When asked about his trip his reply was: "Communism doesn't work."
We’ve been telling them, (good liberals), that for a long, long time.
I went there in 2004. It was a complete mess. I am glad, though, that they lifted the travel ban, and I would encourage Americans to go there solely for the reason to see for themselves what a disaster it is so they can stop romanticizing it.
I have a communist cousin there, who is a Lt. Col in the Interior Ministry. He is die hard. He asked “What do you think of our revolution” and I told him “Herbert, it speaks for itself” as we drove past ruins.
Lefties think communism is great unless they have to live under it's oppressive iron fist and jack-booted thugs.
