Survivors of communism warn about America's future: 'Americans became Soviet' through cowardice

Survivors of communism are concerned about America's future as they see Marxism spreading in academia and Americans being too cowardly to speak out and stand up against the ideology.

Human Events and the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley recently hosted "Paying The Price: Victims of Communism Panel," in which five survivors of communist regimes shared their stories and warned about where America appears headed.

Tatiana Menaker, a refusenik who escaped from the Soviet Union after not being allowed to emigrate, said that when she attended San Francisco State University, she "found such brainwashing machine of Marxism, which I even didn't have in Russia, in the Soviet Union. American professors are all in delirium of Marxism."

Menaker also recalled how she "was kicked five times from Facebook, seven times from Quora. Actually, censorship in America reminds me of my old Soviet Union."

"I feel I am at home now, finally," she also said, laughing.

Menaker later added: "Americans used to be nations of brave. Now it's a nation of cowards. t's not tyrants who create slaves. It's slaves who create tyrants. And Americans became slavish. We do whatever we're told to do. They give everything we're asked to give. It's Soviet Union."

This is a very interesting report about what those who once fled communism feel about America now. This report on these immigrants is timely. It’s a reminder to native born American citizens that we really don’t know how great we had it here.

 

It is easy to see why today’s democrats want nothing to do with refugees from current or former communist nations. They see right through what the secular progressive elites are trying to impose upon us here.

 

Indoctrination! DNC goal in full bloom!

 

Without a doubt that is absolutely true.

 

Lol...you mean like right wingers cheering on Putin's thuggery as he destroys Ukraine?
We certainly do have too many traitors running around polishing Putin's turds, starting with trump.

 

Unfortunately it is usually not cowardice but agreement that strengthens the Marxist movement in America. First of all it comes in many flavors, never uses the term marx, and paints a picture of nirvana that is quite appealing. The fact that this promised nirvana is physically impossible is too abstract to bother the adherents. Secondly, rebellion is a natural phenomenon with young adults which is why Marxist philosophy relies heavily on colleges and universities to advance. The stories of the survivors are based on real time real life first hand experiences. But it is all a remote abstract to moist common Americans.

 

Most conservatives I know and Trump too support Ukraine in this war of Russian aggression.
