I've read that narrative from communists who claim the USSR was a wonderful place to live in, closest system of governance to utopia, ever. Interesting narrative. Not one I give credibility to.

I've taken in communist publications since I was a child growing up in south Florida. I'd tune into Radio Moscow in the evenings as it was broadcast from Havana to Miami. When I've gone back and listened to some old broadcasts the chimes that began the show were familiar echos from the past. I watched TASS evening news broadcast on my local PBS station after the national news ended. I read Pravda when I'd go to the public library. Not because I was an aspiring communist. But because I wanted to know what my nation's adversary had to say about my nation. I learned to understand propaganda very early in life. From those I was taught to disagree with and those I was taught to agree with.

I still read Marxist/socialist/communist publications to this day, from the smaller internet sites targeted at true believers to the English-language Chinese official publications. I've been trained by the top propagandists in the US in school, the military and my work of many decades. In the history of and the current practice of. Not a writer or producer of, but a reader and analyst of.

And I know that the US has been transformed into a Fascist governing model away from its constitutional foundations for more than a century. I reject both models. I embrace the constitutional model my nation long ago strayed from. Individual freedom and liberty as that foundational document enshrined. Not as the many laws, regulations, edicts and rulings laid on top of it have made a mockery of.

Strawman. If you can't do better, why should I?

Ahh, I see, you're a devoted communist lemming, lacking critical thinking skills. Which makes my comment directed at others than you; someone incapable of processing. Buh-bye.

Name calling. Go burn a cross in someone's yard, as is your want.

Is your way, not mine. Communists are Satanic.
