I am told by one of my sons that Godless Communism has never been tried. By a cousin that it keeps getting interrupted by dictators. By an old family friend that it does work, and the only objections to it are on religious grounds. I regularly listen to Twilight Zone radio adaptations as I work, and thus far these explanations beat anything that Rod Serling has ever come up with.
I’ve heard them proclaim that REAL Communism has never been tried.
They still love Castro and Che and Chavez and Stalin and Mao and North Vietnamese military.
They carried the flags, they quoted the books (and even passed around Mao’s Little Red Book).
They still love dictatorships and need to be called out as anyone would likewise call out a neonazi or fan of Adolf Hitler.
