Khrushchev pounding his show at the UN: one of the iconic images of my childhood

Every May, “workers” throughout the Western world set aside their luxuries and march… for freakin’ communism. They want communism.

Are They Out of Their So-Called Minds?

Teachers’ unions think they’re oppressed. They think Venezuela’s better than America.

To someone who grew up during the Cold War, this is incomprehensible. And then after that we had the spectacle of Mao Tse-tung wiping out at least 40 million of his own countrymen in peacetime, during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.

When Nikita Khrushchev stood in front of the UN General Assembly and said, “We will bury you,” we took it seriously.

Democrats nowadays would buy him a shovel.

Oh, those playful communists! Note the knife to the throat.

The Soviet Union cumbered the earth for 70 years, then suddenly fell to pieces. No one misses it but The New York Times.

Could the same thing be about to happen to the communist regime in China?

Red China: How Much Longer?

Granted, this is a fallen world inhabited by sinners. There are going to be problems with anything we do. But communism is way below even this world’s standards, and people only put up with it because they’re afraid their commie government will kill them if they don’t. I wonder if that’s what Western liberals like about it.
