Communist Regime Survivor Gives Stark Warning to Americans - the Youth, Especially, Should Take Heed

By Levon Satamian

As we see more citizens “embrace” socialism and communism, it is important for those citizens to listen to the experiences of folks who have fled from communist regimes such as the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, and Venezuela. Whether it’s due to what they hear from professors in classrooms or politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and other far-left politicians pushing their delusional agendas, more and more young people are starting to think that socialism and communism are the way forward, that those systems work, and that capitalism is “evil.”

Xi Van Fleet is a survivor of Mao Zedong’s communist revolution in China. She gave a stark warning to the American people on “Fox & Friends Weekend”:

Quote
“I just want to say it’s so ironic. 36 years ago, I run away from socialism when I left China to come to this great country for freedom. Today, so many Americans [are] abandoning freedom and arriving into socialism. They have no idea what socialism is about. I lived under Mao’s socialism. When the government controls everything and makes all the decisions big and small and decide how much grain, meat [and] cooking oil I could have. What I should learn in school, where I should live, and what job I should have and how I should think. In the socialist society I lived under, there was no choices. There is no freedom. And that’s what people do not know. Socialism becomes such a diluted word and it’s intentional. I can tell you, China is a socialist country. Cuba is a socialist country and so is North Korea. They are a socialist country run by communist parties. And what’s the difference? What’s the difference between socialism and communism? Not much. Socialism is the initial stage of communism, according to Karl Marx.”

Capitalism is a major driver of the success and prosperity of the United States of America. If people don’t push back on the delusional rhetoric about socialism and communism with the slew of historical facts demonstrating how those systems have failed repeatedly, young people will continue to believe (wrongly) that they are the way forward. Of course, not every young person is a socialist or communist, but, having graduated college in 2021, I can attest that the professors do their best to indoctrinate on these matters, especially in political science classes.

I routinely here similar things from people who have actually experienced real socialism/communism, and survived to tell the tale.

If socialism, communism, state-planned economy, etc, worked, the Soviet Union would have survived.

China is succeeding, to a point, because they co-opted Globalist institutions to subvert Western economies and militaries.

And Cuba and NK would be world-class economies that were the envy of the world.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, North Korea leads the world in Global Climate Change prevention by virtue of having a medieval, feudal economy?

Sounds like a model for the rest of the world.
