Despite a century of history lessons proving that Communism leads to increased poverty, violence, totalitarianism and social upheaval, a handful of liberal extremists are pushing the failed ideology.
The Bolshevik Revolution hit Russian in 1917 and led to the mass extermination of the business class and citizens who disagreed. Despite the genocide by communist dictators such as Joseph Stalin and China’s Mao Tse Tung, American idealists such as “Crazy” Bernie Sander and recently elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continue to push for “Democratic Socialism.”
The re-branding by Ocasio-Cortez may just be another instance of America’s least knowledgeable politician not knowing what she’s talking about. That being said, people who have suffered the debilitating effects of Communism are speaking out against these would-be commies.
On this John Stossel investigative report, everyday people get a look behind the fake news media’s love of communism through interviews with people who escaped brutal regimes in Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela among other communist states. While America’s liberal elitists think that communism is trendy and cool, they might want to take a long look at how destructive a force it has been for 100 years and counting.
The fact that upstart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is joining “Crazy” Bernie in Washington, D.C., should frighten people who want to own their own home, provide for their families or enjoy free speech. If you want to get true facts about just how dangerous the liberal communist movement truly is, watch this John Stossel video.
