Free healthcare, free everything, hey NOTHING IS FREE, know this now, liberals. Think about it, when everything is free then there is NOTHING.

READ MORE about life under communism. From the NY Post, a Cuban tells about Cuban communistic life.

From the article.....

“ In Cuba, it is illegal to speak against the government or complain about living conditions. We were prohibited from speaking with local media, but the journalists were state employees and wouldn’t publish our stories anyway. We couldn’t express our unmet needs and were reminded that we shouldn’t complain anyway, because we were promised — you guessed it — free education and free health care.”

“I wish that one day I might have a conversation with some of these young American socialists, who have no experience with actually existing socialism. They like to think they can have democracy and a socialist economy. But everywhere it’s been implemented, public ownership of the means of production has led to political repression.”

In the 1980’s Boris Yeltsin visited an American supermarket and just about cried, he thought the store had been “staged” to show plenty in America. When he found out it was the ordinary situation in every town in America, it was the beginning of Russia abandoning Communism. The Russian People had been starving, there was no incentive to work much, and people with no food don’t even have the energy or focus to work. Plus, even if you had money in Russia, there were no goods to buy.

All Gen X, Y and people born after 1980 need to understand what happens under Communism! Basically you starve. Why American Democrats are pushing Communism is incomprehensible.

Here is the magazine article, read about all this yourself if you don’t believe me. All throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s we Americans had been reading about the starving Russians, and journalists had posted many reviews of stores in Russia in which there was practically nothing for sale.

It blows my mind that Americans would actually vote for Soviet America. Communism is like taking a poverty vow to live in want and hunger. Stupid stupid liberals. There were a few soviet citizens that liked it that way because they didn't have to work and were accustomed to living in poverty, but Most were elated when the Soviet Union fell. But our dumbed down people don't seem to have any memory of that. Seeing portly, poorly dressed women standing in line to buy an old loaf of bread or a small bit of minced meat is etched in my memory. America was the best of the best and the communists were the poorest of the poor.

These young kids also think that gulags weren't that bad. They have no idea how horrific those places were.

One notorious one was called "Cannibal Island Gulag" because, you guessed it, the political prisoners there had nothing to eat but each other.

Not quite accurate.

Most of the smarter progressive liberal leaning types want personal freedom and some socialization of goods so that everyone has basic life support.

NOT communism. Not a ban on private ownership. Not a totalitarian thought police state. Just a kinder state where people aren't left to die if hardship happens.

It's been infiltrated as any good ideas are, but the very basic premises matter, especially when outside forces are trying to divide the populace and bring the U.S. down.

Know and identify the enemies. The enemy wants to consolidate all power with no accountability to the ruled.

More from the Cuban article...

“ Let me tell you about socialism as I lived it under the Fidel Castro regime.

The house where I was born in Communist Cuba had a dirt floor, a bathroom hole-in-the-ground, which we shared with six other families, and a zinc roof that left us unbearably hot in the summer and shivering in the winter.

We had no running water, no refrigerator and no door in the back of the house. We cooked with charcoal. My mother raised four boys by herself in that “house,” working 12 hours a day to earn 160 Cuban pesos, or approximately $6, a month.”

Look up the story called "Worms from Our Skin" by Teeda Butt Mam, a woman who survived the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia. In it she tells the horrors of what the communist regime did to people.

For some reason I can't post the link to it here, probably because it's an old archived New York Times article, so you would have to look it up.

Nice dumbing down of the points. Remember when people knew the world was complex and understood nuance?

Socialism has gradients and the U.S. has been smart enough to know a well educated, fed populace makes a stronger country.

Calling ANY government help some "ism" is not accurate. Isn't the government itself supposed to be made of citizens and not some stand apart overlords? What's wrong with help?

The U.S. was formed for the people by the people. That's pretty "socialistic." Saying another citizen should leave when they don;t agree with you is as 'unamerican' as it gets.

