My lady friend is from North Vietnam (they moved to South after communism because at least it wasn't as bad, then she escaped in the 80s, very harrowingly). She tells all kinds of stories about things they had as a kid that just disappeared. Like pineapples was one from just the last couple days. They just "went away."
I taught my children and then my grandchildren about Capitalism vs. socialism. Set them in a circle and everyone has a dollar from earnings/work. Now pass the dollar to the right= spending/capitalism, then reach to the left and get the dollar=earned by capitalism/working. Everyone always has a dollar and is happy. NOW, Stop 'working' and start stealing every other dollar=Gov. socialism. Now someone is always broke, Waiting on the Gov. to Give them a dollar. Remember the Gov. actually Has NOTHING unless they steal it from Workers. SO, very soon they will have Nothing to steal so they will simply say, you have to starve because we killed Capitalism. Socialism has Never worked and Never will.

I told a family member in his early twenties to ask his Marxist friends: "How many more millions have to be murdered before they get it right?"
Can always send him this too. "Were ALL these guys that dumb and just missing the "marx" that bad???"

I can’t find the source for România or Bulgaria’s body count estimate.
Or, "It just hasn't been done right and we could do it right" Sigh
A friend of mine was from East Germany ---- they were happy to get bananas, that they never had before.

Like a person from a banana republic asking "what's saurkraut?"
Just tell them it's an irritable German.
I resemble this remark

It’s crazy and sad that they stand by what they say and have ZERO clue what they’re defending or talking about. Seriously. Disease.

I mean... many ran to capitalist countries in Europe with systems that are labeled in America as socialist, is the weird thing
