So many people defending socialism and communism. Thinking “we can make it work” and spouting off statistics that they read somewhere and not drawing the correlation of left wing and communism/socialism. 2 points to make here:
History is written by those who have hanged. This means the information that makes it out of the communist countries is curated to sound better than it is. The statistics are lies. The politicians are corrupt and will do anything to secure their power and will not stop at eliminating their opposition and vocal people. This is happening in the US. Recent US political news sounds vaguely familiar. Just like the history books in the US fails to delve into the REAL history of Republicans and Democrats and who did what. The left controls the education system and now we have a whole generation that believe the lies they have been told. Lies that are either blatant or through omission. All anybody has to do is real research and they will find the truth is not what they were taught. You can’t see the forest from the trees. The ones claiming that “we can make it work” and buying into the lies, can’t see the crap happening before their very eyes. They have been conditioned to believe that the good guys are winning. I am not here to take sides of right vs left. I am just saying what I see.
By “succeed” you mean the 1000s of countrymen and women that were slaughtered to silence by the tyrannical leaders’ armies because they were an actual threat to their grip on the people. The “success” that so many outsiders take as fact is nothing but cleverly crafted lies to make communism and socialism seem better than it actually is. The REAL truth is told by the citizens that successfully fled said countries and fled to America and other free countries. Listen to their stories and the things they experienced. THAT is the truth of what goes on in the countries.
