Presidential Message on the National Day for the Victims of Communism, 2019
whitehouse.gov ^ | 11/7/19 | President Donald Trump

Posted on 11/07/2019 12:06:28 PM PST by ransomnote

On this National Day for the Victims of Communism, we remember the more than 100 million people who have died as a result of communist oppression. Today, we renew our commitment to helping secure for all people a future of peace and prosperity founded on the core tenets of democracy—liberty, justice, and a deep respect for the value of every human life.

This year’s National Day for the Victims of Communism coincides with the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. On November 9, 1989, determined men and women put President Ronald Reagan’s powerful words into momentous action, tearing down that symbol of totalitarianism and sending a message to the entire world that democracy and the rule of law will always triumph over oppression and tyranny. As we commemorate this milestone for human rights, we resolve to continue working with our allies and partners to ensure that the flames of freedom keep burning as a beacon of hope and opportunity around the globe.

As we pause on this day of remembrance to honor victims of communism everywhere, we must resolve always to safeguard the cherished liberties that foster peace and unleash unparalleled prosperity. Together, we can build a future free from the evils of communism.

There are millions of Americans whose countries were conquered by communism, some of those countries are still under communism. People from countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Checkeslovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam and Cuba were victims of communism. People from these ethnicities should join in educating the American people on the experiences that they endured.

...and the HUNDREDS of communist splinter groups operating with impunity across the land. We should lop the head of the U.S. communist serpent off — George Soros.

Needs further clarification:

On this National Day for the Victims of Socialism, we remember the more than 100 million people who have died as a result of socialist oppression.

Communism is just one flavor of socialism. All lead to the same eventual conclusion.

“People from countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Checkeslovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam and Cuba were victims of communism.”

Also East Germany, Albania, and Bulgaria. Several other countries, like Greece, Italy, and Austria, narrowly escaped communist domination in the immediate post-WWII years.
