ANTI-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025

November 7, 2025

A PROCLAMATION

This week, our Nation observes Anti-Communism Week, a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies. Across continents and generations, communism has wrought devastation upon nations and souls. More than 100 million lives have been taken by regimes that sought to erase faith, suppress freedom, and destroy prosperity earned through hard work, violating the God-given rights and dignity of those they oppressed. As we honor their memory, we renew our national promise to stand firm against communism, to uphold the cause of liberty and human worth, and to affirm once more that no system of government can ever replace the will and conscience of a free people.

For more than a century, communism has brought nothing but ruin. Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom. Its story is written in blood and sorrow, a grim reminder that communism is nothing more than another word for servitude.

In the 34 years since the end of the Cold War, the world has witnessed both the triumph of democracy and the persistence of tyranny in new forms. New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of “social justice” and “democratic socialism,” yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control. America rejects this evil doctrine. We remain a Nation founded on the eternal truth that liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every person, and that no ideology, whether foreign or domestic, can extinguish them.

As we mark Anti-Communism Week, we stand united in defense of the values that define us as a free people. We honor the victims of oppression by keeping their cause alive and by ensuring that communism and every system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will find their place, once and for all, on the ash heap of history.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 2 through November 8, 2025, as Anti-Communism Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Declaring the week the day before it officially ends is such a low energy move.

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 82 points 2 months ago

It's pure reaction to Zohran winning

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

But then why not have it be the forthcoming week?

Perhaps stupidity, not malice?

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

Maybe they want the week to include the anniversary of the October Revolution?

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

That is giving American anti communists way too much credit. None of these people know when that is. They probably think that was in October by the Gregorian calendar. Heck, I'd be surprised if any of them knew what May 1 is and why America's Labor Day is a different date than most countries who celebrate a similar day.

Communism is when no food. Oh and by the way we're delaying SNAP funding.

New voices now repeat old lies

Americans are the most propagandized people on the planet.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A Soviet guy is drinking in a bar with an American guy. The American compliments the Soviet on the technical quality of Soviet propaganda. The Soviet thanks him, and says that America makes even better propaganda. The American looks at the Soviet, bewildered, and says "America doesn't do propaganda." The Soviet says "Exactly."

𝓓𝓞𝓤𝓑𝓛𝓔-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025

November 8, 2025

A PROCLAMATION

Next week, our Nation observes 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week, a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies. Across continents and generations, capitalism has wrought devastation upon nations and souls. The entire biosphere has been taken by regimes that sought to enforce faith, suppress freedom, and destroy prosperity earned through hard work, violating the rights and dignity of those they oppressed. As we honor their memory, we renew our national promise to stand firm against capitalism, to uphold the cause of liberty and human worth, and to affirm once more that no system of government can ever replace the will and conscience of a free working class.

For more than three centuries, capitalism has brought nothing but ruin. Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom. Its story is written in blood and sorrow, a grim reminder that capitalism is nothing more than another word for servitude.

In the 34 years since the end of the Cold War, the world has witnessed both the failure of bourgeois democracy and the persistence of tyranny in new forms. New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of “anti-woke” and “patriotism" yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of oligarchs, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control. DPR Sashatown rejects this evil doctrine. We remain a Nation founded on the eternal truth that liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every person, and that no ideology, whether foreign or domestic, can extinguish them.

As we mark 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week, we stand united in defense of the values that define us as a free people. We honor the victims of oppression by keeping their cause alive and by ensuring that capitalism and every system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will find their place, once and for all, on the ash heap of history.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, SASHA BEAR, General Secretary of the Worker's Party of Sashatown, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the Democratic People's Republic of Sashatown, do hereby proclaim the week of November 9 through November 15, 2025, as 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week.

Regards,

SASHA BEAR

Commie bear for GenSec, Cold War good ending, socialist America... all this is missing is more explicit "Soviet America" (which, tbh, is as much a Cold War relic as most of the capitalist nonsense we mock with posts like this). I love it! Anti-Capitalism Week would have worked too, but yours is funnier in that absurdist way I love about Cold War nonsense, very fitting.

