What Communist Paradise Really Looks Like
American Thinker ^ | 1 Mar, 2024 | Anna Bohach

I recently watched an interview of Xi Van Fleet by Tucker Carlson. Van Fleet lived through the Chinese Cultural Revolution and eventually was able to flee Communist China to the United States in the mid-1980s. Her harrowing story was all too familiar to my family and the many who have fled communism to find freedom in the United States of America.

My husband’s family fled Communist Hungary in the early 1970s. He paid a heavy price. My in-laws had to leave my husband behind in order to escape when he was only three years old. They believed they would be able to get him out of the country within a few months because Hungarian law stated that you could not separate a child from his parents. Unfortunately, after they left the country, the law was changed, and it took them almost five years to be reunited with their son.

My husband’s parents were forced to flee because they could not get housing or proper work. They were living in a laundry kitchen until my mother-in-law became pregnant with my husband. Since they were not members of the Communist Party, they were put on a ten-year waiting list to be able to rent an apartment. In desperation, my father-in-law stole bricks and mortar to build an illegal room with a dirt floor on to his mother’s very small home for them to live in.

Life in Communist Hungary was difficult. My mother-in-law’s family was devoutly Catholic, even in spite of communism’s heavy repression of religion. Communist watchers in every community would mark down every family that attended church. Since my mother-in-law went to church with her family, she was put on a list to be denied opportunities in school. She was advanced in mathematics and science...

“The religion of the left....hell on Earth.”

...and coming to a country near you.

But I know, your Senator is a RINO, so nothing could be worse, not even a Communist bloodbath.

It would seem America has already lost the first two, and DC is working night and day to do away with the third...

"If America goes communist, there is not where else to flee."

The Money Quote.

People need to meditate on and grok this.

If the Marxists in the US are successful, then the whole planet Earth, and as far as we know, the whole known universe, will be communist. And probably forever.

But people have access to the Internet, and before that to books, newspapers, and magazines.

This lady's story shouldn't be anything new to anyone.

Anyone who is sentient and who reads and who has traveled outside of the US, even to France or Mexico or the UK, knows how poor and primitive the rest of the world is, with its squalor and squatty holes and trash everywhere, and boatloads of passive, hopeless people.

Everyone should already be aware of what the world is like. Just watch TV or You Tube if you can't afford to travel. Inform yourselves people.

Absolutely.. Anyone can use google maps and travel the streets of other countries to see how other folks live.. The poverty, the walls, iron bars and razor wire.

The people of South America live behind the walls, the streets and the liberty belong to the criminal gangs.

There is always this fallacious belief: “It would not be the same here; here such things are impossible.” Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.

-Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It is unfolding here in America, with blatant tyranny at our doorstep. Many here are still holding to the same old fallacious belief.

Here is another effect of the success of Communism...

CUBA
Cuba increases price of gasoline by over 500% in the midst of the crisis
A liter of regular gas will rise from $0.20 to $1.10, and this is just one of the measures planned for this year, along with hikes to electricity, water and public transit

Hungarian Socialist Workers' [Communist] Party boss János Kádár pursued "goulash Communism," hailed as a more benevolent and progressive form of Communism by Western liberals. But in reality, it was the Nomenklatura elite who got the goulash, while the vast majority got the Communism.

people get a basic idea of why communism “is a bad idea”, but its not easy to really grasp the mentality that ‘the Party’ is important above all, and will happily murder as many of its own enthusiastic adherents (to say nothing of the ‘doubtful’ ones) as fast as it can for absolutely no reason. The mentality that the individual is not just unimportant, but an actual detriment to ‘the Party’ (and thus needs to become fertilizer) is where people really get motivated to fight this. Communism is fascinating because from a certain point of view it has some very good selling points. It just turns out those selling points arent what they look like.

Those bastard democrats want our guns sooooo bad. It is the last one only defense we have against them. There is zero doubt in my mind Biden, Obama, Shumer, Pelosi, et Al would have us all rounded up and murdered for being enemies of their revolution. Obama’s political mentor said tens of millions of us would need to be exterminated for their paradise (Bill Ayers). There is no reason to question their dedication when they openly call for it and have the slogan, “by any means necessary.”
