Read the first few chapters of “American Betrayal” by Diana West. It’ll shed light on why you don’t see any anti-vommunist movies.

Vommunist = communist.
But maybe a mashup of vomit and communist?

The video shows exactly why the American People need President Trump and the Trump Administration right now and why all people of good will must give him their wholehearted support.

I hope that this student sues these two guys into bankruptcy. It is one thing to state your viewpoint, even to argue with somebody, and it is quite another to assault them.

Look, I already despise this ā€œprofessorā€œ because he wears a hammer and sickle pin. One of my great grandfathers was murdered by Stalin’s NKVD, and I absolutely loath anybody who backs anything even related to Communism (or its bastard child, Socialism). But I would never just plain hit the guy unless he attacked me first. I might hurl some insults at him, but that’s about it. That is the limit of civilized behavior, and when you go beyond that limit, you need to pay a price.

WSU has relieved Mahoney of all teaching duties but he is still a graduate student there.

Typically, teaching is how the PhD candidate works off his or her scholarship funding. Wonder if they turned off the money spigot as well?

That’s tragic but fascinating.

If you happen to have any family history on that time I’d love to read it. I would not want you to go to any work.

From a very young age I had an immediate dislike and skepticism of the far left, communism in particular.

I got involved with my familyā€˜s genealogy when my grandfatherā€˜s youngest brother came to the US in 1994, at age 87. Unfortunately, he died about nine months later, but I not only learned a lot from him, but have an ongoing relationship with his youngest son, who is my fatherā€˜s first cousin.

I did ask my great uncle about what life was like under communism, and what differences there were from beforehand. Understand that he was born in 1906, so he was only a boy when the first world were started, and a teen when the Russian civil war took place after World War I. However, he was very firm in his memories, one of which was that before World War I, there were bakeries all over the city, where he and the rest of the family lived (which is now called Dnipro, in what is now Ukraine). He said that you could walk into any of these bakeries and get anything you wanted in terms of rich, dark, breads, or desserts, as there were no shortages whatsoever. He said that as soon as the communist came into power, they started to reorganize the way food was produced, and there were shortages ever since that time. Interestingly, he and a couple of his older brothers owned very small cabins on small pieces of land outside of the city. Apparently, at least after Stalinā€˜s time, the government loosened up and allowed a modest amount of private property. They would grow some food on this land, not much because it was a very small piece, but it was always of higher quality than what they could get in the stores, and they did a certain amount of trading with neighbors who grew different foods on their land. Mostly they grew different types of potatoes, onions and beets. These are staples in the Russian diet, and relatively easy to grow.

He was also pretty much forced to join the Communist Party, because without having that ā€œqualification,ā€œ you could not possibly get a decent job. Notice that I didn’t say a ā€œgoodā€œ job, as those really did not exist unless you were a scientist or a very high-level engineer or doctor. He told me that he never believed in any of that, and I know for a fact that his father, my great grandfather (the one who was murdered), had owned 14 rental properties and operated a water transport business before World War I. A communist took everything away from him, produced over a lifetime of backbreaking work and sacrifice, leaving him with only the house that he lived in. With that theft, they also stole his retirement plan, when he was in his early 60s. All that he could do after that was to work some menial jobs and survive from week to week. When he got sick with cancer in the mid 1930s, His only choice for keeping food on the table was to rent out part of his house to other families. Since being a landlord was illegal under communism, this earned him a trip to the local NKVD prison, where he was beaten very badly. Gee, what a threat a 73-year-old man with cancer must have presented to Stalinā€˜s regime! He was released and had a couple of months to recover from his injuries, as his cancer continued to progress. Then, four reasons not entirely clear, in 1937. He was again taken by the NKVD, and this time he was beaten so severely that they knew he was going to die. So they brought him home, pounded it on the door, and when my great grandmother opened it, they threw him into the house like he was a sack of potatoes. He had been so badly beaten that he didn’t know who anybody was, and he died a few hours later. You can see why I have a white hot hatred of all things Communist. What makes this personal for me is the effect that it had on my grandfather. I remember that when I was eight years old, my grandfather went back to visit what was left of his family. By this time, both his parents were gone, along with a few siblings. He knew, of course, that his father had died in 1937, because someone in the family had sent him a letter saying that his father had died from his sickness. Understand that the NKVD monitored all communications that took place, not just within the USSR, but especially to anyone outside, so they could not say what the real truth was. But when he went back in 1969, he was able to find out the truth of what his family had gone through over the past 46 years since he had left. This included the truth about how his father had died. When my grandfather returned, he came to our home for a visit, and to specifically tell my father about his trip and what he had learned. On no other occasion before or since that time did I ever witness my grandfather crying. To me, because of what he had gone through during the course of his life, he was one of the most mentally tough people that I had ever met. Yet on this occasion, he was crying like a baby. Though as an eight-year-old I obviously never discussed this directly with him, he obviously felt tremendous guilt about not being able to help his family directly, and for what they did to him, I can never forgive any Communist, starting with Karl Marx, and including all of the college professors and Gen Z morons who think that communism is superior to any form of government.

Apologies for the grammatical errors and typos above, apparently Siri does not understand or write English very well.

Thank you for sharing.

I’ve no direct family Experience with communist oppression since my family roots goes back to the 1600s in Virginia.

However I’ve read voraciously especially when younger. As of lately I’ve watched many videos about communism and expats who survived it.

my summary and opinion is communism is a great lie, a great deception. It is a way to fool the people to give up all rights and live as serfs for a sort of oligarchy based on force—basically a socialistic mafia.

I could give many examples but one will suffice. I went to DC and joined a Falun Gong march , a group who has suffered genocide from the Chinese Communists. They gave me some literature (which I’ve lost apparently 🤬) which went into the history of their persecution. Mao told the people they were oppressed and if they would join him all wealth would be shared equally.

But what did Mao REALLY do? After winning Mao had his agents go across the country and pick out the most lavish residences and have the rightful owners executed. He then took possession of these houses and estates. He also had a strong sexual drive and had his men order beautiful CCP army females of a young age sleep with him nightly. If they refused they were labeled ā€œcounter revolutionariesā€ and shot. He also had disgusting hygiene and was reputed to have never, ever brushed his teeth. He also had a love for fresh seafood and the dirt poor CCP would FLY him freshly caught seafood even when he stayed in his lavish estates near the Gobi desert, a 1000 miles away.

In short communism is used as a lie so the leaders can live more lavishly than the very richest capitalists.

ā€œ Instead, Mao said, ā€œI wash myself inside the bodies of my women.ā€ He never brushed his teeth, either; instead, he simply used tea to rinse out his mouth when he woke, eating the leaves after drinking the water, as many peasants in southern China did.ā€

One of many of Mao’s lavish estates;
