"Bu-but that wasn't real communism!"
-Someone from California

[SunnyLovetts]

“Never underestimate the power of human stupidity” - Robert A. Heinlein

“For many decades communists were the only political group in South Africa who were prepared to treat Africans as human beings... Because of this, there are many Africans who, today, tend to equate freedom with communism.” - Nelson Mandela

When the poor person fight's for communism everyone takes him serious
When the rich person want's communism they take him as a joke
What a sad world we are living in. Where people can't even understand why others are fighting for anything else but their own profit...

"The goal of Socialism is Communism." Lenin

"The people who are the most anti-communism in America are people who left communist countries". This statement is very powerful.

[noelimmermann]

ah yes cuba, a small socialist island nation that has been shut off from almost the intire world because of US embargos for 6 decades. I think cuba is a solid reason for socialism not against it.

[O_bosh_o]

wouldn't Cuba be a much better country to live in if the entire world didn't reject Cuba just for being a different system from them? trade is important to the sustainment of a country especially to one who does not have access to all the natural resources they need. how can we expect much from a country who has been shunned by most if not all the western world, just saying if we lifted the sanctions maybe they would be prosperous

[jorgeub]

What's crazy is that someone has to explain why Communism is evil. People forget so fast

[itsmefinnstar]

It’s sad how many young people call themselves communists

[mohammedyakub]

'8 decades or health, wealth and ease' that statement is definitely relatable to Europeans but many americans would say that it's the opposite of the situation in the US. Any accident or health issue would result in a huge debt and you can't get a high paying job without spending a huge sum for university. In the UK etc there are paid apprenticeships etc which are widely available as an alternative to university and healthcare is free and in parts of the UK university is free

What Ben said here is exactly what i have been telling everyone, people have NO IDEA how amazingly good and easy we ALL have it here and now

[cornpop]

me- "dude kinda looks like Micheal Moore."
Ben- "it's easy for Michael Moore to..."
me- "ah, so Ben sees it too."

[taemck]

I often listen to Shapiro with interest, but then he made me laugh with the standard American argumentation. Like communism is bad, people died because of it. Is capitalism good, did people die because of it? Not? The Chinese were not killed, atomic bombs were not dropped on the peaceful cities of Japan? Did they not destroy Iraq because of a false pretext? Have the dark-skinned population been deprived of their rights? Have you shown aborigines in zoos?
And all this despite the fact that communism really did not exist in any country in the world. There were and are communist parties. And the countries - the USSR, China, Cuba - are socialist.

The hardest math for most Americans to do is to count their blessings.

[stanisawzokiewski]

As someone from a postcomunist country i say:
Correct

[louisfk]

Young Leftists reading the Communist Manifesto and Mao’s Little Red Book: *This is wonderful*

People in who were born in China, Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Cuba, Vietnam or Cambodia: *ARE YOU NUTS?!*

[scoobieamg]

Yet so many Americans are really struggling.

[mvinson]

Everyone is ok with communism when they don’t have to suffer the worst of it. I see small versions of this in every day life today. It seems romantic. It’s the perfect story of the serpent in the garden IMO

[jerryware]

It requires force to get people to consistently act against their best interests. It’s the government boot on your neck to force you obey or die.