Retroactively? It was anti-communist week last week and I DIDNT EVEN KNOW???

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago

Standing firm? Isn't the government shut down?

Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom.

I don't know. I had an idea but then I remembered hypocrisy is like an electric move on a ground type. I'm over it.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

What the fuck is a presidential proclamation? Is he really Myspace posting in the Oval Office?

[-] SouffleHuman@lemmy.ml 40 points 2 months ago

Can't believe Trump shut down the insidious, pervasive propaganda funded by USAID for this ham-fisted replacement. It seems even US propaganda got enshittified.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

That's how you know the US economy's fucked, the state can't afford good propaganda anymore, they had to switch to the bargain bin brand!

(I really do miss the absurdist "It Could Happen Here" and "Soviet America" stuff they made during the Cold War. That was good for at least a couple hits of "oh god yes please" before the twist ending where the commies lose/it's all a dream/everyone starves.)

Not really sure what to make of this, to be honest. I looked through presidential records and couldn't find any other "anti-communism week" declaration. I know that "Loyalty Day" has been declared every year since the second Red Scare.

Why did he declare it at the end of the week? Why did he only specify 2025 in the declaration? I can't find any mainstream news articles explaining the proclamation. Trump didn't even post about it on truthsocial.

In 2017, Trump proclaimed November 7 to be "National Day for Victims of Communism". The date was chosen in relation to 1917 Soviet Revolution. Why was it upgraded from 1 day to a whole week?

Nov 7 2017 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/national-day-victims-communism/

Nov 7 2018 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism/

Nov 7 2019 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism-2019/

Nov 7 2020 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism-110720/

I don't see a similar proclamation made by Biden, Obama, or Bush. Ron Desantis has designated November 7 to be "Victims of Communism day" in Florida each year since 2022, but not nationally.

Conservatives get really mad about things like "Black history getting a whole month" so I think there's just going to be a tendency toward inflated durations over time from them. Of course, black history month makes perfect sense when you consider that it's about history classes focusing more on black history for a month rather than being a month-long festivity as such, but try telling that to a racist who doesn't understand that the other ~8 months in the school year are de facto white history months in many American schools.

[-] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The October Revolution, also known as the Great October Socialist Revolution (in Soviet historiography), or Bolshevik revolution, was the second of two revolutions in Russia in 1917.
It was led by Vladimir Lenin's Bolsheviks as part of the broader Russian Revolution of 1917–1923.
It began through an insurrection in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg) on 7 November 1917 [O.S. 25 October].

It should have started on the 7th not the 2nd.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

No, that's when we start Double Communism Week! Didn't you bears read the party handbook they sent you when you made a Hexbear account!?

Its always just projection. This accurately describes capitalism.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Know I’m preaching to the choir here, but always telling how they tell anti-fascists “you can’t kill an idea” in fact to the point where they argue all opinions are equal and worthy of respect.

But they don’t feel the same about anything left-of-center. Apparently those ideas can be killed for the horrible crime of being no-no thoughts (but fascism isn’t one of these because uhhh….reasons.)

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

I've used "You can't kill an idea" against anti-communists... did not know it originated with the fash. Crap.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I can’t say for sure they invented that phrase. I just happened to come across them using it, so feel free to keep using it.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Even if they did invent it, we shouldn't let them have it.

shouldve waited for christmas, the communists lost the war on christmas and thats when the soviets dissolved so...

[-] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

weak. I haven't heard of this at all, and as a communist, maybe I should have, but.. 😂

anyways, there being nothing to celebrate forces trump to co-opt our glorious october revolution, which is funny in itself.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's giving them too much credit. If anyone involved in making this proclamation can correctly give the exact Gregorian calendar date on which the October Revolution is celebrated, without looking it up, I'll eat my hat.
