At dinner with some (older) family friends who escaped communism… “Communism taught us to run away from the devil… now we’ve found the devil here as well.” If you are a “westerner” and have not studied communism, you may find this statement strange… “how can the USA be anything like communism?” you ask. But this is what people who escaped communism feel, and I promise you they know better than you what communism feels like; they lived it.

The United States cannot fall — powered by bitcoin, we will inspire and lead a peaceful and moral revolution of the West, if God wills it.
"Old friends who escaped communism": Chinese who lost the war and whose family were cursed to 9 generations, Russians ("good Russians") or eastern Europeans dying for a mcdonalds and reebok shoes. Is there a family who dont know these types of "I know communism bc a lived under it"? Even Brazilian soyboys who run to live in Florida will swear they just escaped from Brazilian authoritarian bloody communism regime 😂 Liberals being liberals realizing their beliefs were always fairy tales.
None of your descriptions fit the group I am talking about… I promise you none of the people I am with are “liberals” in the *modern* sense of the word.
I hope you are right and Kamala never have a seat at the oval office. That's enough of cultural sh*t being exported from US and EU to the world. BTW, why you guys call them communists? The communists countries I have know are way closer to Trump values than democrats.

communism is when the government owns everything
I lived in it and I can tell you you’re not anywhere near communism here in this land
I'm a redneck Cuban (Ruban). I also worked with a lot of LATAM and Eastern European countries. We are well into it here. This is no longer incompetence by the ruling class. This is deliberate orchestrated collapse of the nation. And what's messed up is that it's coming from the "Americans". From within. All western nations. Classic communist revolutionary tactics used to bring about communism. It's voted in then enforced through hunger and gov violence.
Nostr has edits. Also all of those things are features of government, regardless of the party ostensibly running it. Socialists, statists, and republicans are all basically the same thing. Only anarcho capitalists are true Americans.
I've been telling people around me for the past year or two that it's been here - no one believes

Sounds like some right-wing fever dream. In reality, the so called “Americans” with “American” values, many who are descendants of the colonizers who originated this violent settler state, are facing a deterioration of their livelihoods. Be it economic or otherwise, I don’t think I will be sad to see the results of institutionalized ignorance and bigotry slowly fade to irrelevancy. It’s not fair that elites lied to people to control them, but it’s also not fair the hateful-spawn and pseudo-Christians and white nationalists get to terrorize people and claim a land their ancestors genocided their way to power in. The American myth needs deconstruction and confrontation with its violent reality, perhaps inflicted upon the true believers, until we as a nation can begin to establish justice, the so-called principles which the Preamble enshrines.

The Moral revolution can begin with dismantling the military industrial complex and ending US involvement in genocide, and mass manipulation of other countries. US foreign policy is a blight on any attempt to establish justice in this country.
