The problem is that the sort of Marxist communism described is more like what the US has been on a trajectory toward since the fall of the Soviet Unnion when the US became the world's leading communist superpower. The Chinese communists have highrr mean life expectancy than Americans and have a mean IQ that is nearly half a standard deviation higher than American mean IQ. China has 814 billionaires, the most in the world, according to the Hurun Global Rich List 2024. China will create millionaires more than seven times faster than the US in the five years through 2026 according to the Credit Suisse Wealth Report. China is on track to overtake the US both economically and militarily. This is the difference between communism in China and the communism in the US. The communists in China are far smarter than Americans, live longer than Americans and are becoming richer far faster than Americans. The US is a nation in decline, ultimately headed for third world status. China can thank GW Bush for a lot of this. It was during his administration that China really started to surge ahead.

kaboom, Bush did that...and yes, USA is spiraling the drain...Marxism is here and on its ways big time. Your explanation is 100% on the money.

US is more socialist than China, when measured economically by government expenditure as a percentage of GDP.

Bwahaha! What a pile of bovine crap! IQ has little to do with intelligence. The CCP are even bigger liars than Biden and Harris.

China is thanking Democrats! Forget GW, and the Bushes who were just a few cockroaches to be squashed.

Oh, the translation is horrible, however that was what happened in Romanian prisons. Not only at the Piteshti one. Unfortunately, its mentality is still as of vasal state. Bowing here and there, corrupt. Born and raised there then moved for few decades in China. Romania, Russia and China have different historical and social backgrounds. China never accepted Soviets directions of Communism. Deng Xiao Peng had different views and knew that is not going to rise China from poverty, but deepen it. Romanian communism was devastating, in so many ways, as the main rules came from Soviets. You are right, Chinese are smart.

Thank you for your response. I believe it's true, and I know that that if we, Americans, don't acknowledge the extent of evil and corruption that exists in our government today, we will be facing the same horrors that Nazi and Communist governments have imposed on millions. It is our ignorance and inability to comprehend the level of evil in the world that will defeat us. Thank you for your courage in bringing these horrific truths to our attention.

It is true. This happens when you give power to uneducated people. Militzia and Securitate recruited them and used them to gather information about political oponents . And they would do the dirty work as well. Abuse. No scruples, when a fool can show his power over an intelectual or a former leader. Didnt’t you notice anything during Covid’s lock down? I was telling people around that “deja vu”…

During the debate, Trump straight-out called Kamala a "Communist".

Did anyone hear Kamala deny it -- "I AM NOT A COMMUNIST!"? If she did deny it, I missed it.

Thank you for the article, I confirm everything you wrote, I live in Romania, I had the "happiness" of experiencing the horrors of the communist dictatorship until December 1989.

We had the most brutal communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe, and the bloodiest revolution to overthrow the dictatorship, which began on December 16, 1989.

My grandparents were tortured and exterminated by communists, my father was deported at 17 to Russia for 5 years. All the assets of my family (both from the mother's side and from the father's side) were confiscated.

A lot of people don't know what dictatorship means, it terrifies me that these days we are heading towards a new mixed Nazi-Communist dictatorship as I call it.

Sorry for my bad english.

You had your revolution - I applaud you for that. It is far past our time to have ours.

If we do not have our revolution *SOON* then, unlike you, we will NEVER escape from the clutches of modern-day "Communism". Why? Because of technology. ZERO escape!

I am so sorry and immensely sad for the terror and loss you experienced in Romania. People need to know about these horrible crimes. Thank you for your courage in sharing your experiences. It is our ignorance and inability to comprehend the extent of evil that exists in the world that will defeat us.

Timisoara is the city where I was born and live.

In those fateful days of December 1989, I was a nurse, I cared for dozens of wounded, some shot with "dum-dum" bullets, and unfortunately many people were killed.

Thank you for posting - a very difficult read.

We all have to do the best we can - "by the time the majority realise where the seat of corruptilon is, it has moved elsewhere."

Stay strong.

Everything we’ve been experiencing over the past few years leads me to conclude Dr Alexander, that the “Zionist’s Movement is completely responsible for all the wars, elevation of communism and the Globalist “New World Order”!

The comment below depicting Trump as an “Antisemite” simply because he said we need to eliminate the warmongers, communism and the Globalist Elites, proves to me our problems are much than we think!

The “American Defamation League” said the following about Trump.

Trump is against wars, against communism and against a “Globalist Totalitarian New Order.

The “ADL” said below Trump made this statement: because Tump is antisemetic and he wants to eliminate wars, communism and a Globalist New World Order?

Really?

“Former President Trump also delivered remarks that were in character but still dangerous. His claims about expelling warmongers, driving out globalists, casting out communists, and throwing off those who hate our country echo classic #antisemitic rhetoric.”

You decide what the “ADL” is implying.

The ultimate logical end behavior of the collective-mind-groupthink of collective culture vs. the independent thought of individualistic Western culture.
