Take It From Someone Who Knows
The ” People’s ” Housing
” Twenty-four years ago, I was a political refugee exiled from communist Romania to freedom in America. But today, America is in need of freedom. Socialism is spreading in America like a horrible sickness. It is time for those of us who experienced socialism to speak up.
Socialism is a false ideology and is contrary to the American capitalism system. American capitalism promotes free-market and individual freedom, while the Socialist system replaces the free market with government control and eradicates private property, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, religious rights, and national self-determination.
Romania was once a rich capitalist country, with a free-market economy, good health care, and a great school system. Bucharest, the capital, was called “Little Paris.” But soon after Nicolae Ceausescu was elected president in 1965, everything changed.
Socialism is against wealth. It confiscates and distributes its citizens’ wealth, destroying productivity and individual self-worth. In the name of promoting “fair share,” “justice,” and “equality,” socialism turns most of its people equally into poor people, while the elite leaders enjoy a lavish lifestyle. “
I was in the Czech Republic in 07 and there were still plenty of buildings that looked just like this one. In fact, my wife and I stayed in one with a couple who was hosting. Wonderful, generous people crammed into a tiny apartment, a leftover from the communist days. Thanks for posting this. I hope some progressives read it and the bulb finally goes on.
I won’t hold my breath , but I too share your hopes for the lifting of the veil .
