Excerpts from Communism Landed in Eastern Europe Un-Invited

Socialism is Communism in disguise. Give the socialists the police power of government and you have Communism.

Communism has done more damage to humanity than the World War II and is still doing it. Just look at Africa and now Venezuela, not to mention Cuba.

Compassionate Communists

My father had a small business employing two people. His equipment was confiscated and the business closed. He was placed as a worker with one of the large companies, now owned by the “people”, or rather the state.

Fiscal Reform - Communist Style

After the war, the inflation was out of control. After taking over the responsibility of feeding the “people”, the communist government faced the problem of setting prices and salaries.

The communists are equalitarian. No-one can have more than the rest. Here is how they did it:

The government printed new currency and made the old currency worthless. I was 9 years old. Over night, everything was really cheap. What used to be 10,000 lei, now it was only 10 lei.

What I did not know at the time, was that the government provided every family with just 1,200 lei in exchange, regardless of how much money anyone had in the previous currency. All cash owned by individuals just disappeared over night. Individual bank accounts were closed and credit disappeared. Everyone had a new start, and equally poor: 1.200 lei period.

Economic Impact

The economic impact was immediate. The food just disappeared. No milk, no meat and even the black bread had to be rationed. You needed a coupon to buy a loaf of bread. Even during the war, there was more food available. This state of affairs lasted for many years. It got better for a while, and then it got worse again. At one point, people were happy when they could find chicken feet on the market. And that was after 15 years of communism.

The fall of communism has been attributed to President Ronald Regan by taking a strong stand against communism and calling it The Evil Empire, which it was. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union was due to common sense of the new and educated leaders who could not bear to lie and mislead their own people and the world community.

Communism collapsed on its own from top down. There was no one to support it.

Socialism Is Deadly

The following are excerpts from Socialism Is Deadly:

Socialism is not self-sustainable. It needs a leader to employ the power of the state to achieve its goals.

Soviet Union was established in 1922. It called itself Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It added in short order Soviet Socialist Republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belorussia (now Belarus), Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirgiziya (now Kyrgyzstan), Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia (now Moldova), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. They were all called “Socialist”.

Hitler raised to power by building the German Workers' Party. The name was changed by Hitler to include the term National Socialist. Thus the full name was the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei orNSDAP) called for short, Nazi.

After the war, Soviet Union retained Eastern Europe and installed communist governments. They all became “Socialist”. CzechSocialistRepublic, Socialist Republic of Romania and so on.

Hitler was a socialist

By the autumn of 1937 Hitler had held three plebiscites. One asked vindication of his departure from the League of Nations, and he received a 92.3 per cent vote of confidence. The second sought acceptance of his combination of chancellorship and presidency after the death of Hindenburg; the affirmation vote was 88.3 per cent. The third followed the Rhineland crisis in March, 1936; the vote was 98 percent in support.

Hitler and his speeches

Hitler in his speeches, suggested to the German people first that they were sick, second that he alone could make them well.

His arguments were passionate:

“You are humiliated. You are degraded. Germany is a sick nation. Admit it. Concede the extent of your misery. You have been trying to persuade yourselves that you are content with this miserable republic.”

“Those who stabbed you in the back, the Jews and the Marxists, are ruling you today. They prevent you from recovering your self-respect. They are the spiritual death of your nation. And your own spiritual death too. For you are Germany. We are Germany. Be men! Out with the traitors, the Jews, the pacifists, the republicans….” And so on.

These speeches had an immense emotional effect. Women, especially, were overcome by them. If the audience was full of women, Hitler would shriek out, “You are mine, and I am yours, as long as I live!”

For the Germans, suppression of liberty was the price they were willing to pay for his leadership. Hitler was a socialist.

Stalin perfected Socialism. It is called Communism.

Under communism, dictatorship of the Proletarian is the rule. Anyone who is against the rules established by the communist rulers, is an enemy of the state and must be liquidated. By 1938, Stalin was still busy exterminating state enemies, by now in the millions.

The Soviets, under Stalin’s chairmanship, even had a constitution. “The Constitution guarantees paid employment, leisure, and free education to all the inhabitants of the country.”

Just like Hitler, Stalin had a similar, but different mission.

In 1938, Stalin was the leader of the Communist International, which had roots in ALL countries. He was confident, that the Communism will rule the word without any military intervention. Stalin had no reason to go to war. The only purpose of his army was to defend the new and young communist society he was building. In 1938 Stalin had no fighting army to speak of.

Roosevelt signs Yalta agreement

Roosevelt by signing the Yalta agreement with Stalin, did more damage to the world than the war itself.

By 1943, Roosevelt had come to the view that the independence of small states was an obstruction on the road to peace, and that the Great Powers had the right to impose governments on states without the consent of their populations. Roosevelt was entranced with a vision of a world peacefully directed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

Washington and London kept fueling Stalin's war machine even as it was enslaving much of Europe. "Soviet preponderance in Europe," noted Churchill's official biographer Martin Gilbert, did not stop more aid to Stalin, code-named Milepost, including a delivery agreed to on April 3, 1945--after FDR's above comment. "Under this agreement, Russia was to receive, and did receive, more than a thousand fighter aircraft and 240,000 tons of aircraft fuel, as well as 24,000 tons of rubber from Britain, and more than three thousand aircraft, three thousand tanks, nine thousand jeeps, sixteen thousand weapons carriers and 41,436 trucks from the United States, as well as nearly two thousand million dollars worth of machinery and equipment."
