“Anybody here on FR ever vote commie? I doubt it.”

I held my nose and voted McLame and Romney. Does that count?

“Anybody here on FR ever vote commie? I doubt it.”

In 1981, France voted for president Francois Mitterand, head of the socialist (collectivist) party.
We lived in a neighbourhood next to a refugee center filled with South Vietnamese refugees who just recently fled the communist regime. Our garden is separated with the center just by a fence. I played with the Vietnamese kids and cried when one of them left the center (the refugees were in transit for only some weeks before being dispatched all over the country, I learned the governement wanted so to better integrate them).

My parents told me the Vietnamese next door are living proof that voting for Mitterand and his collectivist program is wrong (they were proven right, the French socialists nationalized big banks and industries after taking power). I was just 11 year old and I understood that perfectly.