And this is what 30 years of not teaching our children of the dangers of fascism, socialism, and communism gets us. They want to make it look like our founding fathers were nothing but racists... negating the fact that the entire world was doing it... including the African leaders where the slaves were bought. I'm not marginalizing it, but you have to have perspective. America was founded by great men and women revolting against a system of tyranny.

I think the critical race theory that President Trump just suspended was the right move, I'm just not sure if it's too late?

The other part I think about is how we haven't had it tough in this country for many years. With capitalism, comes great wealth and laziness... kids don't know what it's like to have to work hard... Parents give their kids everything, and thus creates a society of fat and lazy kids that are out of touch with reality. Mix this with how our media doesn't show anything to do with the horrors of places like Venezuela, or any other 3rd world dictatorship where people live in squalor.

Sad stuff that we are witnessing... but, it's being driven by a small group of people, who aim to destroy this country.

Except even if they were to pay their "fair share" it still wouldn't be enough to cover even one of those items and the left would still want more.

Even worse, they complain about the government but they don't understand that free anything is going to be run by the government.

You need that surgery? Well you better hope like hell it's not serious because first they have to decide if you are "productive enough of a citizen" to even get it in the first place. THEN you have to wait for all the government red tape to be properly signed off on, then finally you get your surgery 6 months later.

Get in an accident and need life support? Same deal, except the decision to pull the plug or not comes from the state.

This is just healthcare. What hoops will you have to jump through for your living wage? Schools will all be nationalized. You can't have just a *little* socialism.

I don't know about you but will the way governments tend to mess stuff up I'd rather they stayed far the hell away from anything overly important.

Do a search for Evergreen College and Bret Weinstein to discover what happens when libtards get carried away with their own rhetoric.

The USSR didn't do it right.
 Quoting: Tyrone Slothrop


You're missing the truth of history though: Communism was always a lie made to destroy countries.

Communism was invented by British Intelligence and International banking (one and the same by then) to create revolutions that would leave countries dysfunctional and keep people poor and easy to control.

Marx was a repugnant man chosen as the face of communism precisely because he was the perfect extremely repugnant man. He was not even intelligent enough to be a successful shop keeper. He had one of the most grating personalities ever...just condescending and opinionated yet ignorant in the extreme. He could use big words because he was well enough educated but he is excellent proof that being able to use big words alone is not intelligence.

The British invented modern spying, which is systematic blackmail etc for control over networks, all the way back in the 1500s as an outgrowth of British Naval intelligence (the issue of Queen Elizabeth vs the Spanish Armada) and had a huge lead on anyone else who tried to compete with them. They used it to take over international banking and succeeded more or less completely when they defeated Napoleon in the early 1800s.

The British Empire has changed over time, but it is still the same legacy organization that is always trying to control the whole world and getting mixed results that are a huge mess instead.

Any attempt at anything like a 'communism except successful' is doomed to fail with them still out there trying to control everything and everybody. They are the major thing that has mostly been written out of history books which when you add it back in it begins to make everything easily understandable and explainable.

This is the kind OD stupid stuff you end up saying when you only get your information from an echo chamber of the same ideology.

The vast, vast majority of Democrats are not communist, do not want communism, and dont know, much less care, what Marxism is.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72865238


yeah, they want to be so nice and gentle while using
the election booth to destroy the middle class with
socialism, meanwhile pretending that they are not communists. yeah, that is it. it's only "wealth redistribution", not communism.

we are not fooled at all. looks like communism, tastes
like communism, and smells like communism. we know
communism when we see it, no matter how you try to
sugar coat it.

Yeltsin said in his autobiography that he knew in advance that Monica Lewinsky was a trap set by the Republicans, dress and all - and wanted to warn Bill Clinton they were setting him up but didn’t want him to know how much the Russians knew. Unfortunately Clinton was horny enough to fall for it.

I challenge you to seek out 10 Democrats in the next 24 hours and ask them if they want to destroy the middle class, if they are socialists and what class of socialism they ascribe to, and how much they support a communist takeover.

Please report back with the results and screenshots so we can all assess properly.
