/fix Measure 110, or the underlying addiction & mental health crisis. We can’t fund our way out of this problem because the underlying ideas are the disaster - throwing more money at a broken idea solves nothing. The top brass are still thinking “culturally appropriate experience” is necessary to fix this problem, as if you need to grow up on the reservation to understand meth is bad - or more absurd: you must be a recovered meth addict who grew up on the reservation, and no one else is qualified. The “lived experience” imparts wisdom that a Filipino-American nurse simply can’t understand. In the W2D video the two idiots both acknowledge that Fentanyl and Meth crisis is not treatable, that there is no safe way to experiment with these drugs - so why even entertain safe use? No one talked about the Tranq problem, which causes long-term physical ailments on top of the psychosis - and within 5 years a lot of homeless people will be missing limbs. So this whole idea of “harm reduction” is like trying to treat the problem of drunk driving through encouraging people to buckle their seat belts.

But more to the point, even if Pfizer magically created a way to undo the harm of Fentanyl or Tranq, the Chinese would push a more dangerous drug on to the streets. China is pushing these drugs with the express intention of causing social decay, distrust of political institutions, and long term political instability. This is a geopolitical issue, and Oregon’s progressive ideology of decriminalization and enabling social decay just coincidently matches the ideal outcome foreign adversaries would want. It would be very alarming if there was some deep pervasive ideological connection between Oregon’s political class and our foreign adversaries.

Maybe it’s time to rewatch Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Night of the Living Dead.
