No problemo, Pedro! We just make it so the owners of the MOP are the de facto government. That way, they're in full control, right? It's arguably the model most often found in history, and it's most often called feudalism. The Lord of the Manor owns the land, oversees distribution with no intervention and owns the profits.

Kinda sucks for most, but hey - private ownership throughout.

Thank GOD the USSR ultimately failed!

Now we have to recover from the MESS those demented leftists put us in.

That's what MAGA is ALL about!

I don't believe in KGB prophets.

I think it will win eventually. The lure of free stuff is too strong. The fact that Bernie is likely to be the nominee? Yep.

OR moving production to such places for this matter.

But then, again, money don't smell - do they?

Before they suffer, you will be sacrificed like every rich person in China, USSR and Venezuela.

In the video is a speech by Yuri Bezmenov. Very eerie. What sucks is that I'm young and I want to live life. Why is it the way of this world that these people can get the last laugh of finishing us off?
This man knows how the marxist leaders brainwash them and then when the transformation is complete , those that were brainwashed comes to realize that this is not the dream they thought it would be and they are annihilated for being dumb and brainwashed.. the transformation happened and the iron fist of Control over everyone comes first.



How they transform is in stages, and those that are brainwashed cannot be reprogrammed.. they are stuck with that ideology ingrained in their thinking. Common sense no longer a part of their thinking pattern. When they are demoralized the truth means nothing. Facts mean nothing. I saw this in the sixties in the college kids as they supported Communist countries before our soldiers. JFK a democrat president sent our soldiers to fight against the spread of Communism. The college kids were brainwashed to hate our soldiers and support the communists.



I was fortunate. At a young age I asked my father what is Communism.. He said it was when people had no rights . The government could go into your home and the Communist government could drag you out in the dead of night because you had no rights. YOu could disappear , be jailed for your beliefs if you were against the Iron Hand of Communism. It was a police state in which political Communism would not allow you to think differently . You must conform or be jailed , or killed to silence you. This is what my father told me and I was so shocked at this that it stuck with me to this day. Then my father told me how our country was different. That Americans have the right to speak and this was called Freedom of Speech.They could not drag you out of your house. You have rights. It will not happen here in America and I felt much better after hearing that.
